Frequently Asked
Questions:
1. Can I bring food or drinks into the class?
¨ Water bottles or any kind of drink bottle / device with a secure lid are allowed
¨
NO FOOD
- This room is
primarily a Biology Lab. As a result, for safety reasons food is not allowed in this classroom.
2. Can I listen to music in class? (Personal CD player, MP3 player,
iPod)
¨
ASK MR LLOYD FIRST!
¨
This class involves a degree of
discussion and there are often a lot of good questions and additional
instructions given. Close attention is often required.
3. What happen if I miss a test?
¨ For any excused absence: Stuff happens. Sometimes due to circumstances beyond your control you may miss or do poorly on a test. Should you find yourself in this situation and you have a verifiable excuse, you may write a make up test.
¨ Due to scheduling make up tests will occur on the following Friday at 3:35pm
¨
Should you miss a test due to any unexcused absence you will receive a mark of zero and you may
not write a
make up test!
4. What happens if I hand in assignments late?
¨ DON’T DO IT. The penalty for handing in assignments late is harsh!
¨
Now should you be sick or absent (with a
verified reason) on the day an assignment was due then you may submit it
without penalty on your first day back
to class
5. What happens if I miss a class?
¨
The expectation in High School
is that you become responsible for your learning. Should you miss a class (or
classes) for any reason, it is your
responsibility to make arrangements to get any information that you may
have missed. This course moves very
quickly so make sure that you get caught up as soon as possible!
6. How can I get extra help in Science?
¨ Peer Tutoring is available in the resource room (room 23) at lunch
¨ I will be running “Science 911” sessions at least once a week
¨ You can ask questions from me directly at almost anytime at Askmrlloyd@shaw.ca
I am looking
forward to working with all of you.
