3. This course is intended to help you look deeper at your lives after
school. Whether this includes going to school after you graduate
(post secondary) or entering the workforce, your future is your own.
In order to get to where you want to be in life, you need to have a
plan on how you will get there. Over the semester, you will learn
about and start to do just that.
Additionally, when making a plan for yourself, you should consider
what you want for your future. Maybe you have an idea of what that
is already, maybe you don’t have a clue yet. A big part of this
course is for you to learn about yourself. This will help you plan a
future that makes you happy.
Course Description:

memory of what you learned in Careers (GLC2O) and give you an
idea of what we will be covering throughout the semester.
Units of Study:
• Unit 2: My Profile – This unit will focus on YOU. In this unit you will do a

6. Academic Honesty:
Plagiarism is the practice of copying the work of others and submitting it as
your own and will not be tolerated in this class.
Plagiarism can include, copying homework/classwork/tests and essays of
other students in the class, or copying other sources in your work without
referencing them. An example of this would be copying a quote from an
essay/video/website or any other source and not making proper notation of
where this came from or who said it. Without references, you are taking
credit for someone else’s work.
Any student found to be plagiarizing will receive zero on their assignment
and after a meeting with me, may be given an opportunity to write a make-
up assignment.
