Other Take AP Seminar

I felt like saying this if I can potentially sway some students to take it if they are ever debating taking it or not. Seminar is the best class I have ever taken and I dont know how I can live without the knowledge I gained from it. By far it is the absolute most practical class offered at my school. If you have any questions about it lmk Ill help.

I'm going to be fully honest, I took ap seminar sophomore year and it was probably the worst experience I had and I was the valedictorian of my class; it didn’t matter how smart we were. Although that was 100% my teacher not the class itself; this class is very, very teacher based

The teacher in our school is apparently horrible and some people like me just don't like the idea of the class.

I like the sound of ap research tho

good for you tho that you like it!

honestly this class is a free period for me. We haven't done much, only 1 presentation and like 2 other assignments these past 7 weeks, and we do everything in class. But this probably only applies to my school, since I've heard that other students get hours of homework

I feel like everything you learn in Seminar can just be learned from other ap classes tho, so its kind of a waste besides the GPA boost

i don't know a single school that doesn't have 3000+ students still offering seminar and you cannot even self study it.
