I apologize for my tardiness in getting this up. The delay was due to technical difficulties. While you are here check out the links and the lectures. The bottom line- This is a tough class but you will not be left alone. You will be overwhelmed and frustrated at times but that feeling is what always precedes learning.
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.

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
