Course Syllabus

Hello everyone! We are looking forward to meeting you and getting started with AP US History. 

Here is our course expectations document. We'll go over it together in a few days, but for now, we do want to highlight that you'll need a notebook with lined paper and a three-ring binder for our course. Here also is the link to the schedule for the first two units.

Need extra help? Let's set up a meeting during office hours, which run Tuesday afternoons from 2:35-3:05. There are also meet plenty of other times if those don't work for you, especially during A Blocks.

Finally, let us briefly explain how grading will work this year. Each quarter grade is worth 22% of your year grade, with a final exam worth 12%. Quarters are made up of Major and Minor Assignments. The former, consisting of tests and essays (with a project or two in the Fourth Quarter after the AP Exam is done), is worth 75% of the quarter grade, while the latter, which includes short quizzes and short writing assignments, makes up the remaining 25%.
