SYLLABUSTED!
1. It’s the first day of school. Your U.S. Government teacher just handed out the course syllabus. He “suggested” that students read it. If you know what’s good for you (and you should, because you just finished a chapter on it) what will you do with the syllabus? a. Glance at it and toss it into your backpack until spring. b. Take a look at it sometime around finals to make sure you’ve done all the assigned reading. c. Read it carefully, put it in a sheet protector in your binder and use it as a guide for the course. d. Turn it over and use it as scratch paper. 2. You need to talk to your teacher about a grade you received on your English Lit essay. Because of the short passing period, she prefers not to to talk to students immediately after class. She holds regular office hours. Where can you find her office hours, office location and contact information? _ ______________________________________________________________________________ 3. It’s Sunday night. You were out of town all weekend at a soccer tournament. You’re stressed because you have a biology quiz in the morning that’s worth 15% of your grade in the class, and you haven’t studied. You also have 10 vocab cards due tomorrow as part of your teacher’s weekly vocab card assignment. The weekly vocabulary cards are worth 10% of your final grade and will take you about two hours to finish. In a time crunch, to which of these activities should you assign the highest priority? How can you tell?

Budget cuts have hit your school. Students have been asked to purchase their own books for their reading class. Your mom has asked you for the names of all of the books you will need so she can save money by buying them on the used book website. In what section of the syllabus can you find the list of books and the dates they are due? 79
