Course Scope and sequence
This is a survey course on the parts of law that most of us will experience in our lifetimes. This is an overview of law and the legal system, criminal law and juvenile justice, torts and civil law, consumer and family law, and civil liberties. We will also put on a mock trial case and experience the court room first hand.
Grading
This is a discussion and participation based class. You'll be expected to contribute regularly during discussions and with partners and in small groups. Expect weekly homework assignments, section quizzes and chapter tests. Grading will be based loosely on the following
Participation 35% A=90% <
Tests/Quizzes 25% B=80-90
Homework 20% C=70-80
Classwork 20% D=70 >
Homework
Due at the beginning of class
Excused absences - given the # of days plus one that you were absent to make up work
You are responsible for finding out what you missed.
Everyday you will need your book, paper, pencil. Come prepared to write every class
Expectations
Treat your fellow students and teacher with respect, and they will do the same for you.
Listen when others are speaking - give him or her your undivided attention and don't just wait to talk.
Be Responsible
Be in your seat, ready to begin work when the tardy bell rings
Bring supplies to class everyday.
All work must be made up in a timely fashion. Times to make up tests need to be prearranged either before or after school or at lunch.
