Progress Checks: Unit Progress Checks occur after the completion of each unit. Progress Checks include Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and Free Response Questions (FRQ) via CollegeBoard's AP Classroom. These Progress Checks allow for the instructor to see a student's individual understanding/knowledge of learned content and concepts. Students will practice with similar questions/themes/concepts/standards/etc. that may show up on the official AP Art History Exam. Progress Checks have specific deadlines and cannot be made up for credit.
Projects: Projects are supplementary assessments throughout the course that utilize and visually showcase a student's creativity and knowledge of content (*Please look at the "Projects" tab on this website to see specific examples). Projects can be used to help organize facts, explore themes, connect cultures, and practice artistic skills. Students are able to redo and resubmit projects throughout the term.
Formative (10%)
Formative assessments can be, but are not limited to: quizzes, short responses, exit tickets, and most importantly, the AP Art History Notebook. We will be working on this notebook throughout the entire class and it will be used to collect data and information pertaining to the course content. Some pages will be submitted or checked to provide the instructor feedback about how a student is actively building their knowledge and improve the student's methods of retaining their learning.
