[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not for writing. They also seem to want more hand holding/ material presented to them in a very handy/dandy, formulaic way.[/quote] Could this be related to increased AP classes. Students think they are taking a "college level" class, but the constraints of HS grading policies mean that teachers need to break everything down into smaller assignments, which I see as more handholding (academically) than a typical college class and does not prepare them for doing college work.[/quote] My AP classes are very demanding. But the recent redesigns have uniformly made the tests much easier. Sorry to say that they were worried about the "achievement gap" and wanted to solve it by adapting the exams. Individual teachers can still require a lot of writing in their classes.[/quote]
