Course Expectations
• Come to class prepared and on time- textbook, binder, pencil, eraser, ruler and calculator
• You are expected to work during the time given to you in class. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions when you are having difficulty and will reduce the amount of homework
• Assignments are to be handed in at the beginning of class. Late assignments will lose 10% per day and/or will result in attending homework club
• If you are away it is your responsibility to plan ahead and/or collect any material you are missing. Please take care of this outside class time.
• Missed assignments or tests will only be accepted or rescheduled for excused absences
• Extra help is available. Come see me any time at lunch or after school or you can make arrangements with me to ensure I will be available.
• Please recycle paper and bottle/cans. They do not belong in the garbage!
• There will be no bathroom breaks 15 minutes after class as started or 15 minutes before it ends.
• Music is allowed provided the volume remains at a level that only you can hear and headphones are off during instruction.
• Not cell phones. This includes phones that have an mp3 player. You will have to find another device to listen to your music.
• Respect the people and property around you, as well as yourself.
• DO YOUR BEST!

General Course Information/Materials/
SCIENCE/GEOGRAPHY COURSE INFORMATION
TEACHER: Mr. Robinson ROOM: 131
EVALUATION:
A. Term Lettergrades. Approximately 50% of each term lettergrade will be based on class assignments such as lab reports, question sets, homework checks, and research projects. These are the easiest marks because you can get help when needed. The remaining 50% of the term mark will be from chapter and unit tests.
A 86%+ B 73-85 C+ 67-72 C 60-66 Pass 50-59
B. Final Course Lettergrade. This will be determined using:
SCIENCE:
40% Term 1 40% Term 2 20% Final Exam.
GEOGRAPHY:
30% Term 1 30% Term 2 20% Final Exam
EXTRA HELP:
If you find you require extra help please arrange to see me after school. I’m usually doing lab setup before school and at lunch so don’t have much extra time then. I don’t mind you contacting me at home in the evenings or on weekends at 837-5813. You or your parents can also email me at grobinson@sd19.bc.ca

Marks will be taken off for late assignments unless there is an acceptable excuse with a note from parent. Generally assignments won’t be accepted if they are more than a week late.
ABSENT?
Come in and see me asap after returning. We can make a plan for you to write any missed tests or to complete assignments. See a classmate to get any missed course notes.
