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.

• 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
