Spot the code infraction!




Seems Legit

Homework: Hallowe'en Edition

Well, I hope no one got too scared from their exam marks, because things are going to get scary hard in no time flat.

3 wire circuits and dividing voltage among loads is tricky, but we'll all get there. We're doing really well, and I hope we can continue to do so! Unfortunately, I can't find any good tutorials online to help show everyone what's going on, so please please PLEASE listen intently to Norm in class.

The homework tonight was pretty simple. AELC pages 53-60, and reading LT 14 in D2.

Without further adieu...

There are at least 13 people not following this crap! (Says the hypocrite)...

Anyhow, people, things are getting really fast and furious like a tokyo drift. We've got that code homework that has been sitting on the back burner for a bit, but more importantly we have some other items to address.

First, we're kinda jumping fast into these branch circuits and 3-wire systems. Don't worry though; Norm is very good at leading us to the point he wants to get to. We'll all get there, we just have to hang on and help each other as much as we can!!

Second, we have that nasty combination circuit exam tomorrow. I was cringing about it all day, but I found something extremely useful to me and I thought I'd share it with all of you:

Combination Circuits Explained; Most Excellent!

They do a fantastic job of explaining how to re-draw a combination circuit, and I can guarantee this will help you on the exam tomorrow.

Now, for the homework. Norm wanted us to complete LT/ST 10-13 in D2 and 53-57 in AELC.

We'll get through this come hell or high water!

I leave you with a famous quote,

October 23 - Important Notice

Everyone needs to have their tool kits and PPE!

Hardhat - As long as it's CSA approved, you're good to go!
Safety Glasses - The ones from Kwantlen are fine.
Steel-Toed Boots - We've all got those.

As for the tools, Norm said we'd be going to the shop tomorrow so we better be on our best behaviour.

And now for something completely boring!

AELC Book: Code: Section 4. All of Section 4. 4A (#4, 7, 8, 9, 10) 4B (#4, 7, 9, 10) 4C (#4, 7, 9, 10)

That's all! Hope everyone's excited for tomorrow!

Test Oct 3! And 4!

That's right. Back-to-back for the first time, and probably not the last, we will have a section D1 test on October 3 (that's tomorrow for all you fellow beer lovers). It's e'rry thang from ST 1-10, which encompasses a lot of things, so be sure to bring your multi-tool back to class so we can all beat Norm with it once we're completed our test :).

Kidding. Maybe. (Let's see how hard this test REALLY is)

And then on Thursday it's everyone's favourite subject: Safety. That's right. We're all going to have to prove to Norm that none of those videos were factual evidence and first hand accounts of workplace safety violations.

Speaking of which...

This is what we've worked for people!!

Kick ass and take names e'rrybody!
