Today my students make my day. I am very proud of my students for their accomplishment so far. When they started last August I had to hold their hands to do everything in the lab.
Today a student's mother brought her 1995 Infiniti for us to work on, she want to replaced the front and rear rotors, brake pads, along with both front lower control arms, both outer tie-rods and bellows.
I assigned five students to the job, they started at 12:30pm and the job was completed in less than 2 hours.
Normally I would assigned the brake job for one day and the rest for the following day but the students go a head and complete everything.
If this was done at a car dealership it would be approximately 16clock hours.
I need your students. My car has been making a squealing sound for two months and NO ONE that I've taken it to has been able to fix the problem. I've decided to drive it until it breaks down. Then, maybe the issue will be obvious and someone will fix it.
ReplyDeleteI also had to "hold my students" hands during every lab that I conducted. This semester has been entirely different. The students have matured and have learned what I expect of them. The more advanced students are influencing the younger students to excel and to follow all lab rules and regulations.
ReplyDeletePS - When my car breaks down, I just beg my wife to buy a new one.
