What you can expect from AP Biology

AP Biology has rigorous coursework requirements and students must stay on top of their studies to succeed.

However in an effort to maintain a positive attitude among students I do allow students to complete test corrections for half credit.

This allows students to experience a college style test, prepare for the AP exam, and still maintain a desired GPA.

Labs are mandatory and should no be missed if possible.

Attendance should always be a priority due to the large amount of information covered in a day.

The AP exam will be in May, students must score a three or higher to receive college credit.

What you can expect from Biology

The goal of regular Biology is prepare students for the Biology portion of the graduation exam.

Students will complete coursework and labs.

Attendance is a priority and should be taken seriously.

This is a blue collar class if students complete the work and study they will not fail.

Grading

In accordance with madison county board policy daily work counts a 40% of a nine weeks grade and test are 60%.

A final is to be given in all classes and count as 15% of the final grade.

There are reduced number of daily grades in AP to better simulate a college course.
