Objective:
The purpose of this course is to provide
college-level instruction in United States History. This course will
include extensive readings, college-style lectures, analysis of primary
sources, and essay writing. The ultimate goal is for each student
to successfully complete the AP American History Exam.
Evaluation:
1. Objective tests
2. Essay tests
3. Projects
4. Maps, chapter quizzes, and other
daily grades (Each daily grade counts as 20% of a test grade.)
Extra Credit will not be assigned to improve a grade. However, student improvement may be counted as extra credit. For example, if you earn a low grade on one test, but make a much higher grade on the other tests the improvement can be used as evidence of improvement.
Make-up work must be completed within three days, unless other arrangements are made with the instructor. Exams require an hour and a half, so always be present on exam day!
Rules:
1. Be punctual.
2. Respect the rights of others.
3. Be honest.
4. Be prepared; bring your textbook
to class each day.
5. Keep the room clean.
6. Each time you are off task you
will receive a “0” for a daily grade. One of the zeroes may be worked
off.
7. Quid pro quo
