Mr. Moldowan's Law 12 Class

 

Law 12 is an optional course in the social studies department.  It is an academic course with written assignments, presentations, tests and a final exam.  There is no provincial exam for this course. 

Supplies:  There is a textbook provided however it is an older book so the course is supplemented with additional current material provided by the teacher.  Students are expected to bring a notebook and a writing utensil to each class.  Students with their own portable computer may use that in class for taking notes.  Access to the internet at home is very beneficial for students.

Course Summary:
 

Teacher Contact:  Mr. Moldowan can best be reached by email at mmoldowan@sd62.bc.ca Please do not leave phone messages at school as it is difficult for me to retrieve them.

Absences:  Most assignments and activities will be posted below as they occur.  Students who miss classes are responsible for catching up on their work.  Students who miss tests and quizes must make arrangements to write them during lunch or after school in Mr. Moldowan's room.
