I’m in the class right now. And, it’s somewhat kicking my derriere. (Sorry, I’m a French student). My teacher is a joke. We sit in our ninety minute class taking notes for eighty-five of them. The notes, he gets them off this site that is easily accesible to our class. I print them out and read them while he dictates them to the class. I have a 70 in there and we only have like 5 grades. The book we’re using is World Civilizations: The Global Experience: AP Edition, 5th Edition. We have to read a 25 page long chapter a night, and after 3-5 nights he springs a 15 question reading quiz on us. I usually fail them as in C or below. But today I got the highest grade out of both periods, an 80, (B). And the ironic thing is I haven’t been reading the book, I’ve just been reading notes from online. Meh…the class probably wouldn’t be so bad if the teacher wasn’t such a fluffhead.

I’m worried though that the class won’t prepare for the AP Exam, because it encompasses so much material, and we are hardly doing much. Ugh, I’ll most likely have to make a study group or something.
