This class was helpful for preparing for high school, especially when it comes to saving time on essays. He emphasizes basic essay structures like the claim, introduction, body paragraphs, and so on. While most people are already familiar with this format, it can still serve as a useful reminder. I also want to point out that a lot of students overexaggerate how difficult the class is. It really isn't that hard. The most challenging part is just knowing how to write an essay. Honestly, most of the rumors about the class being difficult are spread by the teacher himself, which is kind of funny now that I think back to it.

There's gonna be about 4 essays in total this year, only two are in class BUT these essays either make or break your grade, so practice the essay format earlier so it'll be easier for you later. 100%s on these ARE POSSIBLE!! So try your best, and don't get discouraged :)

Pay attention when he teaches you stuff, like essays because he won't teach it again. And don't ask stupid questions or he will be very condescending.
