B. Project: 20%
C. Notebook: 20%
D. Classwork/Homework: 20%

 

 

Homework Policy
Assignments are to be handed in ON TIME. A student who is absent has until the next class to make up an assignment. You must ask for missed assignments - you may not be reminded. Textbooks are issued to students to take home so that assignments are easy to complete.

 

 

Test Policy
Tests will be given 2 or 3 times per marking period and will usually cover a single unit (2-3 weeks of information). As with quizzes, classwork, notes and Prevention Focus info. are all fair game as topics for testing.

 

 

Quiz Policy
Quizzes will be given often, usually based on notes and recent assignments. Classwork, notes and things done with Prevention Focus are all fair game as quiz information.

 

 

Projects
One project will be given per marking period. It will either be an internet project or a demonstration in front of the class. Projects are researched in the school library and then finished on the student's time. Having no computer at home is not a viable excuse for incomplete projects because students will get 3-4 days to complete projects and may use school computers in the morning and during study halls.
