<p>"vocab terms, except you're required to write a paragraph for each. they don't help us in the least bit, yet she expects us to do them and grades them."</p>
<p>You should be thankful you have that. It's busywork, and it ensures you'll get a good grade if you do all of those even if you get a bad test grade. The only thing that's graded in my class are DBQ's and MC tests. So, basically, everything is determined by those two grades.</p>
<p>I guess it's a good add-on grade, but it's only like 10% of our final average (homework grade). The only other grade we get are the MC tests, and those are complete beasts. Most people in my class have C's.</p>
<p>spiffy we do that too except our ID's are not due every nite</p>
