World History is a required course for graduation from Beverly Hills High School.  It is a survey course that covers history from the ancient beginnings of democracy to the Enlightenment then through the present day.
 
This site is under extensive construction due to student comments from last year, so please be patient. It should be easier to navigate than before, so thank you everyone for your help!

Rules for World History: These rules and expectations apply to both semesters, so please follow them! This file is a .pdf file!
 
Checking Your Grade: When you go to www.jupitergrades.com, type in your BHHS 5-digit student ID and 6-digit password.  Your current grade will show up. 
     IF there is an error, please print out your grade report, circle the contested assignment & attach the work in question.  I will correct the error ASAP. 
     Parents - please contact Mrs. Fine for your student's username & password so you can access this web site, or ask your student for the information.  Please contact Mrs. Fine if you have any questions about the reports.

It will be updated periodically, so please be sure to double check both this calendar and the one on the side board in Mrs. Fine's classroom for any assignment changes.
 
Self Evaluation:
After each test, I ask that students evaluation both their praparationa and performance on the the test honestly. This process should help students both evaluate and improve their study habits. Worth 10 points in the test category.
 
Please answer the following questions in complete sentences and honestly, then hand in to your teacher.
1.   What was the raw score on your test? Were you surprised by the raw score on this test? Why or why not?
2.   What types of questions did you have difficulty with?
3.   What strategies did you use to study for this test? Do you feel that these strategies worked?
4.   What do you plan for improvement on the next test?
5.   Did you take advantage of the strategies that Mrs. Fine offered?
6.   Are there any other comments that you would like to add about your performance on this test, and/or progress in this course?
