Student work will be evaluated based on the provincial curriculum expectations and the achievement levels outlined in the ministry document. Mark calculation will be computed according to the following distribution:

Term Assessment: 70% of final mark Summative Assessment: 30% of final mark: Final Exam Culminating Project

PLAGIARISM/CHEATING: It is your responsibility to ensure that only your original work is submitted for assessment and evaluation purposes. Copied or plagiarized work will receive a mark of zero, your parent or guardian will be informed and the office will be notified of the situation. During quizzes, tests and examinations, if you are looking at another student’s paper or using unauthorized materials, you will receive a mark of zero, your parent or guardian will be informed and the office will be notified of the situation.

ATTENDANCE/LATE PROCEDURES FOR MISSED ASSIGNMENTS: It is imperative that you login to class on time each and every day. Late arrival to class is a disturbance to the learning process of others.

If you miss an evaluation, you must submit a written explanation of your absence. This note must be signed by a parent or guardian if you are under 18 years of age. Once your reason for missing the evaluation is established, a new time will be scheduled for you to complete the work. You will not be permitted to make-up a missed evaluation during class time. Unexcused absences will result in a mark of zero.
