Assignment 26: Katie Chen

Overall, I do believe that the timed writings were beneficial. As much as I dreaded grading mine with the entire class, our class discussions did help me to become a better writer. I was scared that someone would absolutely roast my paper and tear it apart, but thankfully, that never happened. The timed writings and grading sessions helped me to be able to organize my thoughts quickly and prepare for the AP exam.

Although doing several multiple choice practice tests in class were helpful, I just wish that we spent more time going over them. I wish we were given some strategies to employ when taking the multiple choice part of the exam. 

As for things that could be improved about the class, I think the visual literacy assignments felt out of place. In class, we would go over the test and grade essays, but none of it actually pertained to what the visual literacy assignments were about. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed making an advertisement about post-it notes, but I just didn't see how it related to what we were doing in class. If there was someway we could integrate the visual literacy assignments and content into class, that might be more beneficial.

Overall, I do feel prepared for the exam, so thank you.
