By the end of the course students will: - demonstrate personal competence in applying complex movement skills and principles - apply the guidelines and strategies that enhance participation in recreational and sports activities - participate regularly in a balanced instructional program that includes a wide variety of physical activities that encourage lifelong participation - develop personal health-related physical fitness - demonstrate responsibility for their personal safety and the safety of others - describe how society and culture affect individual perceptions and expressions of sexuality - demonstrate an understanding of strategies that promote personal safety and prevent injuries - demonstrate an ability to use specific strategies to enhance their own mental health and that of others - demonstrate an understanding of strategies that promote healthy relationships - use decision-making and goal-setting skills to enhance their daily lives - demonstrate an understanding of the importance of respect for self and respect for others in reducing conflict in their personal lives - use social skills to work effectively in groups and enhance relationships LATE/MISSED ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES Students are expected to complete all evaluation activities. Special considerations for late or missed assignments will only be given for legitimate reasons. Examples of legitimate reasons include sickness or family emergencies. A note from the doctor may be required. Considerations 1. If the evaluation was done during class time, the student will be given an opportunity to complete the activity at a time arranged by the instructor. 2. If the evaluation was required to be submitted on a due date, an extension will be granted to the student, the length of which will be determined by the teacher. 3. If a student has been excused from class due to a school function, considerations will only be given if prior discussion has occurred with the teacher. Non-Legitimate Reasons When a student fails to complete an assessment or evaluation activity because of a non-legitimate reasons, an "M" will be recorded in the teacher records indicating that the activity was missed. Examples of non-legitimate reasons include skipping classes on that date that an evaluation is done or required to be submitted, or failing to complete assignments because of poor time management skills. Failure to complete assessment and evaluation activities reduces the body of evidence upon which the instructor can evaluate student achievement of curriculum expectations and could jeopardize the granting of a credit for the course. CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM Academic honesty is expected of all students. In accordance with the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations, a student will: - "Achieve(s) excellence, originality, and integrity in one's own work and support these qualities in the work of others." (OCSGE, A Collaborative Contributor, g) Cheating is the direct attempt to use another's work as one's own, an act of deliberate dishonesty. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that is serious, legal, ethical and an academic offense, be it intentional or unintentional. Students have the responsibility to ensure that all work submitted is their own or appropriately attributed to its source. |

A student knowing in advance that he/she will miss a test, MUST inform the instructor well in advance so that other arrangments can be made.
