A Few Notes About Grading:
1)
Tests: You can expect a test at the end of every period as well as quizzes within each period of study. All tests,
exams, and quizzes will be timed to start preparing you for the AP Exam.
2) Essays: You can expect to write in APUSH almost every day. We will learn to write effective DBQ essays as well as
shorter essays in response to readings that we will be doing. We will be writing essays at home and timed in-class
essays.
3) Homework: You will be given an assignment schedule at the beginning of each unit. The goal of the schedule is to
take a lot of reading and to break it up into manageable piece for you. However, it is your responsibility to keep
up with it. Waiting until the night before will prove to be a very daunting task! Other homework assignments will
be assigned as the semester continues.
