Expectations
This course requires dedication, organization, and consistent effort. Students are
expected to stay focused, work hard, and submit all assignments on time. If students
have questions, please see me in person or contact me by email.
Class time should be used productively. Activities and discussions are designed to
deepen students’ understanding and strengthen their ability to communicate ideas
effectively. It is essential that students arrive prepared, with all required materials,
having completed assigned tasks, and ready to engage fully. A positive, energetic, and
open-minded attitude is vital. Many tasks will involve group collaboration, so students
must be able to contribute effectively both as part of a team and as an individual.
All assessments are criterion-based, and late submissions will be handled in accordance
with the Branksome Hall MYP policy.
