WHAT ARE COMMON STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS AND
u u u u u



STUMBLING BLOCKS?
u u



• Without experience, students will struggle with understanding how an automotive shop functions.
u u u u u u u u u u u


• Possibly have a shop owner visit the class or arrange to take the students to observe a shop
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


during operating hours.
u u u


• To help students understand a shop’s different job classifications, place various students as the shop
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


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


• Have the students refer to the job classification section of the chapter as a reference for these
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


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




SHOP ACTIVITIES AND CASE STUDIES
u u u u



Here are some activities you can review in-class as a group, or ask students to complete individually or in
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


pairs:
u




1. Research a vehicle of your choice. Visit the manufacturer or dealership website. Make a list of all
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


of the systems in that vehicle that are controlled by electronics. If you are unsure of system,
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


include its name on the list and talk to your instructor about it.
