Be an active attentive learner. Pay attention. Listen
carefully, Participate in class. Use the website to see
testing schedule, essay questions, identification quizzes homework
assignments, etc.

Please bring the following items everyday: notebook, pen,
textbook.

If you are absent with an excused reason, check with me or another student to
see what you have missed. If you have missed the daily
identification quiz, please turn in unit textbook notes (students may choose
their own note taking style) within two days of your return to class to
receive credit for missed daily quizzes. Students are only allowed to miss
three daily quizzes.

I will follow all San Marcos policies including policies on tardiness and
truancy.

Students should expect two to three hours of reading and/or homework each
night. Students will be expected to learn much of the
content of U.S. History on their own through textbook and supplemental
reading. (See course overview for more information about the goals of the
course.)

Students are expected to attend occasional evening seminars and spring review
sessions. (Evening seminars will probably be held on
Tuesday evenings. More details will be provided later in
