Student perspective on taking an Advanced Placement class from Mr. Lane. Student #1 Student #2 This class is very challenging. At times, you will think the pace is very quick but the work can be done, even when it seems it can't be done. You will have to spend time outside of school to make sure you learn what is expected of you. Make sure you read the readings/handouts before the due date. The class will be difficult as long as you make it difficult for yourself. The reality of this class is the expectation of work outside of class. Expect to be on task in the classroom or else you will be confused on what is happening. The expectations are high because you have been chosen to be in this class for a reason. To be successful, you'll need to plan ahead of time, stay on task, do your work as soon as possible, pay attention, and study a lot. Since parents and guardians are essential to the success of a student in an Advanced Placement class, they are to be included in this process. Therefore, please take pride in yourself and have a parent or guardian sign this notice and bring to class when the new semester starts.
