EVALUATION
Students will be evaluated using levels in the overall expectations of the course.
MARK BREAKDOWN


Course work (tests, quizzes, assignments, etc.) will be worth 70% of the final mark.
Summative/Exam will be worth 30% of the final mark
MISSED CLASS POLICY
For any absence, it is the student’s responsibility to make up all work missed during his/her
absence. The best way to do this is to speak to another student in the class about notes and
other important information (eg. handouts given, due dates, upcoming tests). My website will have
important dates and homework assignments but not class notes. If you send me an email I may
be able to send you handouts and some notes. Please read the notes and attempt the homework
before you come for help.
MISSED TEST/LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
It is the responsibility of the student to let the teacher know in advance if he/she will be missing
any major evaluation for any known reason (medical appointment, sport event, field trip,…) so that
the teacher and student can arrange an alternate date for the evaluation to take place.
Additionally, if a student misses a major evaluation unexpectedly (illness, …), it is the student’s
responsibility to contact the teacher as soon as possible to arrange an alternate date for the
evaluation.

The student will be given a second opportunity to be evaluated on a date to be determined by the
teacher within two weeks of the missed evaluation.
If the student misses the second opportunity to be evaluated, he/she will receive a zero for
that evaluation to represent lack of evidence of achievement in the expectations covered by
that evaluation.
Late assignments cannot be accepted after solutions are posted, results discussed or
assignments have been returned to some students. It is always best to discuss with the teacher
the possibility of your assignment being late so that alternate arrangements can be made.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is assigned daily and in quantities that the teacher deems most effective in helping
students prepare to meet the overall expectations of the course. While homework is not
directly calculated as part of the mark, there is a strong positive correlation between
completion of homework and success in the course. So do your homework and, of course, don’t
forget to always check your answers with the back of the book.

I am available for help in the math help room (room 250) between 8:15-9 am everyday. For
help at lunch or after school please check with me first.
Peer tutoring is available in the Opportunity Room at lunch on a drop in basis.
A list of tutors and the grades they are willing to tutor will be available in late September.
TO
SUCCEED
IN
MATH CLASS
Actively participate in class. Try the investigation questions and think about patterns.
Listen to the teacher’s explanations and to other students’ discoveries and questions.
Take notes but try to follow along with the examples rather than just copy them down.
Do all your homework everyday.
See me for help as soon as you need it.
