Assignment 26- Julian Perry

There is a reason that you, Mr Logsdon, are occasionally referred to as LogDog. You are the "dawg," as the 90s would say. You are truly a great teacher and person (not to say that teachers aren't people!). This post is not about how great you are, however. This post is about how you can improve. 

I have no real complaints with this class aside from the second semester socratic seminars. They appeared too loosely governed from my perspective, or perhaps too strictly governed. Ms Moses (no offense meant at all, she was a great student teacher) seemed to hold the middle ground too often, in that either: 

1. when the discussion would wind down she would push on, preventing transition     or...

2. she would cut us off in order to transition. 

I enjoyed and benefitted from the activity, but the teacher's role in the seminar was inconsistent at best. I guess that my point in this rambling is that I wish we could better predict and control transitions from question to question. How to do this, I can't say. Either the student-run or teacher-driven aspect should be buffed, in my view on the topic. 

On a side note, I am extremely grateful for the opportunities to practice AP exams in your class. Those activities helped build our confidence going into the real thing. The graph is a nice visualization of our improvements as well.
