Easiest class I've ever taken, just be prepared for essays and homework. It's really not hard as long as you follow his guidelines

I took Bostwick for AP Lang three years ago (class of 2019). I'm not sure if the class operates differently especially with everything online, but when I had him, it was quite easy. Very literature and analysis-heavy; we read two books, Cannery Row and the Scarlet Letter. Had lot of criteria for essays ("paragraph equity") but we were given grammar worksheets and guidelines on how to write a decent one. The regular course material was replaced by practice AP tests and essays as May neared. Not a hard class and definitely encourages us to critically think, but the homework can be tedious at times.
