COURSE DESCRIPTION The purpose of a course in AP Macroeconomics is to give students a thorough understanding of the principles of economics that apply to system as a whole. Such a course places particular emphasis on the study of the national income and price determination, and also develops students familiarity with economic performance measures, economic growth, and international economics. THE COURSE GOALS: To introduce students to the field of macroeconomics. To teach basic economic concepts and analytical skills To enable students to score well on the AP macroeconomics. An AP macroeconomics course is challenging and stimulating, and compared to a regular economics course, takes more time and requires more homework. II. TEXTBOOK McConnell, Brue, and Flynn.

HOMEWORK AND IN-CLASS EXPECTATIONS In order to prepare adequately for the Advanced Placement Macroeconomics Exam in May, you must spend considerable time preparing for class. The text must be read and problems completed in a timely fashion. Assignment must be done and questions formulated before coming to class. Attendance / Promptness Because each class begins with a warm-up activity, students are expected to be in their seats prior to the bell, and begin the warm-up immediately. In addition to the schools policies regarding tardiness, students who are late, and do not have an excused note, will lose any points associated with a warm-up activity or quiz. Make-up Work Late assignments (unless the student has an excused absence, see next paragraph) may be turned in within one class meeting of the due date for half the points that would have been earned if the assignment would have been completed on time. No other late work will be accepted. This penalty will apply regardless of the reason the assignment is late. If you have an excused absence, you must submit make-up work within one day of your return from the absence to avoid the late penalty. Tests and quizzes may be made up only following an excused absence, and must be completed during a time designated by the teacher Requests for work for future absences It is solely your responsibility to obtain any work that will be missed due to a planned absence (this includes extracurricular activities). Because of the ever-changing needs of a course such as this, I can only give one week of work in advance. Coming to me after the fact will NOT be acceptable. Failure to make arrangements in advance will result in your not being able to make up the work missed Bathroom Passes Bathroom passes will not be limited, but will be handed out at my discretion only. It is your responsibility to ask at an appropriate time (e.g. not in the middle of a class discussion) and with manners and respect. Bathroom passes will not be given the first 15 minutes of class or the last 5 minutes of class. Cell Phones & Electronic Devices There will be absolutely no cell phone usage in the classroom. All cell phones will be turned off and put away while in the classroom; cell phones will be confiscated if they are visible or are in use. If a parent needs to get in touch with a student, the parent can contact the office and a message can be delivered to the classroom. No CD players/I-Pods/electronic devices are permitted. If a student is listening to music or playing a game, the device will be confiscated. School rules display the following consequences for electronic devices: First offensewarning; Second offensedevice is taken for the remainder of the day, the student may pick it up in his/her counselors office after school; Third offense - Saturday School, and the device will be given back to the parent; Fourth Offense- two day suspension, and the device will be given back to the parents at the end of the semester. Food & Drinks In compliance with school policy, food and drinks are not permitted in the classroom. Only bottled water that is capped will be permitted. Starbucks, sodas, and food will be properly disposed in the trashcan upon entry into the classroom. Materials Notebook dedicated to Modern World History Blue or black ink pens College Ruled Notebook Paper Pencils A binder/folder to stay organized Syllabus Changes The teacher reserves the right to alter these policies and expectations if necessary during the course of the school year. Notification of any changes will be posted on the teachers website. Classroom Guidelines Together, we will make this class a positive learning experience! 1. Bring all needed materials to class 2. Be in your seat and ready to begin when the bell rings 3. RESPECT and be polite to all people and their belongings 4. Follow all school rules Disciplinary Actions You are all on the verge of becoming self-reliant and responsible adults. I expect you to act as such. Every student has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach; disrespectful/disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If you make the choice to misbehave, then you choose to have a consequence. 1st offense= verbal warning 2nd offense= removal from class and parent phone call 3rd offense= referral and class suspension Also: DO NOT BE TARDY!!!! Suspensions If you are suspended for any reason (on or off campus) you will not be allowed to make up any work for that period of time (tests & projects included). Academic Integrity: As a high school student you are held to a high standard of achievement and integrity. You are expected to act as such. Any student who plagiarizes, lies, cheats, or otherwise misuses the academic environment or other students or their work will be suspended per school district policy. The grade for the assignment(s) or test(s) in question will be converted to an F.All work completed for this class is expected to be original from the student or credited to the source from which it is taken. While students may be allowed, or even encouraged, to collaborate on certain assignments, the work produced must be in the submitting students own words. Violations of this policy include, but are not limited to: * Copying from another students paper OR knowingly allowing another student to copy from your paper * Copying directly from the text or other printed material without citation * Downloading and/or copying from an internet source * Copying from another students paper or any other prohibited material during a test or quiz Extra Credit/Movies There will possibly be one extra credit assignment per semester. If it is offered you should take advantage of the opportunity. We will be watching segments from movies and TV that range from G to PG-13. Please contact me if you do not wish to have your child watch a particular movie.
