Global Studies

• Homework Expectations

2
Know when assignments are due!

• Check the side whiteboard every day before class
  begins and update your agenda.
• Assignments sometimes dont get posted to
  Infinite Campus until later, so always keep a
  record of whats due and when.

3
Type your homework!

• Handwritten work is only for when you CANT type
  it, not for when you dont feel like it and just
  want to do it quickly!
• Handwritten work must be neatly done. If you find
  yourself crossing out stuff and writing over it,
  you need to rewrite. Do a second draft!

4
Type your homework!

• When you type, double-space!
• If you cant print it, email it.
• Attach a Word document to the email and send it
  to my email address, not yours!
• jwright_at_fairfieldschools.org
• If you have to write it out, leave margins on
  both edges of the paper dont fill up the whole
  sheet leave room for teachers comments!

5
Spend time on your work!

• Dont expect good grades if you just dash off
  quick answers to homework assignments.
• You need to spend time thinking before you write
  anything.
• Explain your answers.
• Give appropriate details, and dont just write
  the shortest thing you think you can get away
  with.

6
Spend time on your work!

• Read the assignment carefully before you try
  answering the questions.
• Refer to information from the reading, but dont
  copy word-for-word!
• Always write in complete in sentences.
• Proofread your work and ask yourself if someone
  else could understand what your said.
• And dont forget NEATNESS COUNTS!

7
Turn in work on time!

• Half credit the next day.
• Zero anytime after that!

Unless there is a legitimate excuse
8
Keep you graded homework, quizzes tests in your
binder!

• Old homework is something to study from when you
  have tests.
• Test questions often come from homework
  assignments, so keep the graded assignments that
  are returned to you and study from them at test
  times.
• Many of those test questions also appear on the
  Midterm and Final Exams.

9
Keep packets and handouts in a special binder
just for this class.

• You will get a number of packets that supplement
  classwork and the textbook.
• Most of them will be for homework or test review,
  and many will be readings to supplement the
  textbook.
• Keep all of these handouts in a special binder
  just for this class.
• Dont throw them out or lose them.
• Youll need them to study for exams!
