AVI-A-11 COURSE REQUIREMENTS and/or COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION: Before a student may be allowed into the lab setting, the student must pass safety and item specific online and classroom training. Individual Mastery is defined as being able to perform the task, on their own, with minimal to no guidance from the instructor or team mates. Students are be evaluated on each item, mainly in a hands on setting, after the student has had time to practice both with the instructor and their team mates. Students may practice as many times as they deem necessary to feel comfortable enough to move to the examination phase. When a student is ready to be evaluated, the student should inform the instructor and instructor monitored evaluations begin. Students must show individual Mastery, to the instructor, of any required item, before moving on to the next item. Failing the Mastery examination, the instructor may give feedback to the student and designate a path for practicing before attempting Mastery again. Testing may not start over immediately. In some cases, the student may use video to demonstrate Mastery. Students must obtain instructor approval prior to attempting this submission method. Videos must be made in a college approve setting. Videos made at home or at an employer s work place will not be accepted or considered. Videos may be uploaded to the LMS by the student and evaluated by the instructor. It is the instructor s decision if the student can move forward before the task is evaluated. If the student fails to demonstrate Mastery by the video submission method, the student may need to go back and start the evaluation process over.
