I would first like to say how excited I am to be returning to Sullivan, and I cant
wait to get to know everyone. This year we will be studying the various
aspects of the social studies with a heavy emphasis on world history. This class
will cover everything from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Age of
Enlightenment.
Grading: My grading system is very simple: 60% of the overall grade will be
determined by test scores, 30% will be determined by homework and projects,
and 10% will be determined by in-class assignments.
Grading Scale:
A = 93% - 100% B- = 80% - 82.9% D+ = 67% - 69.9%
A- = 90% - 92.9% C+ = 77% - 79.9% D = 63% - 66.9%
B+ = 87% - 89.9% C = 73% - 76.9% D- = 60% - 62.9%
B = 83% - 86.9% C- = 70% - 72.9% F = 59.9% and below
*Late work will be docked 20% per day that it is late, up to two days. After
two days, the assignment will receive a zero.
*Cheating of any kind (copying, plagiarizing, etc.) will result in a zero for the
assignment.
*It is the responsibility of the student to make up work when absent; if it is not
made up, it will result in a zero.
