1. You are having a short "classwork quiz" on Populism tomorrow after your vocab quiz. Study your notes & video sheet tonight. Remember no make ups for class work.
2. Today's HWQs (17/1 & 17/2) will be tomorrow if there is time, or Thursday at the beginning of class if we run out of time tomorrow.
3. Ch 15 & 16 HWQ make-ups require you taking the actual quiz, not just checking notes. You have tomorrow & Thursday at the time stated in the original due date post. You will not take the same quiz as your class period.
4. Exam remains Friday.
5. Thinkwave is updated. Take a look how NOT having a sheet sign &/or NOT doing your HW has already impacted your 3rd MP average.
Especially you, 1st period. Your grades were atrocious. Everyone had 26 days to copy the notes. Did you really think 7 zeros (you had 7 sections due) wouldn't hurt your average?
2nd period - your grades were overwhelmingly awesome. A couple of you didn't bother, but most of you flew through. Nice job!
5th period - you were right in the middle. A few of you clearly did your work, and a few of you clearly did not.

NYS Clause Requiring You to Pass BOTH the Course AND Regents Exam in order to Graduate
From the New York State Dept of education, for anyone who thinks he/she does not have to pass a course to graduate. This is proof from the State that you cannot simply pass a regents Exam to get credit for a course & graduate. Failed the class? G to summer school. You have been warned ALL. YEAR. LONG.

SECTION SIX
AWARDING OF CREDIT AND
ISSUANCE OF REGENTS DIPLOMAS
Awarding of Credit for Courses of Study:A course of study involves class attendance, homework assignments, quizzes, tests, and other instructional activities. In many instances it also involves the taking of a State exam at the end of the course. When deciding whether a student who is enrolled in a course of study has satisfactorily completed the course and is entitled to credit for such course, the teacher should evaluate the student’s performance on all these activities. In accordance with Section 100.5(a)(5)(v) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education (http://www.p12.nysed.gov/part100/home.html), passing the Regents Exam in a subject shall not be construed as having earned a unit of credit in that subject unless the student also passes the course as offered in a registered high school or meets the requirements for credit by exam. (See section below, Students Not Enrolled in Courses of Study.)
January Regents Exam
The Thematic was challenging on Tuesday's exam. Not only were the documents long & the questions worded very differently from the past, the essay topic itself was on specific government programs. Details was required about the facts that led to each (you had to write about 2), the government's response, the impact of the problem on the groups involved, and prove the success or failure of the program. The included American policies in South Vietnam, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Indian Removal Act & the 14th Amendment. Glossing over the info with no details required a failing grade, per the State scoring guidelines.
The multiple choice had longer readings than normal & several questions per reading, in graduated difficulty. This is what we think we will see in June.
If you weren't worried enough to d your work before the 3rd MP, it just might be able to pull of the Regents. If you wait even one more week, it's over. But remember I told you last week about how they like programs & Constitutional issues...and there it was.
You should listen to me. I know what I'm talking about...
