SYLLABUS cont.

• Late Work
• Every student is responsible for turning in work
  on time. Situations arise therefore, my late
  work policy is for one day late - 25 points
  deducted and two days late - 50 points deducted.

• Attendance/Make-up Work
• You WILL miss work when you are absent. For
  every day that is missed, you have that many days
  to make up the missing work. For example, if you
  are out on Tuesday, you return on Wednesday, you
  have until Thursday to complete the missing work.
  If you miss a test, you are responsible for
  setting an appointment with me to make up the
  test within a weeks time or receive a zero. You
  have the burden of the responsibility to get your
  make up work from me and to turn in the
  assignment within the allotted time frame.

SYLLABUS cont.

• Behavior
• I expect every student to be on his/her best
  behavior in class. We do not have the time to
  spend on immaturity and discipline issues. I
  will give one warning then write a referral. We
  have too much to cover in class to be sidetracked
  by inappropriate behavior. I have zero tolerance
  in my classroom. This is your job Attend class
  on time every day, pay attention, complete the
  assignments on time, and participate every day.

• Grading
• Daily Grades 35
• Major Grades 45
• Attitude/Participation 20

• Parental Communication
• I will need to be able to communicate with your
  parents - sometimes once a trimester, sometimes
  once a six weeks, and sometimes once a week.
  Please give me both a phone number and an email
  address in which I can contact your parents.
  Contact me any time you have any questions or
  concerns.

SYLLABUS cont.

• Assignments
• We will be working on various topics that make up
  the second part of World History. You will be
  doing most of the work while I will be lecturing
  some of the time. You will be keeping a daily
  journal which will be a Major Grade at the end
  of the six weeks. There will be smaller
  assignments that will add up to Daily
  Participation also at the end of the six weeks.
  There will be some group work and some individual
  work. If you have any questions about any
  assignment, please email me and I will respond as
  quickly as possible.
