This course is designed to introduce students to Early American History, from the Age of Exploration through the Civil War. Arriving late or leaving early without prior notification or later explanation will be considered an absence. Turn off pagers and cell phones upon entering classroom. Exams are as scheduled unless otherwise notified. Students are responsible for information announced during class meetings.
Students are responsible for any instructions and information missed due to an absence.
The lowest score of the first five tests will be dropped. If you miss one of the first five tests, it will be considered your lowest grade and be dropped. This is your only make-up option. If you miss more than one test, or test six, a zero will be averaged into your final grade.
