Test Number Six - Preparation Sheet

The Objectives for this Test are

· That you understand joining processes

· That you understand the polymer processing methods

The Expected Outcomes for you to Show you can meet these Objectives are

• You need to be able to clearly explain the various joining processes. This includes the different types of welding, brazing and soldering. You need to be able to clearly explain the effect that welding, brazing or soldering has on the load bearing ability of the joint.
• You need to be able to clearly explain the various polymer processing techniques: injection molding, “casting”, thermoforming, blow molding, extrusion, and “joining”.
• You will need to be able to describe the suitability for a given process to make a certain part.

Some Tips for Studying for Tests

• Contact me so I can help you succeed.
• Rate how well you know the subject matter, based on the expected outcomes and objectives
• A - I know it super well (this includes, I got it right on the HW and could do it again)
• B- I know it OK, but still need to study (this includes, I got it wrong on the HW but think I could do it right in the future, or I got it right on the HW through luck)
• C- I hope the Professor forgets it (he won't) (This includes, I got it wrong on the HW and have no idea how to do it correctly)
• Study the C's first, the B's second, and the A's third.
• Prepare Review Sheets based on all relevant course materials for each topic.
• Use the review sheets at the end
• Try extra problems or questions (even if you have to make them up, or ask me to make them up)
• Review the Homework Solutions and Assess your Performance on the HW. An assessment includes strengths, areas for improvement and insights. The assessment is a point from which to move forward. The strengths should represent an honest review. The areas for improvement, should include what you will do to improve, insights are (AHA moments) something you suddenly learned.
• Use but do not rely solely on the HW Solutions to study.
• Studying is Active not Passive.
• Studying is Not Looking at Subject Matter for the First Time.
• There are no relevant cribs for this course.
