Fire Alarm Fifth Year

Mark Arend called in and asked if he needed to have NFPA 72 to do the fire alarm lessons.  Although it is shown as a reference, 99% of the information is available in the text.  The fire alarm course book now includes information for a Journeyman class aimed at getting folks ready to take the NICET certification examination.  A person preparing for that test would buy the NFPA 72 standard and go through it, marking it up during the class and getting familiar with where to find the requirements.  You, as fifth year apprentices, do not need this reference because nearly all the information is reprinted or explained in your text book.

 

Thanks for looking ahead and asking questions!!

Fifth Year Instrumentation Lessons

Felix B. asked a couple of questions about the Instrumentation Lessons that you all may be trying to figure out soon.  First off, the questions based on the glossary do have answers in the book.  It is just hard to look up the term given the definitions.  Try scanning through the glossary, reading the questions for similar wording and answering what you can, then repeat, getting as many as you can before you have to slog through reading all the definitions.

 

Secondly, the references are off for the Instrumentation lessons.  All of the lessons reference chapter one in the reading, but if you look at the title of the lesson and the introductory information you could figure out which chapters in the reading apply pretty easily.  Here is how they line up.

Lessons 1, 2, & 3 are from Chapters 1 & 2

Lessons 4 & 5 are from Chapter 3

Lesson 6  from Chapter 4

Lesson 7 from Chapter 5

Lesson 8 from Chapter 6

 

I hope this helps.

Back from Knoxville:
Dennis, Denny and Greg are back in town from Knoxville. There has been only one call from a fifth year apprentice regarding homework, so either things are going along nicely or only one person has started doing homework. Please go through the Inside Syllabus and look at how it is organized, call if you have any questions.

Dennis, Greg and Denny are out of town. There have been some questions about homework already, please use a comment to this post or an email to greg to ask your questions. A post works much better because everyone can see the whole thread of the conversation and perhaps post something they have seen in the homework that I am not even aware of yet. Remember about 40% of the curriculum has changed and we just finished the last week of school a few days before leaving for Knoxville, so not all the answers will come trippingly off the top of our heads but we do have the authors of the texts right here to ask questions of so fire away. Just click below and on the right hand part of this pane that says how many comments there are. After you post a comment I will automatically get an email and will start working on the reply. Please sign your first name, last initial and make sure I know what year of the program you are asking about.
