Assignment 26- Sarah

Overall, I loved this class. And I do not like English.

I appreciate that we got to express our concerns when we had them and that you listened to them. Our class was a good balance of fun and work.

However, there are a few things that could be changed to improve the class. Our visual literacy assignments didn't seem to serve a purpose other than another grade in the gradebook. I also wish we had gotten specifics earlier: typically you would wait to explain the specifics until people started asking about them. This is smart because it ensures that people will pay attention, however, sometimes in our busy schedule we would forget and then it felt like a very rushed project.

Our class discussions were normally very constructive, but they seemed extremely repetitive. The same people seemed to repeat themselves hundreds of times because people were making the same mistakes or they really focused on evaluating one piece of the writing. I think that it would be helpful to do things like where we traded essay between classes and did them in small groups to break up the repetitiveness of the class.

I felt very prepared when it came to the writing sections on the AP test, however I was not ready for the multiple choice. We did a few practice multiple choice tests in class, but I never really felt like they got easier. I think one way to improve that would to be to teach the type of questions they ask and how to go about finding the answer.

This was an unforgettable class and I am so glad I have been able to grow closer with my friends. Thank you Mr. Logsdon for providing an open and constructive classroom for us to learn.
