Registration for Quarter 3 courses (February to April) will begin Wednesday,
January 4th. You will be able register via the South Hill website as usual.
In order to register, you need a recommendation from me. On Friday,
I will give you an interim recommendation for which English class you should
register for in Quarter 3. I will put your recommendation into a spreadsheet
for the advisors.
Interim- midterm, halfway point in the term
The interim recommendation will be based on the quizzes and tests you
have done so far this term. Also, I will give you a spoken mark out of 10 based
on how much speaking you do in class. Plus there are a few points for
submitting HW.
REMINDER:
Quizzes are worth about 25-30% of your mark.
Tests are worth approximately 50-60% of your mark.
Spoken is worth approximately 10-15% of your mark.
OPTIONS- Stay or move up
EF6- EF6 OR Lit10/Comp10/EF7 level
EF7- EF7 OR Eng 11
The South Hill English department strongly recommends that
students who are marginally passing (50-60%) not advance to the next level.
Therefore, the minimum average required to receive a
recommendation for early registration for the next level is 60%. This is to allow
stronger students first shot at registering. This is also to dissuade students
who are not ready from registering in a class that may be too high for them.
We want the strongest students to have an opportunity to register
first.
If you’re below, you will have wait a while to register for
Summer.
NOTE: 60% is the reasonable cutoff point for early registration
starting tomorrow.
However, the final passmark for courses in BC is 50%. That is your
final mark on the last day.
You can move up to the next level with 50%, but I don’t think that
is strong enough. You have to get better at your English.
IMPORTANT: The minimum average for a recommendation
to register early for the next level starting tomorrow is 60%.
The final
passmark is 50%.
We have four weeks left in our course. You can change your mark
significantly depending on the quizzes and tests yet to come. We have about 3 quizzes
and 3-4 tests yet to come this term. Also, we will likely have an essay. Plus
the in-class spoken mark and the HW pts.
You can bring your mark up.
Also, you can bring your mark down.
This is the halfway point.
You will have an opportunity to replace one of your quiz marks in
the final week of the course. You will have an opportunity to replace one of
your test marks in final week of the course.
How to figure out your mark so far:
Quiz 1 x/6
Quiz 2 x/6
LATER THIS WEEK Quiz
3 x/6
Test 1 x/6 X2 = x/12 e.g. 4/6=8/12
Test 2 x/12
Test 3 x/12
TOMORROW Test4 X12
Spoken 1* x/10
*Based on your
demonstrated ability to use English in a discursive manner.
HW pts 1-2
SCENARIO #1
72%
60%+ = OK for the
next level
SCENARIO #2
55%
60%- = this is
good level to work at, stay
SCENARIO #3
37%
Suggets some challenges
that must be overcome.
You can figure
out roughly your own average right now, except for spoken.
Add up your quizzes and tests. Guess at your spoken mark. Add 1-2
pts if you have been emailing your homework.
