Assessment+and+Classroom+Policies

__**Student Assessment**__ Students will be assessed in the following ways:
 * check mark homework
 * Unit Tests
 * regular in-class or homework assignment
 * project work
 * closed book assessment

__**Homework Expectations**__

Homework will us ually be set every class and will be about 20 - 30 minutes in duration. Completing homework is as important as attending class. It is an extension of class time, where students will research or think about, practice and apply concepts discussed in class.

__**Late Work Policy**__

Academic penalties will be imposed for late work in order to uphold fairness. Penalties will be discussed with the students and will vary according to the assignment.

__**Course Make-up Work**__

Students will be required to make-up work for absences. When a student is absent they need to communicate with the teacher to find out what work is to be caught up on and the deadline for catching-up.

__**Participation**__

It is expected that students 'contribute positively' in class.

Examples of Positive Participation
 * showing leadership in teamwork and bringing the best out of team members
 * contributing in class discussions
 * taking good notes
 * sustaining a good level of focus in class
 * General positive behavior

Examples of actions that would decrease the participation grade include:
 * being off task in class
 * emailing
 * flash games
 * completing assignments for other classes in stats class
 * delaying in starting assignments in class
 * distracting others
