The following Evaluation Policies appear in the Applied and Level Three Working Group Policies Final Document February 20, 2004

Policy 4: All exams should be worth no more than 40% of the course mark. This exam format will mirror policy 6 of this document and not more than 30% of the exam content may be dedicated to memory-based testing. Many Level 3 and Applied students may not be writing the exam due to the exemption policy.

Policy 5: Exam exemption policy for Applied and Level Three students.

1. Each student will start with zero points (like demerit points) and an exemption in each Level 3 course.
2. If a student accumulates more than 15 points over the course of the semester, the exemption in that course is lost.
3. In order to maintain an exemption, each student will be assessed in the areas of behavior, attendance, and academic performance. Points can be accumulated to a maximum of 15 in total.
4. Points will be accumulated as follows:
   1. Attendance - one point for each day absent and one point for every two tardies.
   2. Behavior - at teachers' discretion demerits can be handed out for misbehavior. If a student is sent to an administrator, the administrator will use his/her discretion to assign demerit points.
   3. Academic
      • 90-100 0 pts
      • 84-89 1 pt
      • 79-83 2 pts
      • 74-78 3 pts
      • 70-73 4 pts
      • 65-69 5 pts
      • 60-64 6 pts
5. A student must have a passing grade to keep an exemption.

Policy 6: Each department shall create a plan of evaluation for each course that reflects a school wide policy of not more than 30% of a semester mark may be dedicated to memory-based testing.

Please remember that students with modified curricula can be exempted from exams. They will however need to write a modified (reduced and simplified course content) exam if they are failing your course. All courses with modified curricula (SEP) must use comment code 01. Individualized curricula (SEP) must use comment code V.
