2 SYLLABUS Teacher: Mr. Walter Room: 621 Phone: (562) x Course Description: In AP Human Geography, students will systematically study the distribution, cultures, and effects of the human population on our planet. Students will work hard to develop greater critical thinking and writing skills as they prepare for the AP Human Geography Exam in May. Course Expectations: Advanced Placement (AP) classes are challenging. AP Human Geography is a rigorous, college-level course. The rewards can be tremendous, but you must be willing to work hard if you are going to be successful here. Students are expected to follow directions, be proactive, think critically, show respect, and demonstrate maturity and excellence at all times. Textbooks: 1. Foubert, Erin. AP Human Geography. Wiley Swanson, Kelly. AP Human Geography. Kaplan Required Materials: One college ruled spiral bound notebook. Grades: Point/Scale System: A = 100% - 90% B = 89% - 80% C = 79% - 70% D = 69% - 60% F = 59% - 0% Conduct and Attendance The Norwalk High School conduct and attendance and policies will be strictly enforced. Please see the Norwalk High School Parent-Student Handbook for details.
