Question about TERM 3 Marks: “How will all this affect my final mark?”
– Students’ TERM 2 cumulative mark will serve as a provisional baseline mark from which your work and engagement in TERM 3 will serve to improve on. Consistent engagement (communication, attendance) plus submitted work will raise the mark up until the cut-off date (approximately end of May). Work not submitted and/or lack of engagement (communication, attendance) can bring the mark back down, but not lower than the provisional baseline mark established by the end of TERM 2.
Assignments for Week of MAY 4:
All courses: continue making your ongoing observations/questions/thoughts on the current health crisis situation in your Digital Portfolios; as well, all students will have until approximately the end of May to submit any work for Term 3 (online learning assignments) not already submitted.
