1. Do you have a pen, pencil, eraser, I
can borrow?
A friend of mine
got engaged to a
pencil.
He was really
excited to
introduce his
friends to his
bride 2B

2. The notes seem very blank…
where is the information?
• I put a lot of information below the
notes. Please make sure you either
view the PDFs of the notes or
download the PowerPoints so you
are getting the full picture
• This may seem counter-
intuitive..why not just put all the
information on the PowerPoints?
• Less cluttered slides with the
same information still being
available down below.
If anyone knows
a good fish
pun…
Let minnow

3. When is test/assignment/activity
happening or due?
If tomorrow is
not the due date
then today is
not the “do”
date

4. What if I need an extension?
Sheridan’s policy requires advance notice (at least 3 days prior
in writing via Sheridan Email) for missed assessments, barring
extraordinary circumstances. If you need extra time then
1. Send me an email at least 3 days prior to the due date so I
can confirm your extension
• Note that I can only provide 1 week extension at
maximum as I return marked assessments the following
week
If you would like additional time due to accommodations:
1. Email me, prior to the due date, when you would like to
submit the assignment
• Note that I can only provide 1 week extension at
maximum as I return marked assessments the following
week
• If you email me after the due date then I cannot provide
an extension without a late penalty
I had a job
crushing
cans.
It was soda
pressing.

5. Please note that travel plans, traffic/public
transit issues, employment reasons, airline
flights, other assignments due at the same time,
printer reasons, etc… are not sufficient reasons
to miss an assessment.
Please refer to:

What if I miss a test/quiz/activity?

6. If you miss a test/quiz/activity due to
medical reasons
1. Notify me of the illness within 24 hours
of the test/due date
2. Send me supporting documentation as
to why you were unable to make the
test date (e.g. doctor’s note explaining
why you were unable to write)
3. Send me the completed assessment
form, pictured in this slide, with your
student name, student number filled in
Please note that headache, common cold,
upset stomach, allergies, etc… are
generally not sufficient reason(s) for
missing an assessment.
What if I miss a test/quiz/activity? (cont)

7. What if I want to write my test in the
assessment centre?
This is absolutely fine!
1. Book the test at the same time as we
are writing the test in class (you need
approval for other times)
2. Return to me the completed
assessment form at least 1 week prior
to the test write date
3. SLATE calendar will indicate when the
forms are due for ALS
Why did the
banana go to the
doctor?
It wasn’t peeling
well

8. Where do I hand in my
assignment/activity late?
• Email me the pdf, using
official Sheridan email, of the
assignment, please do not
send me a group of images.
• If the pdf is not readable then
I might not be able to mark
your assessment and further
late penalties will apply.
What kind of
shorts do clouds
wear?
Thunderwear

9. What is the late penalty for
submissions?
• Assignments are
subject to a 10%
penalty for each day
late.
• If you submit your
assignment more than
3 days after the due
date you will receive a
grade of zero
I find you to be
quite ribbiting

10. What happens if I score 40% on the
midterm?
• The final exam is worth slightly more
than the midterm and it’s a weighted
average so it makes the math a little
trickier.
• A good rule of thumb though is if you
scored 40% on the midterm you
would need roughly 60% on the final
to pass (the reality is you would need
slightly less than 60% but it’s a good
baseline to work with)
I didn’t think
Orthopedic
shoes would
work for me.
I stand corrected.

11. You don’t round our grades? Why
not? What if I have 79.99%?
Donut give up

12. Can’t you just give me an extra
mark on my midterm/final/quiz?
I saw a kid napping
but decided not to
wake him up

13. Do I need to know all the
acronyms?
• I don’t ask about acronyms (so
I won’t ask you what FTP
stands for).
• I will ask you why FTP is
important however.
What job did the frog
have at the hotel?
Bell hop!

14. There is a lot of theory do you have
any suggestions?
• I try to make sure I tell you what to know for all of the
assessments beforehand (I’ll stress important details in class)
• I also will post the layout of the assessment in advance (how
many multiple choice, matching, short answer, etc…)
• My best advice is to make sure you’re in class and
participating. This course can get dry at times (there is a lot of
theory!) but there is a lot of really cool ideas we will discuss.
• You can theoretically learn all of this material on your own but
coming to class gives you the opportunity to see all of the
material “for free” one time. You have to go through it one less
time.

15. I received an error “no external
permission”. Did you receive my email?

16. What is your policy on Academic
Integrity?
