Assignment 26: Joseph Craven

     AP Lang has been a mixed bag of emotions for me this year. On one hand, the work load was relaxed compared to my other AP classes and I had plenty of free time in the class. On the other hand, there would be bursts of work that seemed nearly unmanageable and the routine essays of the class got really repetitive over the year. Perhaps my main complaint is that the critiques from other classmates did nearly nothing to improve my essays. Rather, tips on proper essay writing that came from the book and even your comments helped a lot. After all, I feel that my essay writing ability has improved over the year, which I guess means the class was a success. However, maybe next year spend more one on one time early in the year regarding essays and give more talks to the class as a whole as to how to fix large problems in essays. This would prevent the monotony that comes from reading 30 essays in a row while still allowing people to improve their essays in line with the AP standard.
