World History Syllabus 20132014
World History Syllabus
Class Objective: The course fulfills three educational goals emphasized by the State of Florida:
1) developing effective communication using a variety of written and oral assignments; 2)
developing critical thinking skills by teaching students to analyze and critique historical sources;
3) preparing students to lead productive, contributing lives by providing opportunities for
students to connect historical facts to current world issues.
Responsibilities: Students in World History class must attend class regularly, read assignments
before arriving in class, participate in class discussions, look at the school notes site daily,
respect others in class and pass examinations.
Grades: Each nine week grading period, the grades will be weighed the following way:
Project: There will be one project given each nine week period. The project will count
as 10 grades and will be based on the Units in the book we have covered for that
grading period. I will give you instructions and ample time to complete these projects.
Classwork: Classwork will be worth between 1-2 grades per assignment.
Homework: Every night a student will have homework in World History. Their
homework will be to read the sections that will be covered the following class. This is
part of being prepared for class and it is expected of every student. Additional
homework may include Key Terms and questions/activities that will enrich a student’s
knowledge of a chapter to prepare them for a chapter test. Homework is always due the
day of an exam unless otherwise noted.
Tests: Students will be given a chapter test after a chapter is complete. Each test will be
worth four (4) grades.
Make-up Assignments: All students will be responsible for obtaining their homework and
classwork assignments from the teacher and/or another student in the class. A student can
email me the day they are absent and I will gladly give them the assignment. My email is
[email protected]. From the day that World History class is missed, the student is
given three (3) days to make up an assignment. Being that there is block scheduling, that
means the student needs to come back to school and has one class to get the assignment and
the next day (even though I do not see them) they need to turn it into me. A student can turn
in work by sliding it under the door in the morning before school. Do not slide work under the
door after school hours since the janitor will see it on the floor and throw it away.
Repercussions for not following the advice on this syllabus:
As a student, it is your responsibility to make sure you have all homework, classwork, projects
and tests studied for and complete before entering my classroom and on the date that it is due.
If these guidelines are not followed, you risk failure of the class and will have to take the class
over again before you can graduate from High School!
