What you did well
-I appreciated the writing practice we received on timed writings. I feel it helped me with timing and also made me a better writer when we graded them. Allowed me to hear the critiques of other people and apply those to my AP test.
-I really appreciate Life Lessons with Logsdon. Especially the tid bit about how debt isn't necessary and such. It shows you care about your students or at least care alot about looking like you care, which doesn't really matter because the students will perceive it as caring nonetheless and this will better engage them.
-My favorite aspect of your teaching was the confidence you helped instill in us through the benchmarks and the AP score graph that broke down what you need on the MC and essay portions to see what score you got. I was able to walk into the AP test knowing I was a better writer than the average person who took that test, and that I would get an above average score. That confidence in itself helped me stay calm and that calmness translated into better, less frantic writing.

Your job was to get us to pass that test and I would say you did that marvelously.

What could be improved
-I personally enjoyed your class and understood that on the days where we had to read benchmark after benchmark, that it was a cumulative process and we had to do it, so that is not so bad. I would say I probably would've liked spending more time writing essays. And more toward the end of the year, the chance to write an essay to a prompt that I am not the best with like synthesis or whatever an individual struggles with to help get the last possible improvement.
-Ummm... Not really sure what else to improve on aside from dirty little nit picks.

Thank you Mr. Logsdon for helping me become a better and more confident writer as well as being a cool teacher, I am sure I am not alone in saying this but credit should be given where it is due. Enjoy summer break!!!
