11 Course Outline Mr. Korbutt


[email protected]

INTRODUCTION:

The curriculum of Biology 11 covers a wide range of topics in biology.
This is a fast-paced, academic course that is very vocab rich. Over the
next five months you will be learning the language of biology! You can
expect to do approximately 30 to 60 minutes of homework for each
class. This would include reviewing class notes, reading, taking notes
and answering questions from the text, worksheets, labs, projects and
practice test questions.

EVALUATION:
Course Work (Tests, Quizzes, Assignments, Projects & Labs = 80%
Final Exam = 20%

G, S OR N WORK HABITS:
This will be assessed based on your preparation, attendance, assignment
completion (on time), effort on class work, participation in class, tardiness,
and behaviour in class. “Good”, “Satisfactory” or “Needs Improvement”
will be assigned.

INCOMPLETE COURSE WORK:
ANY incomplete course work (ie. Not Handed In or NHI) will result in
an ‘I’ being assigned for the course. This emphasizes the importance of
completing ALL course work. If you have an outstanding test, lab or
project at the time of an interim or report card, you will NOT be given a
percentage grade, just an “I” so that your parents know that the course
is Incomplete.

MATERIALS:

- 3 ringed binder with lined paper - pencil crayons - dividers
- blank paper for lab drawings - ruler
