3 Scientific Questions…
1.
2.
3.
In what way do LATES affect marks?
In what way does ATTENDANCE affect
marks?
Which of the 2 will have more of an
effect?
Conclusion?
If you are never ABSENT, your average
final mark is 77%
 If you are never LATE, your average
final mark is 78%
 Every time you are ABSENT, your mark
drops -0.97%
 Every time you are LATE, your mark
drops -1.45%

Correlation vs. Causation?

 OneDrive/Notes for scanning and
uploading written work
Scanning Assignments
Single PDF file (not 1 file per page)

 Portrait, not landscape
 Work will not be accepted if these criteria
aren’t met

Academic Honesty
Hand in your own work
You must hand in original work, written in
your own words
 All reports will be handed in using on D2L
using “Turnitin.com”

Assignments
Hand in work on time

for each late assignment
 Once I’ve handed it back, you can no
longer submit the assignment

Use Curriculum Document to come up with
your own assessment
Communication
Ask questions if you do not understand
something
Questions should be asked with the intent
of becoming a better scientist
Test Days
Tests MUST be written on test days
during the allotted time.
 If you know you’re going to be away, you
must let me know ahead of time
 Potential consequences of late test:

10% penalty
 Version 2 will be written instead
 Further disciplinary action
