Keeping with our theme of easing back into the school year, watch the following 2 videos where I will discuss why you should take AP classes and what it takes to take AP classes. Then complete the short assignment found at the bottom of this page.
Wait!
Pause for a second before you go on.
NOTE: I know some of my videos can be a little long. Watch the short video on how to change the Video Playback settings for a simple trick that may help to speed things up a little bit.
