The class I'm discussing is AP Language and Composition. AP Comp will be one of the most difficult classes students at Redwood take, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't enjoy it. It is extremely difficult to earn an A in this class, although it is totally possible, but if you do your work and show up to class it isn't too difficult to get a B. Don't stress too much about your grade in the class and just appreciate and try to enjoy the work you do and you will not regret taking AP Comp with Mr. Hettleman.

Mr. Hettleman is a phenomenal teacher, mentor, and person. He is kind and always greets his students with a smile. In his AP Comp class, Mr. Hettleman allowed us to revise our final drafts for a higher grade which allowed me to further my writing skills by identifying and fixing mistakes that I had made in my essays. If you ask him for feedback on any piece of work in his class he will gladly help. I highly recommend that you speak to him about your essays throughout the writing process because he will help you create essays that you will feel proud to have written.
