Failure to do so, will greatly diminish the overall worth of the course. 3 field trips are planned.

  12. A.P. Art History misconceptions… It is an easy class…. NOT… there is a ton of work with much reading, writing and memory! It is not really useful…. WRONG… it delves into all content areas and involves much use of technology and research skills. It is just for the “smart,” “nerdy” or “artsy” kids… WRONG AGAIN … This course provides a differentiated venue for all types of learners at all levels.

  18. General Guidelines and Best Practices

  19. Where there is a Will….there is an“A” _______________________________________ If a student has completed all of the required work SATISFACTORILY with little to no absences…and has demonstrated respect, sincerity, and motivation to be and do the BEST… extra-credit work MAYbe allowed/assigned on a case-by-case basis to earn additional points, solely at my discretion.

  20. Failure is NOT an Option ZERO INTOLERANT ! Students MUST complete all … assignments / tests / projects, etc…. Incomplete work will certainly result in loss of course credit and may delay/prevent timely graduation / forwarding of transcripts.
