Engaging in society! In this course, you’ll explore what it means to be a citizen of your community, your province, and your country. You’ll also consider a variety of perspectives as you explore the impact of globalization on identity, lands, cultures, economies, human rights, and quality of life. This is the first course in the stream for students with an interest in and aptitude for Social Studies. The course includes several timed, Proctorio-supervised assessments, including a final exam. These require a working webcam, a microphone, and a clear desk or table. Students are not allowed to write supervised assessments on a bed.
While built-in cameras are acceptable, using an external webcam is highly recommended; it provides a better field of view, which significantly reduces the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity. These can typically be purchased affordably online.
