Readings and Quizzes
• You must take notes as
you read to properly
prepare you for daily 10
minute quizzes.
• Quizzes may be miniessays, graphic
organizers or multiple
choice questions and
are heavily weighted.
In order to achieve college credit in
most universities, a minimum score
of 3 on the AP Exam is required.
I will go over the details as the class
unfolds. It is important, however, to
begin by establishing good habits.
Organization is the key to success

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
Expectations
• Out of respect for your fellow students, be on
time to avoid disrupting the lesson
• Address the speech, not the speaker
(“I disagree with what was said because…”)
• I love it when you have something to say, but
please raise your hand if you have something to
contribute. Speaking in turn will ensure that
everyone is heard clearly.
• Please hand assignments in on time. You will lose
5 points for every period missed
Expectations
• Stay organized! Copy the lesson’s objective,
the question of the day (Q.O.D.), and
homework assignments at the beginning of
class everyday.
• Be in your seat and prepared (with all
necessary tools) for class before the bell rings.
• Only utilize cell phones/electronic devices
when I say its ok!!!!!
Grading
Grading
• 50% Tests, Quizzes (daily) and Essays
• 30% Homework (short term assignments and
long-term projects)
• 20 % Classwork (work included in class and
participation)
There is no such thing as good writing, only good
re-writing. Therefore, you have 24 hours to read
my comments, re-write, and re-submit your
essays for an improved grade.
I see procrastination as an indication that you are not organized or prioritizing
your studies. Please do not expect sympathy for bad study habits. See me if
you need time-management tips. Speaking of which, your summer reading is
due today!!!!!!

3… the magic number
•
For Tuesday’s quiz (they are daily) read your syllabus and identify three ways (with examples)
of how the course is broken down.
•
Start with the thesis
:
• “The world history advanced placement course is broken
down into chronological developments, thematic overviews
and regionally through 9 polycentric regions”.
