MCF3C+Course+Outline

** WEST HUMBER **** COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE ** ** MATHEMATICS COURSE OUTLINE ** This course introduces basic features of the function by extending students’ experiences with quadratic relations. It focuses on quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions and their use in modelling real-world situations. Students will represent functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically; simplify expressions; solve equations; and solve problems relating to applications. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

Evaluation is based on the Ministry of Education document, //Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting in Ontario Schools, First Edition, Covering Grades 1 to 12, 2010.// Each student’s grade in this course will be generated as follows: Throughout the course, all evaluations will be divided into categories as set out by the Achievement Chart. Please note that not all categories will be included in a particular evaluation. The categories and their approximate weighting are as follows: Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding) || 30 %  ||   || The use of critical and creative thinking skills and/or processes || 15 %  ||   || The conveying of meaning through various forms || 10 %  ||   || The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts || 15 %  ||   ||
 * __ Evaluation __**
 * ** 70 % of the grade ** will be based on evaluation conducted throughout the course. Such evaluations may take the form of tests, quizzes, and assignments etc.
 * ** 30 % of the grade ** will be based on a final exam and/or culminating activity that will be administered at the end of the course.

 * __ Learning Skills and Work Habits: __**

In addition to a numeric grade, students will be assessed on how well they develop the following learning skills and work habits:
 * __ Learning Skills and Work Habits: __**


 * Responsibility
 * Organization
 * Independent Work
 * Collaboration
 * Initiative
 * Self-Regulation

For each skill, students will receive a rating of “Excellent”, “Good”, “Satisfactory”, or “Needs Improvement”. This will be reported on a student’s report card.


 * __ Student Expectations: __**
 * 1. Students are responsible for their behaviour in the classroom and the school and for providing evidence of their achievement of the overall expectations of the curriculum. **
 * 2. Homework will be assigned on a daily basis. If you have a problem with homework, you are expected to get extra help before the next class. **
 * 3. In order to ensure equity for all students, assignments for evaluation and tests or exams are to be completed, whenever possible, under the supervision of a teacher. **
 * 4. Students are expected to complete all Assessment for/as/of learning for the day noted by the teacher. All math problems are to be answered using proper format, neat and legible. Assignments are always due at the beginning of the period on the due date. Late assignments will not normally be accepted after the assignment has been taken up or handed back. Failure to make arrangements concerning missed assignments will result in a mark of zero. It is the responsibility of the student to catch up on any work they might have missed. **
 * 5. Assessment of learning will be given on a regular basis. If absent on an assessment day, the assessment will be written the first day back unless prior arrangements have been made. Failure to check with the teacher will result in a mark of zero. **
 * 6. Organized notebooks are the key to success! Each lesson should be neatly dated, numbered and include a **
 * record of that day’s homework. **
 * 7. It is the student’s responsibility to seek extra help when needed - it is always available upon request. Don’t forget that keeping up is easier than catching up! **

Plagiarism is a very serious offence. Any work that the student submits as an evaluation must be his or her original work. Students who are caught plagiarizing will receive a mark of zero, and further disciplinary action may be taken. Pencil, pen, eraser, ruler, scientific calculator, lined or grid paper, three-ring binder. Parent(s) and/or guardian(s) may contact the school at (416) 394-7570 at any time to find out how students are progressing in their classes.
