週あたり 1-2 時間. Brief, independent assignments will often extend outside classroom time due to our packed agenda. Every learner will get at least one week to complete assignments and will receive advanced notice for larger projects. Homework, necessary for a deeper understanding, will be light—expect about 30 to 60 minutes per week. It's important to note that learners have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks. Completing these assignments diligently on one's own time will not only reinforce the material discussed in class but will also prepare learners for more engaging and productive class experience. Learners will be assigned a role to play during the simulation, which requires some background work (both individually and in teams) leading up to the actual simulation (a special session of Congress). For digital worksheets, please refer to the 'Materials' section, which contains a list of third-party websites where they can be accessed.テスト
Upon request and prior to the start of the course, assessments can be conducted throughout the course to evaluate learner progress and understanding. These assessments may include quizzes, tests, projects, feedback and/or other forms of evaluation (i.e. letter grade). Parents and learners are encouraged to discuss their grading preferences with the teacher. The purpose of assessments and grades is to provide feedback on student learning and measure their achievement. It is important for learners to actively participate in assessments and seek feedback to gauge their progress and areas of improvement. Furthermore, a detailed rubric will be provided specifically for the project. This rubric will serve as a guideline to assess and evaluate the quality and creativity of the learners' project. It will outline the criteria and expectations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the assessment process.文章の成績

This course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of how economics impacts their daily lives and the world around them. This course is designed to be interactive and hands-on, blending lecture, discussion, and project-based learning to engage students in the complexities of economics.
