ABSENTEE POLICY
2016-2017

LATE / INCOMPLETE WORK

YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT

WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT.
You are responsible for making up missed
work. When you return to class, you must
get your work from the What did I miss?
folders. If you miss one day, you must turn
in the assignment by the next day. If you
were supposed to turn in work the day you
were absent, that work is due the day you
return to class. You must schedule a time
with Miss Hooks to make up any test. All
tests must be made up 3 days following
students return to school.

My expectation is that ALL assignments be

completed and turned in on time. If an
assignment is turned in but not completed,
the assignment will be returned to the
student and the work must be completed /
redone until proficiency is achieved. The
assignment will not receive a grade until
proficiency is achieved.
Late work will not be given full credit. If an
assignment is late, 25% will be deducted
from the assignment grade.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students will study the rise of the nation state in Europe, the French Revolution, and the
economic and political roots of the modern world. They will examine the origins and
consequences of the Industrial Revolution, nineteenth century political reform in
Western Europe, and Imperialism in Africa, Asia, and South America. They will explain
the causes and consequences of the great military and economic events of the past
century, including the World Wars, the Great Depression, the Cold War, and the Russian
and Chinese Revolutions. Finally, students will study the rise of nationalism and the
continuing persistence of political, ethnic, and religious conflict in many parts of the
world.
