Dear Student,
I’m writing to present the material and expectations for the course in Religions of the World. I’m looking forward to teaching you, and I hope that the class will be challenging and rewarding for you.
This class is a comparative history of the major religions of the world. It covers their origins, beliefs, major figures and relationship to history and modern events.
Instruction will include lecture and discussion, out of class reading and research, guest speakers, and discussion of current events and the way that they affect, and are affected by the Religions of the World.
Following is a list of class policies and expectations for all students. I would greatly appreciate if you and your parents/and or guardians could review the list and sign.
This year I’m going to try to use Email as much as possible: Therefore I’m asking for parent/guardian emails.
I’m looking forward to the school year. If either you (the student) or your parents have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Please have you and your parents sign a note acknowledging that you have read this.
Thank you,
Luke Smith

Classroom Policies and Expectations for Religions of the World
This is the general list of class expectations. This should be basically the same as all other classes. If you have any questions about any of the specific points, please do not hesitate to call. I’m asking you to sign the list so that everyone involved knows the general expectations.
Attendance. Attendance is required. Students with unexcused absences will not be allowed to make up work.
Tardiness. A student is tardy if they are not in their seat, ready to work, when the bell rings.
Behavior: The classroom is a professional environment. Students are expected to be prompt, to participate, and to be polite and respectful towards each other and towards the teacher.
Class Materials: Each student must have the following EVERY DAY.
Textbook
A 3 ring binder dedicated to the class.
A set of colored pencils (8 is plenty).
Pencil, and Pen (Blue or Black)
If students cannot afford the materials for whatever reason, the FAN office can provide the material. The student can talk to the FAN office directly, or talk to me.
Late Policy: Late work is not acceptable. The department policy is 1 letter grade off for each day late. After the 3rd day, the work will not be accepted.
Grading: I will provide examples of work for students so that expectations are clear. Work will generally be graded within 24 hours. Grades will be posted 2-3 times per week. I will provide an individual grade report for every student weekly, and for any student or parent/guardian that requests it as frequently as requested.
Homework: This is an elective class. As such the homework will be modest. But there will be some, and when homework is given you can expect immediate assessment. For every assignment, in class time will be given (including library time, computer lab time, etc.). Please note that many of these projects will be one or two week projects. It is assumed that the student will budget their time, so that they do not do the entire project the night before the project is due.
I understand that students have other classes, and lives outside of school. If students have legitimate needs for extensions, they should see me as soon as possible. If the students contact me in advance, I will make every reasonable accommodation.
Cheating and Plagiarism: The penalty for cheating or plagiarism is that the work will be marked as a zero. I will also contact the parent or guardian and request a conference.
Electronics Policy: As I’m sure you’re aware, mp3 players, CD players, etc. and Cellphones are no longer acceptable during academic hours at Summit.
Thank you,
Luke Smith
