Learning Guides:

Before you write a unit exam, you must send me the Learning Guide leading up to the exam. All submissions MUST be laid out in a neatly, well organized manner. If you can’t figure out a question, you should be researching it, then asking for help.

 

Projects:

Projects allow you to make some choices on how you wish to enhance your understanding and apply knowledge. As you work through units look for projects that will enhance your understanding in areas or interest and/or weakness. Make sure to consult with me about the projects.

 

Exam Supervision:

All end of unit exams are “closed book” and require supervision with a Sea to Sky Online teacher.
