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.
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!
