Whether this includes going to school after you graduate (post secondary) or entering the workforce, your future is your own.

Additionally, when making a plan for yourself, you should consider what you want for your future. Maybe you have an idea of what that is already, maybe you don’t have a clue yet. A big part of this course is for you to learn about yourself. This will help you plan a future that makes you happy. Course Description:

7. Late Assignments Policy: Late assignments will have 5% deducted off their final grade for each day (including weekends) it is late, up to a total of 30%. When an assignment is six days late, it will only be accepted with a prior agreement with myself. This agreement may include an assignment to makeup for the lateness of the original assignment and will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Assignments WILL NOT be accepted later than 1 week prior to exams. It is extremely important that students take responsibility for their actions and take the initiative for any late assignments or any foreseen lateness, by discussing the matter with me as soon as possible.

8. Academic Honesty: Plagiarism is the practice of copying the work of others and submitting it as your own and will not be tolerated in this class. Plagiarism can include, copying homework/classwork/tests and essays of other students in the class, or copying other sources in your work without referencing them. An example of this would be copying a quote from an essay/video/website or any other source and not making proper notation of where this came from or who said it. Without references, you are taking credit for someone else’s work. Any student found to be plagiarizing will receive zero on their assignment and after a meeting with me, may be given an opportunity to write a make- up assignment.
