1. All evidence collected through observations, conversations and student products; 2. The number of incomplete evaluations; 3. The evidence of achievement that is available for each overall expectation in the course. After considering the above evidence, teachers will use their professional judgment to derive a mark that accurately reflects the students most consistent level of achievement. Late and Missed Assignments Students are not only responsible for their behaviour in the classroom and the school but also for providing evidence of their achievement within a time frame specified by the teacher, and in a form approved by the teacher. Teachers will use a variety of strategies to help prevent and/or address late and missed assignments. The final strategy to address late and missed assignments involves deducting marks up to and including the full value of the assignment. For major assignments for evaluation, teachers may impose mark deductions of 5% a day with 25% of the earned mark as the maximum penalty.
