Biology Credit Recovery Packet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS CURRENTLY NOT PASSING MR. BURSCH'S BIOLOGY COURSE:


As you probably have heard by now, all San Jose Unified Schools have temporarily switched to a credit / no credit (pass / no pass) grading system for the COVID19-shortened second semester of the 2019-2020 school year. All assignments given and completed during the school closures cannot be counted for official grade credit, which means that if you had an F in my course and cannot get to a D or higher by turning in a few late assignments that were due before the closure, you have one final option--the document below offers all students who are not passing a pathway to a passing "credit" score. The document must be completely filled out--all questions must be answered--with a minimum accuracy of 60%. I must receive the complete document via email by May 29th in order for it to count.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the COVID-19 school closure, all of Mr. Bursch's classes have transitioned to distance learning via the internet. For AP Environmental Science, we will continue to use the AP Environmental Science page on mrbursch.blogspot.com as a repository for links to most course materials, but some functions will be provided by a new Google Classroom established just for WGHS APES 2019-2020. Below is the Google Classroom join code for my APES class. Please use this code to join your class as soon as you can. Log in to your school Google account and navigate to the Google Classroom app. Click the plus (+) symbol in the upper righthand corner and choose “Join a Class” and enter the class code. If you have any difficulties joining, please email me anytime.

Class Code: tksmic7

For questions regarding any course content in your Google Classroom, it is best to email me, but you may also use the comment function on each post in the Stream.
