How you will be graded for this project
1. This project is to simulate employment in a manufacturing job.
2. If you are not working during the class period, you will lose participation points. (You must work for 2 continuous hours before you a break)
3. Using a cell phone during production forfeits all points for the day.
4. You are expected to abide by all safety rules.
5. Clean-up is expected daily.
