Testimonials, cont’dTestimonials, cont’d My classes are wonderful. I believe your class has well

prepared me for classes outside of the Spanish subject. If anything, it prepared me more than any other AP class I have ever taken. Your short quizzes are very characteristic of what we call "quiz sections" at the University of Washington. In addition to a lecture class for a subject, once a week there is a quiz section where a short 5 minute quiz is given to help students understand what they do or do not know so far.

Also, the way your class is structured is very characteristic of subjects such as Geography, Political Science, and even Physics. The reading is done at home, and then discussed in class just as we have done in AP Spanish. Please let your students know that it will definitely pay off to work hard in your two AP classes.
