“This course is for everyone. It is for the logic-oriented student who likes to have a specific answer for every question. It is for the creative student who likes to come up with new solutions for new situations. It is for those in between. Although it might not seem like an important course, this class helps students to understand real-world issues, come up with solutions, and even predict problems the world might face. The teacher does an excellent job preparing students for the AP test at the end of the year by reviewing the material and providing practice problems to do in class. I absolutely loved this class, and I was more than prepared for the test at the end of the year.”

“This class has taught me so much, and I loved it. Now don’t get me wrong, this was a challenging class, but the difficulty has been so rewarding. I am not a history person nor a geography person, but this course was interesting, and looking back, I’ve learned many things.”
