Welcome to AP Language and Composition!
“In the largest study ever of the impact of AP on college success…the researchers said they found ‘strong evidence of benefits to students who participate in both AP courses and exams in terms of higher GPAs, credit hours earned and four-year graduation rates’” (Washington Post 1/30/2007) Furthermore, since AP students experience the rigors of a college course, they generally fare better in higher education than non-AP students, even if they fail to pass the AP exam.
This class is equivalent to a college-level freshman composition course, not only in academic rigor, but also in class expectations and structure. When noting an acceptable grade for an AP class on a student’s transcript, college admissions officers should have a reasonable expectation that the student applicant has experienced a college-level curriculum.
Consequently, you must make a commitment to prioritize this class by devoting your full attention and best efforts. In order to meet your commitment, you must practice quality work habits, including:
· Prepare for class by completing assigned readings, writing and research processes
· Submit all assignments on time
· Pay strict attention in class, and participate in class discussions whenever possible
· Always do your best!
