Rubrics and specific written instructions will be provided whenever possible for majors project and assignments. Workload and types of activities You can expect to participate in many types of activities in this course, such as discussions and debates, role plays and presentations, essays and personal reflections. Currently, there is no textbook for this course, but photocopied reading will be assigned. Because there is no textbook, students will often be required to conduct research and report findings back to the class. There will be no tests or quizzes in this course. There will be a moderate amount of homework in this class, especially when projects are due. Expectations This is a student-centred course. That means that a great deal of responsibility is placed on the students. Besides the regular expectations for behaviour (respect learning atmosphere, stay on task, etc), students are expected to contribute to the learning community of the classroom. That means contributing in a meaningful and supportive way to discussions, and completing all assigned tasks on time. Seat warming that is, attend but not doing anything is not acceptable. Attendance/Lates Frequent or extended absences will make it very difficult to keep up with the requirements for this course. Please make every effort to book holidays during school breaks. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed when you are away. Please bring a note explaining any absences. Parents and administration will be notified of frequent unexcused lates or absences.

Plagiarism/Cheating You are expected to complete all assignments on your own, unless otherwise directed by your teacher. It is expected that all parts of your work will be in your own words, that none of it will be copied from another source (such as a book, the internet, another student, etc.), unless used to support your own work, and properly documented. It is also expected that you will not knowingly let another student copy your work. Any student caught breaking these rules will receive zero on the assignment, and their parents and the administration will be notified.
