American Government B – FX

Flex Course Overview:
American Government B is a course designed with the flexibility to help students complete their coursework at their own pace and schedule. Students may bypass portions of unit content and assignments by showing mastery of materials and objectives if they choose the option to challenge a unit by taking the challenge test. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. This course is divided into eight units with course work (including computer and teacher graded assignments) and a unit exam. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. There is no high-stakes final exam; just shorter incremental exams in each unit, two of which must be scheduled with a proctor.
Course Description: 
This course is the second semester of American Government required by the Idaho State Standards. We will learn more about the other two branches of government–the Executive and the Judicial. You will get to learn more about the federal and state government as we examine the many jobs of the president and the bureaucracy that affects our daily lives. We will also examine some of the many domestic and foreign policy matters that involve American citizens and foreign countries. The U.S. Court system helps us settle disputes and we will look at some of the landmark decisions that affect us all. The final section compares our government to other nations to see some of the differences in the rights of citizens and the different types of governments. Welcome aboard; let’s get underway on our adventure in government!
