As a student at Georgia Northwestern Technical College, you are required to maintain a
positive level of work ethics. By practicing work ethics everyday in the classroom, you
are preparing for the skills needed to be a successful employee. Because of these
occupational and work habits, the lab will be treated like a work environment. You will
be evaluated on your demonstration on the following work ethic categories. Each week
you will focus on the given topic as you build habits from the previous week. Weeks 1115 will allow for reflection and practice of all work ethics skills covered in the term.
