Assessment Types
| Assignments – 35% of total score. Each unit has one or two assignments. Most are downloadable MS Word documents, PDFs, or Google Docs that you must download to your computer, complete, and then upload to the Assignment folder. | |
| Forums – 15% of total score. Each unit has at least one forum. Be sure to review the instructions carefully, and respond thoughtfully and thoroughly within each forum. | |
| Unit Review Quizzes – 10% of total score. Unit Review Quizzes are found at the end of each unit. These multiple choice quizzes are scored immediately, and feedback (if applicable) is provided. After you have completed the first attempt,
review the quiz feedback again. You may take the Unit Reviews a second time if you wish. Your mark will be the
best mark out of the two attempts.
Supervised Exams - 40% of total score. This course has two supervised exams.
|
Exam One and Exam Two must be supervised by an approved exam supervisor. If you receive an average of less than 40% on Exam Two, that average will be your final mark for the course. However, if this happens, you should contact your teacher and request an appeal exam.
| In addition to the Unit Review quizzes, you will also encounter Self-Check Quizzes. The Unit Review Quizzes and Self-Check Quizzes review content learned throughout the unit, as well as help you prepare for your exams. While Self-Check Quizzes do not count towards the final course mark, they are worth completing to check and review your understanding of Social Studies 20-2 content. Self-Check Quizzes will be indicated by the icon on the left. | |
| Marking Criteria: all assessments include marking criteria (also called rubrics) to show you how they will be marked. If you have any questions about the criteria, contact your teacher. | |
| You should download and use the Checklist feature to find the list of assignments, quizzes, forums, and other assessments required within the unit. You can find the Checklist on the Overview page at the beginning of every unit. |
