Mr. Anderson’s Syllabus and Grading system for Western Civilization
Welcome to Western Civilization and a new year at MCHS! Western Civilization is all about how the interactions of the past affect the issues of today. Through the use of a multitude of social studies disciplines, such as psychology, geography, sociology, and historical inquiry we will create a mental image of how we got to the point we are at. In this class we will be covering a massive amount of years, however it is more important to me that you understand WHY more so than When. In this class I will be teaching from the perspectives of WHY, What, Where, and When in that descending order with the most emphasis on Why something happened and how that event has affected how we live today.
I am big believer that in order to actively learn you must be active!! So with that being said I would like for us to go beyond the realm of regular learning and become Social Practitioners. In this class I hope to allow you this opportunity, however this is completely up to you. If you abide by the rules and procedures we will be an active class. I enjoy teaching through activity and I hope we can make this happen!
This syllabus outlines the Rules, Procedures that will be required in order to be successful in this class. In addition the Rewards and Consequences will be outlined as well as the required materials, grading scale and tentative daily schedule.
