LEARNING SKILLS ASSESSMENT
Regular attendance and participation in the classroom and the co-op placement are critical to your success. Time/log sheets and monthly journals are due whenever you attend the In-School (IS) days. It is your responsibility to know when any assignments are due. It is also important that you hand in your own work. Work that you copy from the internet or your friends is not considered your own and is plagiarized. See the co-op calendar attached for the dates of In-School days.
Cooperation, teamwork and a positive attitude are also important to achieving success. One form of communication by your co-op teachers is through email. Please make sure you check your email regularly and/or check-in with us regularly and respond to our requests promptly. If you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to ask us. We will make ourselves available to help you.
