Please try to get some pictures of yourselves at work, with your crew, pictures of the work being done and interesting jobsite/architectural/
landscape photos. We will incorporate them in the slideshow for graduation, and we need some fresh photos for the website.
Your week of hands on testing is coming up. We have seen two people in so far to brush up. Call to set a time if you want to brush up, and do it early. Wait too long and there is a greater chance of a scheduling conflict.
We need to finish up the rigging certification. There are a few of you that need to re-take the hand signal practical, and all of you need to do the written test. Bring your rigging materials in and read through them to refresh your memory before coming in for the week of school. Every Monday morning when I read through the rules one of them says to bring ALL of your materials for the year every day, the only exception being blueprints.
There are also some that need to re-take the AMP ACT I certification test. We will not take time away from the rest of the group to accomplish this, we will get it done at the end of the day, probably two days in a row. Think about that when making carpool decisions. Bring your AMP stuff and review it prior to the week of school. Come in and ask for some study material ahead of time if you want it.
The following paragraph is directed at the class as a whole, there are of course some of you that it does not apply to. Please don't take it personally unless you need to.
The main subjects for the last week are Photovoltaics and Power Quality. You will have to read the text books and do the homework. I didn't say fill in the blanks so you don't get in trouble on Monday, I said do your homework. If you don't do the reading and have a clue as to what is going on you will be left behind and fail tests. We have hands on activities that will take a lot of time, activities that really allow you to see how the concepts play out in real life. If the level of preparation for week 4 is the same as the level of preparation was for week 3 (as a class average) it is likely over half the class will fail two tests. We will not have time to do the level of in depth study that it took week 3 to get many of you familiar with the material. The only reason week 3 took so much time was the lack of preparation on your part (speaking to the class as a whole). Many of you showed up with seemingly no clue as to the contents of the Code Calculations text or even much knowledge of your Code book. We will not spend a lot of time in week 4 slogging through homework and doing in depth review. Read the books and be prepared to succeed. Or continue what you did in week three and prepare to fail two tests, with the attending consequences per the failed test policy. Let your spouse or significant other know that the final big raise will have to wait another 30 days, or possibly never happen.
The preceeding paragraph is directed at the class as a whole, there are of course some of you that it does not apply to.
