Cuatro Mas Dias!

It seems odd to me that we are at the very end of our time together. AP Comp was has an extremely different tone to it than any other class that I've taken. It was the only class that I've taken where the students have gotten really pissed at each other, but several moments later it was like nothing happened.

This discussion based class has taught me a lot about other people. There was an array of different opinions and beliefs on a wide variety of issues. I saw how people initially reacted to the readings and clips, as well as other people's reactions to their responses. From a different stand point, observing the AP Comp class is almost like a sociology class.

On a different note, I have to say that I enjoyed this class overall. It presented frequent challenges that made me find new ways to get around them. I learned how to communicate more effectively, find alternate readings, and how to BS things that I neglected to do.

It's a mystery of where we'll all go from here, things will come and go, but I will remember AP Comp.

  1. I definitely agree! The discussions we had were for sure my favorite part of this class, which is probably why I didn't enjoy the second half as much as the first. I really liked the choice essays and it really did teach me a lot about the people in our class. :) I guess I didn't really like the history-based part of this quarter, but I appreeciate it now that it's almost over. I hated writing those essays, but they actually did make me a better writer. I guess it's true that when something doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger. So I guess it's kind of a bittersweet end. I wish the quarters would've been reversed, but I'm pleased at the progress I've made!
