Course Evaluation

How to Courses Evaluated?

For Grades 9 to 12, a final grade (percentage mark) is recorded for every course. The final grade will be determined as follows:

During course evaluation

70% of the grade will be based on evaluation conducted throughout the course. This portion of the grade should reflect the student’s most consistent level of achievement throughout the course, although special consideration should be given to more recent evidence of achievement.

Final evaluation

30% of the grade will be based on a final evaluation administered at or towards the end of the course. This evaluation will be based on evidence from one or a combination of the following: an examination, a performance, an essay, and/or another method of evaluation suitable to the course content. The final evaluation allows the student an opportunity to demonstrate comprehensive achievement of the overall expectations for the course.

Our certified teachers must grade each assignment, quiz, test and final examination based on a provincial achievement chart. The achievement chart shows 4 levels, and each level corresponds to the percentages as shown above. Below is an example of an achievement chart for English, Grades 9-12. Each course has different achievement charts. To find out more about each of them, visit Ontario’s Curriculum and Resources website.
