Considering how simultaneously difficult and inane the AP Language and Composition test is, Joffre does a great job of nonetheless making his class interesting. The beginning of the year is very difficult, with writing assignments due every week that he grades with great skepticism, but if you persevere, the workload greatly diminishes and his grades become more generous, so that a low A is certainly achievable by the end of the first semester.

I rated Mr. Joffre lower on accessibility not because he isn't regularly conferencing with students but because his sessions with them are so thorough that relatively few slots are open. Thus, I recommend setting up appointments with him as far in advance as possible.
