Required Materials
Catholic Faith Handbook
Tablet PC
Semester One
The purpose of this semester is to understand more about the Roman Catholic Church, the Church’s worship forms and styles, especially with relation to the seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church.
Semester Two
The purpose of this semester is to enable students to understand the Church’s teachings on a broad number of moral issues, how those teachings were developed, and why Christians are called to live by high moral standards in this ever-changing world.
Goal
To grow as Christian persons in our knowledge and love of Jesus Christ through understanding how the Church worships and what the Church teaches about moral living.
Grades
A simple point system will be used. Grades will be based on quizzes (both announced and unannounced), chapter tests, homework, journaling, and short research projects.
Absences
It is the responsibility of the student to complete missing work.
If a student has a game or an appointment (doctor, dentist, etc.), he/she must tell Mrs. Murphy Dohn BEFORE class begins that day or the day before.
Students are responsible for any work missed during that class. If an assignment is due on that particular day and the student is in school for part of that day, he/she is responsible for turning in the assignment to my office, even if he/she actually misses my class for a game or appointment. If a test/quiz is scheduled for that day, the student needs to arrange to take the test during a free mod that same day or on the next school day.
Any missed tests and quizzes must be scheduled within the first two days the student returns to school after an illness. Make-up schedule for extended illnesses will be flexible.
Academic Honesty
The John Carroll Handbook states: “Our mission is ‘to graduate persons of integrity whose lives are based on religious and moral principles.’ The purpose … is to preserve and promote the ideals of honesty, trust, and personal integrity.” In the academic realm students are bound to refrain from lying, cheating, stealing, and plagiarism.
Honor Code
“I commit to uphold and promote, by my actions and words, the values of honesty and respect for others in our John Carroll community. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, and I will work to discourage the behavior of others who do.”
Final Note
I really look forward to having a great year with my new freshman students as they are in my only class for this school year. My Campus Ministry responsibilities encompass the majority of my time here at school.
It is my hope that every freshman has a wonderful experience at John Carroll (especially those in my class!), and gets involved in this very caring and busy school community!
If I can ever be of assistance to any of you, please do not hesitate to call or email me anytime.
Have a wonderful year!
