Oak Park High School Course Grading Guidelines and Classroom Expectations
Course Description:
Based on criteria from the Michigan Leagues of Academic Games and the Academic Games League of
America, students learn about academic concepts and examine academic research to be able to compete
in either of the following games: Equations (mathematics application), On Sets (set theory), Wff ‘N Proof
(logic), Presidents (History and Social Studies), World Card (current events – topics vary each year), Theme
(topics vary each year, i.e. Greek Mythology), Propaganda (persuasive arguments), LinguiSHTIK (grammar
and vocabulary), and/or On Words (phonetics and word roots). This course is designed to mirror the
requirements for competition in the Michigan Leagues of Academic Games (MLAG), and the Academic
Games League of America (AGLOA). As a student in the class, you are considered a member of the OPHS
Academic Games Team.
The League
The league hosts divisional tournaments monthly at various schools in the Detroit area. In March, a
statewide tournament is held over a 3-day period in Grand Rapids, MI. Success at the MLAG tournament
may result in an invitation to participate in the AGLOA Competition. You are expected to participate in at
least 1 regional tournament. It will count as one of your tests. If you are interested in attending the MLAG
tournament, there is a cost, and you will need to attend at least 3 regional tournaments. Fundraising
opportunities will be available to offset the cost of attending the MLAG tournament.
NOTE: Currently, the 2020-2021 COVID contingency plan is incomplete.
