Welcome!




I have included some comments.  In parenthesis are the # of times the comment was repeated.  Read through them and leave a comment to prove you we here.  By the way- check out the lectures, songs and links while you're here.

Here are the comments of students from this year:

  • Focus!(6) Don't get distracted by self-doubt.  Have confidence.(3)  You can learn to pass this test if you listen to Mr. Parker.(12)
  • Take good notes! (9) Color code your red lines!  Remember trash in, trash out! (2) Try your best and always do one hour of homework.(21)
  • The class is great.  (6) Take practice tests and buy the AP book.
  • Answer the Prompt.  Prepare early.(3)
  • Get ready to work you get what you put in.(8)
  • Don't be lazy, don't procrastinate.(13) Don't loose your notes.
  • Don't be too hard or too easy on yourself.
  • Discuss the red lines in your groups.(2)
  • Ask questions (7) and look up information on your own time.
  • Learn the songs! (4)
  • Don't give up.  (3) This a hard class but it's fun.(2)
  • When you have a project due, don't wait until the last minute to start it.
  • Make sure you speak up!  Participate.
  • If you do your work you will pass.  Be organized
  • It is really fun, don't get on Mr. Parker's bad side, and don't worry.
  • You need to be on top of this class from day 1.
and my favorite:
  • Listen!  Mr Parker always seems to be right.  (He is an AP Genius.)  Summaries and Red Lines are the most important!  Study and brief for the AP Test all year.  Just studying a week or two in advance will not help.  
I am looking forward to hearing from all of you!  Enjoy Summer!
Peace,
Mr. Parker
