Do the work and use the documents she gives you. Mrs altenberg doesn't just give you those articles for you to read... the answers are in their so reading them and critically understanding them are crucial to your success.

Ms. Altenberg's class was overall a great experince. It was really fun she always helped a lot when working on essays or assignments. She is always having a good time with the combination of helping us learn. I would say that she has been my favorite english class I have ever had.

There are teachers who are simply average, then there are good teachers, and then theirs Mrs Altenberg. When I say Mrs Altenberg changed my life, I mean it. Mrs Altenberg is the true definition of a teacher : a person who molds the minds of young people into becoming productive and happy. Mrs altenberg taught me how important I was to myself and taught me how important it is to love yourself. She taught me how to build credibility with my self, and how to become a better version of myself ever-day. Don't get the name "philosophy and literature" confused... this class is much more than just boring ideas and discussions. Truly use this class for al l potential it has to change your life, which it will if you let it

This class was honestly the highlight of my day junior year. She is a great teacher and she will always help you. Her class is very engaging and you will rarely be bored. If you get Mrs. Altenberg consider yourself lucky.
