Assignment 26-Eliot Smith

This class was my first skill-based AP class, and it is easy to tell that this class is different from content-based courses.  Compared to content classes, the AP English class is much, much more laid back and much less stressful.  I believe that this class in particular is even more laid back and less stressful than the usual AP English class, due to the students that are enrolled (academy).  Mr. Logsdon, in my opinion, has a clear philosophy--if you want to fool around and learn nothing over the whole year and not take the AP exam, that's fine, just don't get in the way of those who actually want to further their skills as a writer.  And for those that actually do want to pursue a heightened writing skill, the resources to do so are very available due to the structure of the class.  I chose the latter, and I felt that this class improved my writing skills tremendously, and for that, I would like to thank Mr. Logsdon.  In the class, I don't feel overly pressured to participate and don't feel unmotivated in the least bit, and on the days that I just really wasn't feeling the whole English groove, I knew that I could sit out and spectate without being yelled at or pressured--I believe that this is one of the factors that contributed to my continued motivation.

Less Socratic Seminars though, after the 3rd one I wanted to bash my head in.
