Assessment Criteria and Marking System

Mode of Assessment

The assessment will be continuous and integrated. It will take place throughout the course and each assessed component will contribute to the overall grade. When a tutor asks a trainee to redo an assignment it is because the assignment is below standard, that is, it is not a pass. Re-submission of unsatisfactory assignments (Below Standard) for re-grading is at the discretion of the tutor and the Director of Studies. See make-up policy for each program.

Access to Course Material

Access to material is provided as the student progresses through the course. In the event that the student does not complete the course, OnTESOL is not required to provide materials or access to modules the student did not reach. This includes access to specialist courses if the prerequisite TESOL course is not completed.

  • Utter scurrilous, profane, or obscene language;
  • Make remarks or engage in conduct that is racist, sexist, or in other ways discriminatory as defined by the Ontario Human Rights Code;
  • Engage in behaviors or make remarks that could reasonably be interpreted as threatening;
  • Encourage, by inaction or innuendo, the development of a learning environment that is fractious, disrespectful of others, or inconsistent with the student code of conduct.

C. Conduct related to academic performance: students will take responsibility for their own academic achievement. Student will demonstrate their commitment to their own goal of educational advancement by completing the assigned work, and complying with copyright legislation, as outlined below:

  • Students should complete assignments, projects, and other activities set by the course for the evaluation, on time. If a student is unable to complete the work in the designated time, he should discuss this matter with the tutor in advance of the deadline date.

D. Relationship with tutors and staff: Students may request input from additional OnTESOL staff in cases of instructional uncertainty. Students have the right to a learning environment free of harassment and discrimination. Students may appeal grading or instructional concerns to the Director of Studies.

A. Integrity of student work: Zero Tolerance Policy on Plagiarism and Cheating

OnTESOL has a zero tolerance policy on plagiarism and cheating. Students must submit assignment that is their own original creation. Any external resources and materials used to support the development of assignments must be cited.  

To ensure integrity of student work, OnTESOL tutors and staff check assignments for plagiarism and cheating through Plagiarism Checker.

  • Plagiarism: The use of unauthorized sources in student assignments is prohibited, including but not limited to referring to other OnTESOL students’ work, using external tutor support or opinion with assignments from someone who is not the assigned tutor or authorized staff at OnTESOL, and using copyright material from any other person, website, publication, or AI source without citation. Plagiarism is an offense and will result in a failing grade for the assignment and failing the course.
  • Cheating: Cheating includes but is not necessarily limited to: Collaboration in the preparation of an assignment. Since our online courses are self-study, collaboration will be viewed by Coventry House International-Ontesol as cheating. Trainees who copy their work from another OnTESOL student will be expelled from the course.
