Stay with the course, even through the first few months of writing. It will get much easier after the first one or two units. Dr. Allan will always give great feedback, make sure you try to apply it to your future works. If you do the improvement will be huge!

Dr. Allan is one of the best teachers at Redwood High School. I had her for AP Comp and she will walk you through all steps needed to become an excellent writer. AP Comp is a strenuous in the first two months. You will probably write more essays during these months than you previously had in your whole life. The feedback will be tough, but if you apply to future work the improvement will be massive. And as always, feel free to reach out for help, she is always there, very approachable, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get you to that next level.
