ALWAYS PRACTICE. Practice truly does make it perfect when your in this class. Socializing is also extremely important, you will most likely find your kind of people there if you do. Personally, I've made friends with people that I didn't even talked to before and now they are considered some of my most closest friends. Communication is also a key factor, do not be afraid to ask questions and address any problems at hand with those around you. Overall, just have fun and enjoy singing with others that enjoy the same thing.
This class is really easy to get an A in if you complete all your work on time. Most homework is graded on completion and if you answer the prompt. The quizzes are worth a lot of points, but they are open notes. You won’t have to read the textbook because the lectures/slideshows will already have the notes you need. All the questions on the quiz come from the slideshows. There are also many reflective assignments where you will be asked to share your own opinions on the notes or other topics. Additionally, even though this is a US history class, Mr. Mijares has a college prep unit. We mainly get individual work time after lectures so if you finish your work fast, you essentially get the rest of the period to work on another class or take a break.
I would encourage students to participate as much as you can as participation is chunk of your grade, and it will help improve your Spanish. It is important to turn in homework every week as well, as the daily assignments for the week count as one whole grade. Do keep your vocabulary near by when doing assignments for reference. There is not a lot of tests, but when there are, it’s mostly multiple choice. And lastly, pay attention during directions because they most likely will not be repeated if you ask.
