Assignment #26

Overall I thought you did a good job of teaching the class and teaching to the AP test. There were some things that I found helpful and some that I found somewhat ineffective. One of the most effective activities that we did was the congress in class at the beginning of the year. Hearing what other people had to say about your essay and receiving live feedback was very helpful and definitely gave me good tips to improve my writing in the future. I also think that doing a large number of practice essays really helped, because it gave us a feel for what kind of questions we could get and what the time constraints were like. While some activities were effective there were also some ineffective assignments. One assignment that I felt didn't help at all was the online peer reviews. It was good to see what other people had written but I don't think anyone actually went back and read all the comments on their essay so these peer reviews online never really benefited everyone. I would've much preferred to continue doing the in class congress. I hope you take my advice and use it to improve your class in the future. But I thought as a whole the class did a good job of preparing us for the test.
