How do you grade?
50% of the final grade will be based on daily grades ( what is done and
collected in class for a grade. Not all daily work is graded. Quizzes will
count for 30% and the final exam for the nine weeks counts 20%. Any country
projects done will count as two test grades.

Yes, there will be country projects done during the year. I plan on two for 
now ( one on a country in Asia and one on a country in Africa) and each will 
count for two test grades.
