Mrs. Andrione was my teacher. She was nice, easy-going, approachable, and definitely helpful. AP Art History was the class. Challenging? Yes, but doable with some hard work. There was never a routine schedule, never leaving an opportunity for our palettes to be dulled. Sometimes she showed us power points, maybe we’d watch a movie, or perhaps we’d give group presentations. The topics were always kept interesting and your typical studying was replaced with practice exams and jeopardy. At the end of the year I got a five on my AP exam!
To summarize my AP Biology class there was one science fair project, one power point for notes on water, several failed exams, and busy work; worksheets that in no way prepared me for the three hour test that lied ahead, but only took me from 12:35pm to 2:05pm. After getting a much expected one on my exam, I realized that I came out of that class with no new knowledge about biology and that if I ever wanted to excel in a science class I would have to rely on my own initiative, rather than trusting my educator’s techniques.
