    COURSE REQUIREMENTS/DEPARTMENT POLICIES


    MISSED TESTS/SUMMATIVES: It is the students responsibility to make
    arrangements, ahead of time, for any summative evaluations that are missed. If a
    student misses an evaluation for an unforeseen reason such as illness or family
    emergency, the student must bring a note signed by a parent or guardian and be
    prepared to write/make-up the evaluation immediately upon return to school.
    MISSED EXAMS: Students are required to write all scheduled examinations. A
    student who misses any examination due to illness must present a medical note,
    stating that the doctor was aware that a medical reason prevented the student from
    writing the exam.

    ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION STRATEGIES:

    Assessment for learning (Diagnostic):

    Occurs before instruction begins to determine student readiness and to obtain information about student interests

    and student preferences.

    Assessment as learning (Formative): Occurs frequently and in an ongoing manner during instruction, to enable students to monitor their own progress
    towards achieving their learning goals (self assessment)
    Assessment of learning (Summative): Occurs at or near the end of a period of learning, this summary is used to make judgements about the quality of
    student learning using established criteria, to assign a value to represent that quality and to communicate information about achievement to students and parents.
    LEARNING SKILLS AND WORK HABITS:
    Evaluate on a report card as E(excellent); G(good); S(satisfactory); N(needs improvement)
    1) Responsibility

    2) Organization

    3) Independent Work

    4) Collaboration

    5)Initiative

    6) Self-Regulation

    TERM WORK: ACHIEVEMENT CATEGORIES (to be reduced from 100 to worth 70% of overall mark)
