|Feedback will also be provided for student learning skills. Skills like working independently, team work, organization, work habits |
|and homework, and initiative are assessed independently based on student achievement and will be conducted through the use of a |
|rubric indicating specific criteria to be achieved to receive each of the following letter grades: |
|E—Excellent G—Good S—Satisfactory N—Needs Improvement |
|Other Evaluation Issues: |
|LATE ASSIGNEMENTS: All assignments are to be submitted on or before the due date and time as specified by the course teacher. A |
|major assignment (one which may give evidence of a significant number of ministry course expectations) not handed in on the due date |
|will receive a maximum penalty of 10%. A mark of zero will be given if the assignment is handed in after the closure date, unless |
|extenuating circumstances prevail, as determined in consultation with the school administration. Work will be assessed and returned |
|with comments. Any presentations or performance tasks that are missed because of an unexcused absence may be assigned a zero for |
|that portion of the assignment. |
|INCOMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS: Assignments will be graded according to the extent with which they meet the criteria established in the |
|rubric or evaluation structure. |
|MISSED TESTS: Tests missed with a legitimate reason will be written within a few days of the student returning from the absence. |
|Student eligibility to write the test and the date will be at the discretion of the teacher in consultation with the department head.|
|CULMINATING ACTIVITIES: These activities are an integral part of the summative assessment of material covered. Under normal |
|circumstances permission will not given for a student to write exams or complete any culminating activity other than on the |
|designated dates and schedules. |
|EXTENDED ABSENCES: Regular attendance on the part of students is vital to the process of learning. A student who is absent for any |
|prolonged period may suffer in the evaluation process because his/her participation and achievement cannot be fully assessed and may |
|not be granted the credit. |
|PLAGIARISM: In any form reflects academic dishonesty and will result in a mark of zero for the assignment in question. |
