FORMAT

This course will be delivered with a combination of lessons, hands on projects, and labs. Much of the course will be taught in a self-directed student centred style. Students will work individually and in small groups to complete assigned projects.

MARK BREAKDOWN

A mark is generated on the report card based on the following breakdown;

Late and missed assignments are temporarily given a mark of zero until the student confers with the teacher as to the reason. Depending on the circumstances, the late or missed assignments, may be accepted late with no penalty, accepted late with penalty (reduction of mark), assigned an omit (not counted) or an incomplete (mark of zero). This determination will be in accordance with the guidelines set by Colonel By Secondary School and OCDSB Assessment Evaluation and Reporting Policy.

STUDENT PROTOCOL

Students are expected to act responsibly and adhere strictly to safety rules and procedures. Each student is required to keep and bring to class a notebook.

Safety of all individuals in Technological design is paramount. Due to the nature and safety aspects of the Technological Design facility, students are not to wear outside clothing (jackets) and are encouraged not to bring knapsacks or other courses’ materials to class.

Security and care of equipment in the lab is very important. Students are not allowed to touch equipment for which they have not been authorized to do so. Specifically students are not to adjust controls or connect any wires for which they are not been allowed. Only one person operates a computer at one time. Violation or attempts to violate the security or corrupt software on the computers is forbidden and will result in consequences.
