AP European History Class Requirements, Teacher Expectations and Student Responsibilities Class: A.P. European History (HIST 131, HIST 142) Teacher: Lowell Z. Macy III Teacher's Planning Period: 5th Period Materials The following will be needed daily 1. the textbook (that’s why I give you one) 2. a notebook to keep notes and other materials 3. a supply of paper 4. a pen (black or blue, no red ink) and/or pencil Primary Text: Western Civilization, 6th ed.(2005) By Jackson Spielvogel Class Objectives This class will trace the developments of civilization over the last 5000 years. After reading the assigned materials, attending class, completing assignments and participating in class you will: a) gain a better understanding of important events in world history b) identify key figures, dates, and events in world history c) define and use historical terms in the proper context d) be able to effectively demonstrate advanced communication skills e) be able to compare significant cause and effect situations in terms of historical importance f) be able to critically analyze historical information g) develop a clearer perception of the evolution of social responsibility Grading Scale A – 100-93 B – 92-85 C – 84-76 D – 75-68 F – 67 & below Grades are on a point-based system. All points collected throughout the grading period will be divided by the total possible points to determine your grade. So, if you have totaled 668 points out of a possible 750, you would have an 89% (B). (668/750 = .890) I suggest that you keep a running total of your grades as I return them so you stay informed on your standing in this class. Dual Credit This class is offered as Dual Credit through Campbellsville University. This is a unique opportunity to gain college credit as you fulfill your high school requirements. This class offers the chance to gain 6 hours of college history credit while being enrolled in only one class. You can enroll in Hist 131 (to 1650) in the Fall semester and Hist 142 (from 1650) in the Spring. Students are by no means required to do this, but it presents and excellent opportunity to get a jump start on college requirements. Tests: Each test will consist of a combination of any of the following: multiple choice, matching, fill-inthe-blank, true and false, short answer, and essay questions. Tests will occur upon the completion of each chapter and will be announced 2 to 3 days in advance. Quizzes: Quizes may come from readings, lectures or a combination of both. Each quiz will consist of short answer, listing, or short essay questions. Quizzes will occur approximately every 5 to 6 days and may or may not be announced in advance. Assignments: Homework and classwork, assignments will consist of reading assignments, writing assignments, and review assignments. AP European History You are to complete all assignments and meet all due dates. Most assignments will be due the day after the date assigned. By meeting due dates, you will avoid any late penalties. A late assignment will be penalized 15 points for each day past the due date. Points penalized for late work will be taken off before the assignment is graded. For example, if a paper is worth 28 points and it is turned in 1 day late, 15 points will be subtracted before I grade the paper. *** I reserve the right to change this policy at any time ***. If late work becomes a problem, expect a higher penalty or the possibility that the late work may not be accepted *** Make-up Work: You are expected to arrange to turn in all missed assignments and take make-up tests at the first possible instance after your return to school in tutoring. All missed class assignments, projects and tests will be made up outside of class. (tests & typed quizzes in after-school tutoring) You have one week after returning to school to take your make-up tests or quizzes. After that, you will receive a zero on untaken tests. Make-up work will be accepted only in the event of an excused absence. Unexcused absences will result in a zero (0) for any and all assignments given that day. Missed oral quizzes will not be made up. The next quiz will count twice. Bonus work that is missed will not be made up. All homework and class work assignments will be designed to reinforce classroom instruction and will help you prepare for quizzes, tests, and further learning opportunities. Each assignment will be meaningful and relevant to our study of European History, and thusly I expect it to be finished on the due date. Semester Exams: The Mid-term and final exam may be cumulative, therefore it is highly suggested that you keep all of your notes and other materials for study aids. Book Review and Research Paper Each semester you will be required to complete a Book Review (2-4 pages) and a Research Paper (3-5 pages) based over subject matter covered in that class section. The papers will be in MLA format. More details will be given as after the class is under way. Conduct Be on time to class. The school policy on tardies will be strictly enforced (AE on the 4th tardy & each tardy thereafter). Be respectful to everyone in this classroom. All student handbook rules and procedures will be followed. Cheating There is absolutely no excuse for academic dishonesty in this classroom. Cheating, copying or whatever name you would like to call it by will not be tolerated. Remember: This is a college preparatory class. It is intended to be very challenging. Since we cover such an expansive period of history, there is no way for me to cover every topic thoroughly. There will be things that I will not have time to cover as well as I would like in class. That does not excuse you from covering it in your readings. If it is in an assignment, lecture, discussion, chapter readings, etc. It is fair game on the chapter test. You are responsible for your own education and success. I will strive to do my best each day; I ask the same from you. Keep this page of class expectations for future reference.
