AP Info Sessions

I have an issue with the way that AP classes give out their information to students who are looking to join the classes. They are always done in very short time periods and the rooms become very overcrowded. It is difficult to listen to the information being presented because kids are always talking and not giving their full attention to the teachers who are describing the courseload.  I know this sounds like a problem with the kids who are applying for the classes but I think it would make more sense for teachers to give out websites where kids go online during their spare time and research the AP for themselves. This will weed out the kids who actually want to take the AP versus kids who just go to the meetings to hang out with their friends or get out of class. Putting the information online will also cause kids to stay in class and not miss time to go listen to the teachers talk about the AP's when they can just find the information at home. If the teachers decide to go this route to promote their AP's I feel like it would help with the process greatly.

  1. This is definitely very true! Considering I've attended in a few AP info sessions. It's a regular classroom overcrowded which makes it very hard to focus since everyone is trying to find a seat. Making a website definitely gives students an easier time to navigate and acquire what needs to be learned.
