© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Course Goals: 1) Prepare you for the APES Exam in May. a)100 Multiple Choice -Testing your knowledge and mastery of the material. b)4 “Free Response” exercises -Analyzing and interpreting information and experimental data, including mathematical calculations. -How to identify and analyze environmental problems, to evaluate the ecological and human health risks associated with these problems, and to critically examine various solutions for resolving or preventing them. c)Past Year’s Performance Year12345Average 2009/ / / /

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Basically You Need To… 1) Know a lot of stuff And… 2) Be able to think about, interpret and utilize the stuff

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Course Framework: 2.To develop enlightened background in the following areas of Environmental Science. -Environmental Science: Population, Values, Policy, and Sustainability -Ecology, Biodiversity, Environmental Systems, and Conservation -Climate Change -Agriculture, Land, and Soil Issues -Water Issues -Humans and their Environmental Impact -Energy Issues

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Course Goals: 3.To ignite possibilities and a deeper sense of purpose within students. a)A belief and desire to make a difference in the world. b)Can I make a difference?… finding the greatness in yourself.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Course Structure: Designed as an introductory college course. Combination lecture, discussion, current events, field trips, video support, and labs. Clearly organized in Unit Plans and Weekly Lessons. -Wiki Pages. A Brisk Pace – Rarely will the course deviate from what is scheduled in the Unit Plan. Textbook – Environment: The Science Behind the Stories (5 th Ed), Withgott and Laposata Regular Evaluations and Grades QuizzesMultiple Choice Exercises Chapter PacketsLabs (Spring) Supplemental ReadingsUnit Exams Term & Final Exams

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Course Expectations: Take Ownership for Your Learning Stay current with the Unit Plan and Note Packet. -Plan ahead. Academic, Intellectual, and Personal Integrity & Excellence -What you hand in represents your best effort and own scholarship. -Put your best foot forward. Be attentive and engaged. -Counts as part of your grade. Take notes and have an organized notebook. Study… Learn the Material!!!... Homework vs. Studying -Homework: tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed mostly outside of class. -Studying: the application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge, as by reading, investigation, or reflection.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Grading: Achievement Achievement grades are determine by weighted averages of quizzes, multiple choice exercises, tests, and other assigned work… 50 grades assignments last Fall.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Grading: Effort Effort grades are determined through the following matrix.  100 – 91: Exceeds all classroom and homework expectations… does supplementary assignments and study’s material outside of study hall hours. Current with all assignments. Assignments reflect personal excellence.  90 – 81: Meets all classroom and homework expectations. Current with 90%+ of all assignments. Doesn’t need to be reminded about late assignments. Assignments mostly reflect personal excellence.  80 – 71: Falls short of classroom and homework expectations. Current with only 80%+ of all assignments. Needs to be reminded once about late assignments. Assignments reflect some personal excellence.  70 – 65: Falls significantly short of classroom and homework expectations. Current with only 70%+ of all assignments. Needs to be reminded two or three times about late assignments. May need specially assigned time to complete assignments.. Assignments reflect very little personal excellence.  64 – 55: Failing the class. Current with only less than 70% of all assignments. Needs specially assigned time to complete assignments. Assignments reflect hardly any personal excellence.
