1 AP US Government Course Syllabus Ms. Bez Licking Heights High School School Year Thursday, May 4, :00 AM AP Government Exam Introduction AP United States Government and Politics introduces students to key political ideas, institutions, policies, interactions, roles, and behaviors that characterize the political culture of the United States. The course examines politically significant concepts and themes, through which students learn to apply disciplinary reasoning assess causes and consequences of political events, and interpret data to develop evidence-based arguments. (College Board course description) Course Objectives: Students successfully completing this course will: know important facts, concepts, and theories pertaining to U.S. government and politics understand typical patterns of political processes and behavior and their consequences (including the components of political behavior, the principles used to explain or justify various government structures and procedures, and the political effects of these structures and procedures) be able to analyze and interpret basic data relevant to U.S. government and politics (including data presented in charts, tables, and other formats) be able to critically analyze relevant theories and concepts, apply them appropriately, and develop their connections across the curriculum Description: This course will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the government and politics of the United States. Students will examine various general concepts and specific examples in order to analyze and synthesize the functions and outcomes of government and politics in the United States. use critical thinking skills to evaluate a variety of theoretical perspectives, as well as political behaviors and their outcomes. learn important facts, concepts, and theories pertaining to the U.S. government and understand typical patterns of political processes and behavior and their consequences. An emphasis will be placed on critical thinking skills, essay writing, primary source analysis, debating skills, presentations, and other activities. Students should bring to the course a basic understanding of the various vocabulary, institutions, and ideological beliefs involved with and relating to U.S. government and politics. This is a rigorous and demanding course requiring students to have a strong work ethic, to read at a rigorous pace, and to complete a variety of writing assignments. Students are expected to demonstrate strong writing and analytical skills and independent work habits. Course Readings Edwards and Wattenberg. Government in America. 16 th Ed. Pearson Education, Inc.: New York, The Pocket Constitution of the United States and The Declaration of Independence by the National Center for Constitutional Studies The Summer of 1787 by David O. Stewart
2 These readings will be supplemented with classroom handouts, online articles, books, and online documents throughout the year. Course Expectations You are responsible for your own work, in class and make up. If you miss work due to absences, you are responsible for making it up in the required time. Always remember that you can get work or announcements from the web site. You are expected to keep up with current events by daily watching the news or reading periodicals. Come prepared each day with necessary materials. Cheating and/or plagiarism are serious offenses and will be handled immediately by appropriate school authorities. Do not to tolerate cheating; it is unfair to you! You can notify me of any incident (anonymously if you wish) so I can deal with it. You are tardy to class if you are not in your seat when the bell rings. This is a college level class and will be taught as such. Expect more work, expect to work independently, expect questions on tests that are thinking questions and may not be in your text. I will give out a calendar at the beginning of each unit and I will work hard to keep to it or update it. Therefore, you will know about all work in advance (i.e. no whining!). The goal is to pass the National AP Exam at the end of the year (May 4 th in the morning). This is an optional exam. If you pass it, you ll probably receive college credit worth a one semester class. Different colleges may have different policies regarding A.P. scores. If you choose not to take the exam, you ll be required to take and be graded on a comprehensive exam that I develop. But everyone will study together in the days leading up to the National A.P. US Government Exam. Course Websites this site will have general information but we will use the course sites page for assignments and materials. o This is our main class website for blogging and class materials, etc. /Grading Readings/ Each unit is divided based on chapters from the textbook that you will be required to read and outline. In addition to the chapter content, you are expected to read/study all maps, charts, table, and any additional information found in the chapter. This supplemental material will be used in class lecture. Unit Tests There will be six unit tests throughout the year, each one of these tests will follow the AP format in design. There will be 30 multiple choice questions with a 22 and 1/2-minute time limit. Multiple choice questions will come from the unit covered and up to 6 questions from previous units studied. The second part will be 1 free response questions with a 25-minute time limit. These reflect the same time restraints students will face taking the AP Exam. Reading Quizzes Every chapter there will be a 20 multiple choice question quiz over the material covered in the textbook. Weekly Blogging Every week there will be an on-line blogging assignment using current news articles, news based video clips, graphs, maps, political cartoons, or charts to examine the material covered that week at a deeper level in a current and relevant context. This consists of an original post (due by midnight on Wednesday) of at least 300 words and then two response posts (due by midnight on Saturday) of at least 150 words to your classmates. Free Response Questions At the end of each chapter there will be a free response question writing assessment, in which students will have a 25-minute limit to respond.
3 In class assignments/presentation/projects Throughout the year, students will have in class assignments and research-based projects that will be graded on class presentations or debates. Their classroom participation will be factored into this grade. (The summer assignment will count for 10% of this grade for 1 st quarter) Assignment Type % of Quarter Grade Tests and Quizzes 60% Unit Tests 30% Free Response Question 10% Tests 10% Reading Quizzes 10% Weekly Blogging 20% In class assignments, projects, participation 20% Total Grade 100% Free Inquiry: This classroom is a place for critical inquiry into vital questions about our political beliefs and values. I hope that this class stimulates your thinking, respects and affirms your beliefs, and is a safe place for you to share your ideas. It s my goal to listen thoughtfully, ask incisive questions, and consider all sides of an issue. I hope you ll join me on this journey. Hammurabi s Code of Conduct Observe the Golden Rule. In other words Attendance/Tardy Come to class every day. If there is a reason you must be absent, please inform me prior to the absence, if possible. I shut the door when class starts. If you arrive after the door is shut, you are tardy. Your 3 rd tardy and every other tardy for the quarter will result in a detention. Any work missed due to an unexcused absence will result in a grade of zero for that assignment. Honor Code I take intellectual property very seriously. Any instances of plagiarism, cheating, or unauthorized collaboration or copying of assignments will result in an automatic zero for the assignment with no possibility of make-up. Homework You must turn in work when it is due. No late work will be accepted. Food and drink Leave the room as neat and tidy as you found it. I allow you to eat and drink in class (within reason). If your class leaves food or drinks in the room this privilege will be suspended.
4 Cell phones Cells phones and any personal communication devices should be turned off during class and put out of sight unless you have expressed permission from the teacher. Please do not answer phones, text, or allow your phones to ring or vibrate during class. No taking photos of notes, handouts, etc. without my permission. Students will receive 1 warning for unacceptable cell phone use. If the behavior continues, the cell phone will be placed on the teacher s desk for the remainder of the class period. Computers You may NOT use computers in class without my permission. Sleeping in class Sleeping in class is unacceptable. It will affect your grade, leave you open to attack, & you might just awake with a lightning bolt on your forehead. Discussion There is a great deal of opportunity for discussion in this class. Discussion (and life in general) works best if you observe the following rules. Listen. Speak your mind (not just your heart). Restate what the other person has just said before you respond to it. Attack ideas, not people. Don t kill the messenger. Ask as many questions as you make statements. It s ok to disagree. You can still be friends. Do us all a favor and think about what you are going to say before you say it. Follow this guide: Is what you are saying true? Is it important? Is it worth saying? Is it harmful? Don t repeat things that have already been said. Don t begin with, Somebody already said this Respond to the current thread of the discussion, not what was said five minutes ago (let it go). If you start a sentence with, I m not racist, but you shouldn t say it.

I can help you during the year, but when you sit down to take the test you will only have yourself to rely on. You need to understand this and spend the year making sure that you are prepared for this test. Good luck! Mr. Bez
