World History / U.S. History:
These courses are cumulative; you will be expected to know all the material we have covered throughout the course each semester. Unit exams and weekly quizzes will reflect that expectation. Extra credit opportunities may occasionally be offered. Students should take advantage of these opportunities when presented. Individualized extra credit assignments will not be given at other times.
Homework Policy:
In general, late work will be accepted until the end of the unit, but will receive 50% of the score it would have earned had it been submitted on time. Essays and some other specific long term assignments may not be submitted late.
Attendance Policy:
In the event of an excused absence, any work due that day must be turned in on the day you return to class in order to earn full credit. If you miss a quiz or a test you will have one week from your return to make it up.
Grading Policy:
All grades are based upon total points and will largely be determined by scores on quizzes, tests, projects, and essays.
