APPLICATION OF SKILLS
5. You have six periods not including P.E. Each teacher has provided their students with a syllabus. You’ve downloaded copies onto your desktop and mobile device. You've put them into sheet protectors in your binders. You’ve reviewed them and entered all test, quiz, project and other dates for each class into your planner for the entire semester. How can listing all of the dates and deadlines for all of your classes in a single place (your planner) help you be a better student? Once you list due dates and deadlines, what should you do? _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ True or False: 6. __________ You are an honest and good person, so you do not need to concern yourself with understanding academic honesty policies. 7. __________ The syllabus will tell you how many days you have to make up work after an excused absence. 8. __________ As you move up into high school and college, syllabuses become easier to understand and less relevant to your academic success in a class. 9. __________ The course calendar is a useful tool because it enables you to anticipate heavy work periods, which helps you balance your workload and manage your time. 10. __________ If you know your teacher’s grading plan, you can actually calculate the score(s) you will need to get on remaining tests, quizzes and assignments in order to get a desired grade in a class.
