This course is a course set up to have students understand the
United States
government, how the economy functions, its effect on the world,
and the importance ofbeing informed citizens. It will be broen up
into two semesters, having an e!am at the
end of each semester covering that semester"s material. The
first semester will
concentrate on #overnment while the second will be primarily
focused on $conomics,
however at times it is important to understand a concept about
one to understand aconcept about the other.
The class will be taught at the %onors level, and will be
designed to help prepare
the students for college, as well as e!pecting a certain amount
of personal responsibility
of students that choose to tae the class at the honors
level.

ies 5/I update I012 often, so please chec I012 with grading
uestions and then feel free to
email me if further information is needed. #rades not turned in
when the assignment is
put into I012 are put in as zeros. This does not mean the grade
will stay a zero,especially if the reason is an e!cused absence,
rather the assignment is not currently in.
Condct!ll rules of the student handboo apply. bove everything
else, respect
yourself, each other, 1&%S, and me in the classroom.
sences!It is the responsibility of the stdentsto arrange for any
mae)up
assignments, including tests. They will notbe given during class
time *e!ceptions being
study halls that align with my planning period+. They must come
see me before or afterschool and mae a scheduled appointment *using
signupgenius, a lin to this site is
provided on www.acesin334.com+ to mae up wor after school or
before school. Thismust be done within a wee of the student
returning unless other arrangements have been
made. If this is not done, the student will receive a zero for
that assignment, which can be
very harmful to their grade and more importantly their
understanding of the course.5ae)up assignments will generally be
different from the assignments that are given in
class, they will cover the same material, but not necessarily in
the same format to insure
the validity of the assignment, and in some cases to mae the
best use of time.
