In the Brakes course I have them research information on thair own vehicle pertaining to specific chapters or certian concerns. After teaching them the material or subject matter we go to lab and apply the learned skills. Then we referance the researched data and diognisis the problems from what we have learned. This helps them releate to the feild experiances and recorces they will need in the future.It also makes it more interesting when they can use their own vehicle to learn with.

it is vary important to meet and greet the students on the first day.make them feel welcome and introduce who you are and set the exceptations for the class.i give thema course cylibus in paper and go over the info oraly to explain and answere any questions.i also include the class room and lab rules and regulations.
