AP EUROPEAN HISTORY
SYLLABUS
Course Description:
In accordance with AP College Board’s European History, this course is a study of
European history from 1450 that introduces students to cultural, economic, political, and
social developments which played an instrumental role in shaping the world in which we
live. Without this knowledge, we could lack the context for understanding the
development of contemporary institutions, the role of continuity and change in present
day society and politics and the evolution of current forms of artistic expression and
intellectual discourse.
Course Objectives:
The objective of AP European History is not only teaching students a basic narrative of
events, but to also develop (1) an understanding of some of the principle themes in
modern European history, (2) an ability to analyze historical evidence and historical
interpretation, and (3) an ability to express historical understanding in writing.
Course Evaluation and Requirements:
AP European History is a course that is based upon class discussion. There will be
numerous unannounced quizzes as well as unit exams. It is necessary for students to
stay on pace with class themes/topics. The quizzes and unit assessment are formatted
after AP Exam.
In order to ensure success, students must:
 remain up to date on all readings as well as homework and assignments.
 master a high level of analytical thinking and writing.
 use and master effective time-management as well as process and study
skills.
Attendance
Attendance will be taken promptly when the bell rings, if you are not in your seat
and silent you will be counted tardy or absent.
Tardy Policy:
 Each tardy = 15 minute detention
 7 unserved tardies = 1 day ISS
 If a student accumulates 21 tardies or more, they will be placed
on the NO PASS LIST and will not be permitted to leave a
classroom during instructional time without an adult escort.
 Subsequent tardies will result in additional ISS or Out of School
Suspension.
Four Guiding Ideas:

consequences.
