ALPHARETTA HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OFFERINGS For the Academic School Year 2018 2019 When using this catalog, please remember the following: Course # indicates the computer number of the course. Term indicates the length of the course. Courses with a term of S meet for one semester; those designated with Y meet for the entire year. AHS Indicators of Success designate certain courses that must be completed prior to the start of the course, that certain grades must be achieved in previous courses, that the course is restricted to certain grade levels, and/or that the student must make application to register for the course. AHS Indicators of Success grade requirements specified are the weighted final grades, which include the seven (7) honors points if applicable. *The Fulton County Course Placement Guidelines are given as well. Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of college-level courses which gives high school students the opportunity to receive advanced placement and/or credit in college through successful completion of an exit examination. Signing the AP Commitment Statement on the course verification form is required for all AP classes. AP/Honors/Advanced class waivers will be required to override teacher recommendations in instances when a student has not met the FCS High School Placement guidelines requirements. Work-Based Learning (WBL) is for students who are 16 years of age or older. Please see Mr. Marshall King in 5205 for more information. Virtual Classes are courses students take online; most commonly through Fulton Virtual School (FVS) or Georgia Virtual School (GAVS). FVS and GAVS classes have specific beginning and ending dates which align with the school calendar. Each class has a specific syllabus the student needs to follow and keep up with every day. A virtual teacher monitors and evaluates the student s classwork remotely and provides support upon student request. Please see your school counselor or Mr. Renaldo in room 4206 for more information. College classes are offered through the State of Georgia Dual Enrollment (DE) program. Dual Enrollment is a program that provides funding for students at eligible high schools that are enrolled to take approved college level coursework for credit towards both high school and college graduation requirements. Courses pursued by students under this program must come from the approved course directory which can be found on www.gafutures.org. Students are required to complete the college s online application, the Fulton County Contract, and Student Participation Agreement by the Fulton County School District s DE enrollment deadline of March 30 th. Students must show proof of acceptance to their Counselor by May 24 th, and be enrolled in their college class by August 1 st to continue participation in the program. Please go to www.ahsdualenrollment.weebly.com for more information. When selecting elective courses, we make every effort to accommodate all student requests. However, in order to maximize staffing allocations, there must be adequate demand for a course to be taught during a given school year. In instances where course demand is inadequate, we attempt to honor the alternate course request. FCBOE Policy Section I - Instructional Program, Title: Grading & Reporting #IHA: Students are expected to complete courses for which they are enrolled. If changes are necessary, they should be requested in writing by the parent/guardian within the first ten (10) school days of the course.

Course Name: AP Government/Politics: Comparative Course Number: 45.0530011 Term: Year Grade: 11-12 Prerequisites: See Above Description: The AP course in Comparative Government and Politics introduces students to fundamental concepts used by political scientists to study the processes and outcomes of politics in a variety of country settings. The course aims to illustrate the rich diversity of political life, to show available institutional alternatives, to explain differences in processes and policy outcomes, and to communicate to students the importance of global political and economic changes. Comparison assists both in identifying problems and in analyzing policymaking. For example, we only know

that a country has a high population growth rate or serious corruption when we compare it to other countries. Careful comparison of political systems produces useful knowledge about the institutions and policies countries have employed to address problems, or, indeed, what they have done to make things worse. We can compare the effectiveness of policy approaches to poverty or overpopulation by examining how different countries solve similar problems. Furthermore, by comparing the political institutions and practices of wealthy and poor countries, we can begin to understand the political consequences of economic well-being. Finally, comparison assists explanation. Why are some countries stable democracies and not others? Why do many democracies have prime ministers instead of presidents? In addition to covering the major concepts that are used to organize and interpret what we know about political phenomena and relationships, the course should cover specific countries and their governments.
