FORMAT OF COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

The descriptions of course offerings at Captain Shreve have been prepared to list the content, requirements, time, credit, and prerequisites for the curricular program. The format is designed to match that of the registration sheet which is to be used by the counselor, teacher, students and parents in setting the student's course of study.

Course Title  (e.g.., English I) gives the formal course title.

Phase  the terms enriched, general, honors, and gifted indicate the academic level at which the course is taught. Special sections of math and English classes are available to students particularly talented in those areas. Students are placed in enriched or general phases based on the following criteria: 1) previous teacher recommendations, 2) standardized test scores, and 3) academic standing in middle school. Not all courses are phased.

Length of course  (e.g., full year, semester) designates the duration of the course.

Credit  (½, 1, 2) designates the number of credit units which are granted to the student upon successful completion of the course. One credit usually indicates a full-year course: two credits usually indicate a full-year double period course, and one-half credit usually indicates a one-semester course.

Prerequisites  (e.g., English I is a pre-requisite of English II) indicates what course or courses must be taken and successfully completed prior to enrolling in a given course. It would also indicate any other pre-conditions for enrolling in a course.

Corequisite  indicates courses which are taken during the same semester.
