WHAT ARE COMMON STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS AND
+j +j +j +j +j +j



STUMBLING BLOCKS? +j




 Without experience, students will struggle with understanding how an automotive shop functions.
+j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j


 Possibly have a shop owner visit the class or arrange to take the students to observe a shop duri
+j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j


ng operating hours.
+j +j


 To help students understand a shop’s different job classifications, place various students as the sho
+j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j


p foreman or service writer and have them arrange the “workload” for the day’s shop activities.
+j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j


 Have the students refer to the job classification section of the chapter as a reference for thes
+j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j +j


e assignments. Refer to pages 8-12 of Chapter 1 for reference.
