Practical Law

Students are expected to make up all work that was missed when they were absent. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what work needs to be made-up. All work from an absence will be due the next time the student is in class.

This class is designed to challenge the student to think critically about the issues presented. Students will be expected to give their opinions and thoughts on a wide variety of subjects either in front of the class or in small groups. In addition, they will also be expected to justify their opinions using logic and reason. Listening is another critical skill that will prove useful in this class.

If an assignment is late and is turned in the following class period the student will receive only ½ credit. After two class periods it is 0%. Unless the absences is excused by the front office.

IF YOU ARE ABSENT, IT IS THE JOB OF THE STUDENT TO FIND OUT WHAT WORK THEY MISSED!

WHAT TO EXPECT: Reading Assignments in and out of class, Worksheets, Notes, and Discussion, Quizzes, Tests, and Current Events

Each unit will have one summative assessment. These assessments will be multiple choice. In addition, each unit will have, from time to time, smaller formative assessments in order to measure each student’s progress prior to the unit summative assessment.

Any major assignments and/or projects in class will have explicit instructions concerning the due date and late policy.
