COURSE TITLE: EP-M4 Foundation Mathematics 2 (MA30102)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Students and guardians should know that this course seeks to follow the Thai Curriculum,

covering much of the M4 Mathematics material, in order to build a strong foundation for the

university entrance exam.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

We seek to provide our students with the mathematical skills they will need to compete within

ASEAN and in the wider global market. Thus, although the topics of this course are drawn from

the Thai national curriculum, the students will be presented with many practice questions

originating from past UK and USA examination papers.

By the end of this course, you will have practiced the skills to successfully answer questions on:

Relations: Ordered Pairs, Graphs, Domains & Ranges, Inverses

Functions: Identifying Functions, Algebra of Functions, Composites & Inverses

Trigonometric Ratios: Basic Ratios, Problem Solving

In keeping with our goal to give our students the mathematical skills they need to compete

internationally, ICT (Information and Computing technology) will be incorporated into our

mathematics classroom. Tablet applications, animations, and desktop graphing software will be

used to deepen understanding and allow exploration of ideas.

HOW TO GET A TOP GRADE:

Students and their guardians should read the following two sections entitled Student Behaviour

and Grading Policy, to ensure that they get a top grade.

These two sections present the rubrics that will be used to judge the attainment of each student,

to ensure fairness and transparency.

Students who are attentive in class, and diligently answer all the questions on this course, will

accumulate the marks to get a high grade.

STUDENT BEHAVIOUR

Student behaviour is important for two reasons.

1. Good behaviour is associated with attentive students who develop skills, therefore

this is what is expected from all students in our classroom. In contrast, students who

are disruptive and inattentive don’t normally develop their skills to an international

level.

2. Ten percent of this course’s grade is based on behaviour, following school policy.

This policy is meant to encourage students to be attentive and good learners.

The behaviour of students will be assessed in a way that is transparent to the students and their

guardians. Each student is given a copy of the following rubric which clearly shows behaviours

that students should try to avoid. The rubric is designed to encourage students to be prepared to

learn and actively participate in learning.

Please note:

1. Copying other student’s work is a part of this rubric, since students who copy typically

do not perform well on our summative exams.

2. Phones are not to be used in our mathematics class.

Experience shows that phones distract students from active participation in learning.

Students who exhibit these undesirable behaviours will

a) Receive an initial, polite, cheerful warning,

b) Receive a quarter point deduction from the behavioural component of their

grade, if they continue with the behaviour. This deduction is small and fair.

GRADING POLICY:

The emphasis of our mathematics class will be about developing mathematical skills and

mathematical knowledge. The course will therefore be graded in a way that records the

achievements of our students in these areas.

To help student and their guardian know exactly what is required to get a top grade in this

course, all students will be issued with the following rubric.

This rubric seeks to encourage the students to practice and develop their mathematical skills and

knowledge. It puts the emphasis on recording their steps, giving reasons, and using standard

notations; in general we want to encourage students to present their thoughts on paper clearly in

a standard way.

Due dates

Students will be given one week’s notice of due dates; the days will be clearly displayed on their

classroom whiteboard.

Late work

Students and their guardians should note that work handed in late, without reason, will be

deducted according to the number of days late and should not receive the credit as those

students were diligent being on time. This policy seeks to be fair to all students and is clearly

marked on the rubric that accompanies all works.

4 | P a g e

HOMEWORK POLICY:

Each of our lessons will have an accompanying mathematics activity sheet. The activity sheet

will typically contain more questions than can be answered during our 50 minute study periods.

Therefore, each student will need to work diligently and responsibly to complete their work at

home.

Guardians should know that students will have three activities sheets per week to complete at

home. Their children should spend from one to two hours per week at home completing these

sheets and reviewing their content.

The due dates will be announced one week in advance, as detailed in the section entitled Grading

Policy.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

On the first day of the course, each student is given a folder to organize their activity sheets.

They need to bring the folder to every lesson. The same pens, pencils and rulers that are required

for other subjects, are also required for mathematics.

Each lesson our students will receive a new activity sheet or be asked to take their own notes.

Calculators

Calculators are not allowed in class. This is because the policy of the school is not to allow their

use at examination time; therefore, it is better that our students practice without them.

Chemistry can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the

following:

1. Read, read, read the textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not enough even

for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to

understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school (typically

only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the material

and gain the most from the course.



3. Get a Thai language introductory Chemistry book.

4. Get a Chemistry tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing the work for

you!


This is how you learn!



We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the

chapter and see the teacher for the answers.

Physics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the

following:

1. Read, read, read the Holt Physics textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not

enough even for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple

times to understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school

(typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the

material and gain the most from the course.

SC30101 Foundation Physics

Course Description

This introductory course to physics focuses on classical mechanics. Foundation Physics

opens with a review of the science of physics, examining the necessity of units in

measurements and covering common physics vocabulary terms. Subsequently, motion is

studied in one and then two dimensions. After the fundamentals of motion are laid, vector

addition and projectile motion are covered. The course offers both a conceptual foundation

and an algebra-based presentation of physics. As with many courses within EP, critical

thinking skills are emphasized over those of rote learning. The course will closely follow the

order and content of the latest version of the American high school textbook, Holt Physics.

The course is prerequisite to SC30201 Physics 1.

Foundation English 2

Course description: EP-M4 Foundation English will continue to explore the skill groups of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Through a series of engaging and enriching lessons, using the selected course books and a myriad of additional materials, students will continue to strengthen their core knowledge of English. Course Objectives: The primary objective is to strengthen your already existing skills of English. We will be focused intensively on speaking, writing, critical thinking, and inter-personal communication. Small and large group discussions and individual presentations are a part of active learning. In-class research essays, vocabulary, grammar, participation, quizzes, tests, and projects make up the majority of your grade. By the end of this year, you will:

- Demonstrate and strengthen your ability to write formal essays/research papers. - Stronger speaking skills and comprehension, in addition to pronunciation and

articulation. - Fundamental grammar used in Business Writing - Strengthen your note-taking skills. - Compare/contrast/synthesize and analyze information. - Exercise critical thinking and communication skills in the formal and informal

settings.

Each day, you need to bring in the following:

Blue or Black ink pens Pencils. Thumb drive (2) Notebooks for note-taking.

Paperback English dictionary and/or thesaurus

Cutting Edge Student Book and Workbook

COURSE POLICIES: Course policies are rules and guidelines our class follows, in addition to those established by Assumption College (All Assumption College’s rules and

expectations are enforced in Mr. Daniel’s classroom). These policies are consistently

enforced throughout the school year and are reviewed at the beginning of each quarter. Each student is expected to know, understand, and follow these policies

I. ATTENDANCE: Prompt daily attendance is expected. All students must be seated

in the classroom and prepared to learn at the start of class. Each tardy will cost you academic points and negatively influence your grade. Additionally, if a

student is known in advance of his up-coming absences, it is his responsibility to inform Mr. Daniel (before his planned absences), and he would need to be arranged for make-up or alternative works. Also, your classmate could help you, to collect materials and information if you are absent.

II. CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR: You are a member of a community of learners. For

any community to thrive, certain concepts must be embraced. In our

community, I expect the following general behavior for all students.

III. RESPECT: All students will need to respect themselves, their community

members, and their learning environment. There is NO TALKING when Mr. Daniel instructs you! Points will be deducted for each disobedient act. YOU ARE NOT TO WORK ON ANY OTHER CLASS WORK IN MR. DANIEL’S CLASS (OTHERWISE IT WILL BE TAKEN BY MR.DANIEL!)

READINESS: All students must be prepared and ready for each lesson.

Distracting items are “not” allowed in the classroom (i.e. headwear, coats,

backpacks, food, beverages, chains, electronic devices, pictures, notes, yearbooks, magazines, and catalogs).

PARTICIPATION: All students are expected to actively participate in daily

activities. In addition, you are responsible for your academic progress and communication with Mr. Daniel regarding academic problems or struggles.

RESPONSIBILITY: All students must accept responsibility for themselves and

their actions. Inappropriate languages are not allowed in class—no swearing or

offensive remarks. CHEATING, COPYING, AND PLAGIARISM:

Cheating, copying, and plagiarism are serious acts of academic dishonesty that are not to be tolerated. All team teachers, family members of students involved and, the

program coordinator will be informed of such behavior.

Students who cheated would receive a zero for the assignment or exam. Students involved in copying of work would also receive a zero for the assignment or exam.

Students who plagiarize receive a failing grade for the quarter. Plagiarism is the use of another’s ideas or expression without appropriate acknowledgement of the

source. Examples of plagiarism include failure to give appropriate acknowledgement

when repeating another’s phrase, sentence or paragraph; failure to give appropriate

acknowledgement when paraphrasing another’s thesis or argument; failure to give

appropriate acknowledgement when presenting another’s line of thinking; or turning in

a paper for a current course that was written for another course.

Plagiarism, like cheating and copying, results in serious consequences. Opportunities for extra credit related to course content may arise throughout the year. Additionally, students choosing to drop their lowest score of the quarter are not allowed any extra credit points.

HOMEWORK: All homework assignments must be completed and turned in on the due date. Unless otherwise noted, assignments are collected at the beginning of the class period. ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE ACCEPTED WITH 25% POINTS DEDUCTED ON THE

NEXT DAY AND NO LATER. Students receive reading packets with excerpts from a variety of sources, as well as from primary source documents. Course content has been

put together through a variety of sources and is regularly updated (as new and reliable information is made available). Reading packets made available to students may be done so in class-sets. Therefore, it is necessary that students use the reading time given in class effectively. Grading Foundation English follows to the Assumption College grading scale:

EP-M4 Health and Physical Education 2 (HP30102)

Course Description

The Health Education Course is designed to enhance awareness and knowledge of healthy

lifestyle choices. The course incorporates a dual curriculum of both health and physical

education in a two pronged approach. Students will engage in both health studies and

physical education activities. The focus for semester II weighs heavily on Physical Education

and less on in-class health studies – as we recognize student’s needs for more physical

activities. In this day and age, teenagers are prone to ‘stay home’ sedentary lifestyles; which

significantly impinges upon their physical fitness and overall health. Henceforth, we want to

foster and promote a Physical Education centered environment as much as possible.
