STEINBACH REGIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL<br />
COURSE OUTLINE<br />
Teacher's Name: Mr. N. Boulanger<br />
Course Name & Number: History of Canada<br />
Rationale: (Why it is important to study this course)<br />
General Objectives of the Course:<br />
(WE FILL THIS IN AS A CLASS ON THE FIRST DAY)
GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
For this course, you will require each day: Textbook -- unless stated otherwise<br />
Notebook / Binder<br />
Pen or pencil or both<br />
YOU -- in class and on time<br />
Your mind -- awake, in working order<br />
Mark Distribution:<br />
Term Work (tests) 45%<br />
Term Work (projects + assignments) 35%<br />
Final Examination 20%<br />
_____________<br />
= 100%<br />
All assignments MUST be satisfactorily completed ON TIME (beginning of class). I will be reasonable<br />
about due dates, but I do expect you to do things punctually. Assignments submitted unreasonably<br />
late – with no valid excuse – will receive a zero.<br />
Students missing a test will need to make arrangements to write the test the day they get back to<br />
school. Be prepared to write the test during your spare or lunch; I will not let you miss a class to<br />
make up for a class you missed. This leads to a space-time Einsteinian loop, and I’ll never see you<br />
again!<br />
If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out what material you missed the day before.<br />
Ask a friend or ask me – but make sure you ask! Please don’t come to me 5 weeks after an<br />
assignment was given and say, “Yeah….I missed some kind of assignment, uh, way back. Can I do it<br />
now?”<br />
Students are expected to behave with respect and courtesy at all times in the classroom. If a<br />
student's behavior constantly disrupts the learning environment, that student will be warned. If the<br />
unruly behavior continues, the student will be asked to leave the classroom. The student will NOT<br />
be readmitted into the class until s/he has met with the teacher. These meetings will take<br />
place after school.<br />
Re: cell phones and mp3 players: I do not want to see these<br />
devices in class at all when you are attending to a lecture, a<br />
video, or a class discussion (sneaky Secret-Serviceheadphones-hidden-mostly-in-your-jacket-but-sticking-outof-your-ears<br />
count for this, too.) For the times when we are<br />
using class time to work, I have no problem if you listen to<br />
music, provided it is not so loud that it is a distraction to<br />
others. If you cannot abide by this, I will confiscate your<br />
device and may leave it in the Office for your parent to pick<br />
up at the end of the day.
