Final examination is worth 30% of final mark and is based on the entire semester’s work!

Term work (70%) + Exam (30%) = 100%

Course outline (Units):

Skeletal and Muscular System Unit 25% Circulatory and Respiratory System Unit 25% Digestive System and Nutrition Unit 25% Integumentary System Unit 15% Human Genetics 10%

Extra help – All students at some time will require extra help.

*Please speak with Mr. Halley to schedule an appointment whenever you are experiencing difficulties.

Work handed in is due at the beginning of class. Extensions are to be discussed prior to the day work is due.

Tests – If a student has an excused absence on the day of a test, they will write it during class upon return.
