Screen-cast for Friday, April 23, 2021 - MOCK AP TEST INFORMATION & CORRECTIONS

Mr. Duez discussed:
  • Mock AP Test Results & Putting them in perspective. A 50% is not a bad score for the first one. 
  • Explained how to do test corrections. They are due next Friday.
  • Test for Unit 9 - Global is Tuesday
  • If you have any questions email me. 
If you missed the MOCK Test - It may take me a little while today or possibly until tomorrow to generate the make up test. Your make up exam is not my top priority at this time. Creating make up tests takes a lot of work for me. You will still have the deadline of Friday to get corrections finished. Stop putting off doing these tests until the last possible moments when issues can occur. Or not doing them and relying on my extra work to get this done. It simply isn't the right thing to do and far too many of you are slacking on this. Repeatedly. You are AP students, you can do much better than this.

Screen-cast for Tuesday, April 20, 2021

No Screen-cast today. Instead work on watching Heimler (links below) give you tips on how to answer the Multiple Choice on the AP Test. This is going to help you BIG TIME for the MOCK Test for Thursday and also on the AP Test in May.

Everyone will take the MOCK Test through Schoology. We will put that grade in the grade book, but it is for informational purposes only. Corrections applied to your MOCK Score will count as the grade. They will be due next week. 

Schoology has been down all day so far today, but your quiz for CH 15 is due tonight. Look over the notes for Environmentalism, and of course, read and take notes from Strayer's text. That text is what the quiz covers. Period. However, this is the LAST ONE. We usually celebrate being done with Strayer, so... yeah, horray! This year stinks not being able to celebrate in person, but it is what it is. 

If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
