What did you like about the class?
I loved the actual content of the course. I think this course is so interesting that a teacher does not even need to make it anymore interesting for students to really enjoy taking the class.
What was your favorite activity or project?
Personally, I think projects are a bit of a waste of time. Honestly, any true student should not need projects to understand course material. They seem to be for those that are too lazy to study and need to be forced to understand at least some course material. Having said that, I enjoyed the sensation and perception project.
What didn't you like about the class?
Projects projects, projects...and activities...sometimes...see above for a better description of my opinion about projects. I also thought that a lot of the vocab that we took in notes was sort of unnecessary and could have been learned outside of class allowing for more time for the discussion and understanding of the concepts of the class. I think in an AP class, vocab is something that the students should be able to take responsibility for outside of class.
What do you think I should leave out next year?
see above...the projects and some vocab.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for things I could do next year in AP Psych?
Start doing the chapter at a glance thingys much earlier in the year. They seemed much more helpful then copying answers in a study guide or doing vocab. It forced comprehension and I respected that as a great idea.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for next semester in AP Econ?
NO PROJECTS PLEASE!!!!!!! I would hate that class if there was a single big project in there. I know it would make it more interesting, but we are not only going to be having major senioritis, but also suffering from heavy course loads. In reality, they would just make us hate the class even more!

haha. I like your intense opposition to projects. but they can be fun sometimes. I don't even think we did that many projects this year... we had the sensory perception one and the brain model. that was it I think.
I liked what you said about the class but I liked the projects, too.
I liked the class too. I agree with you about disliking projects, but I think that the STTS actually helped me more than the Chapter at a Glance.
i totallyyy agree about the project! but this class was prettyyy fun :)
