Assignemnt 26- Angelica Malkowski

I think writing essays and doing multiple choice tests every month was helpful and prepared us well for the AP exam. I think that perhaps some more in-depth looks at why certain essays are better than others could be helpful, particularly at the beginning of the year. I know this was done, but I think some people who already struggled with writing coming into the class may have been “left behind” as it were. However many people find reading essays in class a long and sometimes tedious process, and are therefore less engaged. So I understand a delicate balance must be made between the two, which may even vary year to year.

I think perhaps some review (an overview of the test and what you need for each essay, tips, etc.) at the end of the year before the test could be helpful. Additionally, the time given around AP tests for studying and doing what we personally needed was very helpful, relaxing, and considerate. So, again, there is a delicate balance.
