MIT TechTV has a number of excellent machine shop training videos. To demonstrate your understanding and knowledge, you are required to take and pass an online quiz for each of the first three videos. Each quiz has nine questions. Your performance will not be graded online at the time you take the quiz. It will be graded later and the results returned to you.
To pass a quiz, you should answer correctly 7 of the 9 questions. If you do not pass the quiz, you must watch the video again and retake the quiz. If you are unable to pass the quiz on its retake, you should contact one of the mentors and review the video's topics.
