School, Department and Classroom Policies: The following policies apply to this course.
If a student is absent on the day of his/her presentation, the expectation from the assignment will be deemed
not to have been met. The group must still present on the assigned day.
All assignments are due on the specified date. Extenuating circumstances must be discussed with the teacher
in advance. See Board’s Assessment and Evaluation policy: http://www.wcdsb.ca/ap_memos/PDF/APC017.pdf
Regular homework assignments are due the next class, unless otherwise indicated. When a homework
assignment is collected for correction and evaluation, students will receive an “incomplete” if it is not
handed in at the time of collection.
Students are responsible for requesting extra help.
Students are responsible for the care of the texts, and full replacement costs if lost or damaged.
Student who plagiarizes (submits work other than own for credit including internet translations) is subject to
provisions in Board’s Assessment and Evaluation policy: http://www.wcdsb.ca/ap_memos/PDF/APC017.pdf
Students are responsible for knowing and remembering these policies and the policies outlined in the Student
Agenda. Failure to do so will NOT exempt students from the consequences.
