Welcome
The new semester is here. A great way to get started is to look over the web site and see how the class is structured. Here is a quick quiz to see where we are going, Knowledge Quiz.
We are starting Unit 1. The unit is Foundations. The readings are available online. The unit has an extensive study guide and vocabulary aids. Be sure to take full advantage of these resources. The lectures for Unit 1 are posted here. The key is stay on top of the readings and the other assignments. Be sure to check the syllabus and calendar for assignments and due dates.
There
is one Topic
Day this month. There are several semester-long projects that you need to complete;
I recommend that
you
start immediately.
They
are: Grade Selection Project,
and Guest Speakers. The Grade Selection project has three parts. If you
have any questions, be sure to ask or visit before or after school.
Read through the Syllabus and
see how the course is laid out and what topics will be covered. Also check
out the calendar for the class. This will contain readings, due
dates for projects and topic day along will exam dates.
The last two years have brought many excellent guest speakers to our classroom. The
students have benefited from these visits. Here is link to some of the
visitors from the past years. Guest
