World History
Class Syllabus:
Students will study the following units in World History:
Emergence of the Modern World
Age of Revolution
Age of Industry and Nationalism
World in Conflict
The Contemporary World
Students will be exposed to a variety of projects throughout the semester.
Students will gain experience on the computer and will do projects on the internet.
Class Requirements:
You must bring all needed supplies each day. These include paper and something to write with. If supplies are forgotten regularly, a detention will be earned.
Class assignments are due at the bell unless otherwise informed. Assignments not turned in at end of class will be considered late.
I will accept late work at a starting value of 50% of the original points value.
Make up work is your responsibility. You are responsible to pick it up.
Just like the real world, you will need to be: Reliable, Responsible, and Respectful.
Student Behavior and Responsibilities:
Be in classroom when bell rings. In hall is tardy.
Book bags are allowed if they stay under the desk and out of the way.
Do your own work. If caught copying, both parties will receive 0’s.
You are not allowed to use restroom or get a drink during class. Don’t ask.
No profanity. If you do, be prepared for consequences.
No food or pop in class. Water or sports drinks are allowed. Must be in a clear container as stated in the student handbook.
All school rules listed in the school discipline policy are in affect in this class. You are responsible for knowing them, and if you choose not to follow, disciplinary action will be assigned.
No cellphones, ipods, or similar devices are allowed in class without permission. Devices will be confiscated by the teacher and not given back until end of class or end of day either from teacher or office.
No writing on or abusing desks, books, or class room. Any breaking of of this rule will result in discipline and you either paying for it or cleaning it up.
Evaluation Process and Grading Scale:
Your grade will be weighted. Homework and projects will be worth 70% of your grade and tests and quizzes will be worth 30% of your grade.
Your final grade will be determined by total points and a cumulative final test.
Grading scale:
100-90 A
89-80 B
79-70 C
69-60 D
59-0 F
Remember, how you do is up to you. Be self motivated to perform and you will do well. If not, be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions. I want you to do well, but nothing is going to be given to you. If it is to be worthwhile, you must earn it. Your teachers are here to help you, and want you to do the best you can.
Good Luck,
Mr. Upson
