Thirty percent (30%) of your final mark is based on your culminating assignment. Thus, it is very important to do your best effort to maximize your mark on this. Take a good look at the exemplars I have shown in class to get a solid idea of the type of work you should be producing.

Mr. Ferguson will bring in exemplars to give you an idea of previous student work for this culminating project. Feel free to ask to view them any time. Additionally, there is a checklist that will help you keep track of everything required.
The library has two excellent resources for this project, particularly useful for any student who has lost the privilege of using the school computers.
