Assessment and Evaluation

1Each semester is divided into 2 terms. Students will receive a report card at the end of each
term. Each term mark will reflect the students performance on all work from the beginning of
the semester. The term mark will be composed of the following achievement categories (as
identified in the Achievement Chart- Grades 9 to 12 - Mathematicshttp://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/secondary/math1112currb.pdf pages 28 and 29) with
the corresponding weighting:

Classroom Expectations
1. Do Your Best. This means attending classes, paying attention, doing your homework, asking
questions for clarification, behaving respectfully and taking responsibility for your own
academic success.
2. Be Present. Due to the density of material taught in this course, you are strongly encouraged
to participate fully in every class. If you are absent, you are responsible for catching up on
missed notes or handouts.
3. Be Punctual. Being late hinders your ability to learn effectively and disrupts the learning of
others. If you are late, you must take responsibility for the work you have missed. Students who
are late may be assigned a 5 minute detention immediately after class, unless they are late for the
last period of the day and will serve their detention after class on the following day.
4. Be Ready to Learn. Bring all of the following required materials to class every day: binder,
paper, pen, pencil, textbook, eraser, and scientific calculator.
5. Be Safe. Backpacks, coats, food and drink (except water) are not permitted in class.
6. Be Productive. This means:
Stay in class. To maximize student learning, students will not be permitted (unless in
emergency or for health reasons) to leave the room during a lesson to go to the washroom,
get a drink of water, etc.
Use class time to your advantage. Class time that is not being used for instruction is to be
used to complete the assigned class work/homework.
Respect the learning environment. If you wish to listen to music when completing

homework, you must use headphones and keep the volume at a reasonable level. They are
not permitted during tests or exams.
Minimize distractions. Do not bring cell phones to class.

7. Seek Extra Help. If you are struggling with any concept in this course, ask for help. Extra
help is available during lunch. A schedule will be posted once teacher supervisions are
determined.
8. Tests and other Evaluations. You are to be prepared to write the test or submit the
assignment on that date during the class time allotted. If you follow the classroom expectations
outlined above, you will be prepared for tests. There will always be at least one review period
prior to the test date. You must learn to organize your time so you are prepared for the test on the
assigned date, regardless of the other commitments you have (e.g. sports, job, other tests and
assignments). If you will be absent on a test date you must make the appropriate arrangements
with the classroom teacher.
9. Accommodations and Alternate Learning Environments. All students have unique patterns
of learning. The classroom teacher will ensure that students who require instructional,
environmental or assessment accommodations (i.e. students with IEPs, English Language
Learners, First Nations students, etc.) will have these supports put in place to ensure an accurate
measure of the students skills and knowledge.
I have read and am aware of the guidelines and expectations detailed in the above course outline.
