SYLLABUS Teacher: Mr. Walter Room: 621 Phone: (562)210-3830 x535621 Email: ewalter@nlmusd.k12.ca.us 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. 2015. 2. Swanson, Kelly. AP Human Geography. Kaplan. 2017. 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.
