Summer Reading Requirement, World War II (271-01/02)
Classic WWII Autobiography
by Guy Sajer
ISBN 0080374379
"This unique WWII memoir gives readers an eyewitness account of
the savage war in Eastern Europe. An eloquent narrative, likened by critics to
Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front." The New York
Times called this book "Simply as a record of an unfamiliar aspect of World War
II - the Russian campaign from a German viewpoint - The Forgotten Soldier
is fascinating. It has even greater interest as a painful personal history, with
reticences as significant as its disclosures....I don't think that anyone who
reads [it] to the end will ever forget it."

7.GRADING POLICY:
Grades are based on a point system. This point system is

grade is calculated by the percentage of the points earned against the points
available in the grading period. Points are derived from quizzes, tests,
homework, classwork, projects, research, class participation, conduct,
etc.
Mid-quarter and quarterly grades are determined based on the
results of scores earned on tests, requirements assignments and participation.
Normally each test will cover anywhere from five to ten chapters in either book.
Point values as follows: tests=150 points, quizzes=10/20 points, Essay=100
points and Research Requirement=200 points. In some chapters additional homework
or quizzes may be used with these attached values. Quarterly grades will be used
in the determination of the semester grades as indicated below.
