NOTES:

Specific details for each assignment will be discussed in class. ALL assignments must be completed to receive a final grade for this class.

REQUIREMENTS:

Students are expected to come prepared, on-time and ready to fully participate in each class. Students are expected to limit their technology use to when it is practical to do so, and monitor their own extraneous use of technology. Attendance is important as a significant amount of material will be covered each week. Some lessons will involve in-class assignments and activities to facilitate the learning of various teaching methods and strategies. Furthermore, you will have class time to work on your group project, so in fairness to your group members, it is pertinent that you attend regularly. Failure to attend without a doctors’ note or previous arrangements made ahead of time with the instructor will result in a 2-mark deduction from your participation mark.

It is also expected that students will act and communicate in a respectful manner both with their peers and their instructor at all times. Students are expected to be mindful of cultural differences, be inclusive of their peers, be respectful of gender identity expression, and use humour that is not demeaning to others. The classroom is a place in which the physical and emotional well-being of all students must be upheld, and as teachers, we will aim to model these behaviours in class.
