Day 11 - The Last Supper

Today in WHAP, we looked at study techniques for the exam tomorrow and we did some practice questions. 

First, we started off class by Mr.Profitt emphasizing the importance of using the College Board review, which is located on the Moodle page. Then, in order of importance to study, he recommended the Princeton Review, Strayer, and then Crash course and the Freeman review. After emphasizing the importance of using these sources (some not all), we moved on to looking at video which Mr. Profitt made (@cprofittjcpstudents on youtube, you should really check him out), and then we had a light discussion about the AP scores of Jesuit and the scores of students all around the globe. Jesuit did seem to finish a bit better than the global averages. Mr. Profitt also mentioned how every year only one or two students don't pass the AP exam, and that he's never had a class in which everyone has passed. Maybe we'll be the first...

After this, we did some practice multiple choices using the clickers normally used for Clicker quizzes. The questions themselves really weren't that difficult in my opinion, because we had the stimulus. However, the time constraints each question has is what makes them difficult, because I feel like if I had more time I could find the answer. 

After answering a few questions, the bell rang and we were dismissed. I wish you all luck on the test tomorrow!

Day 1 - Resources and the Division of Time

Image
Wednesday, August 30th, 2017 Today in WHAP, we discussed resources for studying and started talking about periodization.           Today, we started class off by addressing some of the resources we have at our disposal, first in our textbook and then other sources such as the Princeton Review and my personal favorite; Google. What I realized about the textbook today was that it's packed full of helpful resources such as important questions outside the margins, which are then answered in the text, and chapter overviews along with AP questions to help prepare for the big test later in the year. After seeing the all that the AP exam entails, I'm a little anxious for that in the Spring; however I'm sure we'll all be ready for it when the time comes.           Moving on from just the textbook, we also have resources in the study guide like videos to help understand the chapters and very detailed chapter outlines so that we can get a general knowledge of the material

Day 146 - Mega Super Omega Giant Clicker Activity

Today in WHAP we reviewed for the AP exam. We practiced today by using the clicker quiz technology to practice some MC questions for the exam. I did... amazing. Like if that mirrors the AP exam in difficulty I'm finna ace it. That was all we did today, but if you need to review concepts, perhaps concept 3.2, you should check out this neat video online . It's really good and you will understand everything better. It can be found right here . Or here . Maybe here . You should click on it . Also, to the one person that disliked the video... say it to my face, don't hide behind the anonymity of a thumbs down button. With that, the bell rang and we were dismissed. Until Tomorrow!

Day 153 - The Final Reflection

Image
Today in WHAP (or rather several days ago) we had our last class. So to start this reflection off I'm basically going to go over my personal feelings about the class. For starters, lets go from an academic standpoint. Right from the first day, WHAP is probably going to seem scary. You're going to roll up to class, and Mr. Profitt is going to show you some musty image of someone getting sprayed with a fire house, because it's so much information. Sure, their is a lot to learn, but it's really not that bad. And that's kinda what you need to keep in mind in this class. You're going to get some low quiz grades, but there are so many that it will eventually balance out. You may get some bad mastery grades, but with revisions you'll make it an acceptable grade. Same thing with the information; if you kinda stay on top of things it won't be that bad. That's my feeling on this class; I think it was a difficult class but I wouldn't say it's im
