Student evaluation
Students will be notified, in writing, during the first week of every course, of the method to be used to determine both mid-term and final marks. Term work will make up 70% of the student’s mark. This may include tests, projects, activities, presentations, assignments, etc
Examinations/Final Evaluations
- A common examination/evaluation approved by the Principal will be administered in each subject.
- This final evaluation will be 30% of the student’s mark and will cover the semester’s work.
EQUIVALENT CREDITS
Students who transfer to ASU from another school are granted equivalent credits based on:
- The Principal’s evaluation of previous academic reports
- Placement tests
- Age
Transfer credits are recorded on the transcripts as “Equivalent Credits” for the course title and “EQV” as the percentage earned.
HOMEWORK
Homework assignments are used to reinforce new concepts and skills and to help build desirable work and study habits. The amount of time that students spend doing homework will vary somewhat from day to day, with the ability and diligence of the individual learner and a student’s programme and grade level. We ask that parents give support and encouragement for their child in developing good work and study habits by:
- Talking with your child about what s/he is learning
- Establishing a specific nightly homework period
- Providing a quiet place to study
- Being available to answer questions
