Summer School AM Blog Post 4

For the blog today, I'd like you to imagine you are explaining this class to a stranger who knows nothing about me, the content, or the purpose of the class. In 5-8 sentences what would you say to explain them this class, it's purpose, what you learn about, what the teacher is like etc.  

 "This class allows you to ease into school and makes it feel less off a chore and rather a beneficial experience. The purpose of the class is to provide a basic understanding of the world and the history of it. To be able to obtain this knowledge, we perform various assignments assigned to us in which we are more independent and personally learn the material. The class is heavily technological based, as we use laptops for most of our work and this is something I take a liking to. It is overall easier to type and I have a more intricate understanding of technology. In this class we learn of the 17th century to the 20th century. Mrs. Byars is very outgoing and a pleasant teacher to be around. She creates a personal connection with students if they are willing and truly does love teaching, or at least shows that she does. She has a unique style of teaching that is both fun and effective. Furthermore, she's very kind, funny, and friendly and is one of those teachers who you want to come back and visit years down the line just to see them." - Hayden

 "This class is amazing it wont only teach you about history but it'll also teach about life and tech. Mrs Byars is one of the most energetic, nice, wonderful people I've ever met and a great teacher. The subjects you learn is all of the revolutions all across the world not just America that's what i am learning so far. The French, Russian, American, Indian, British, etc. all these revolutions." Joel

 "This class is a tech environment that is fun and hard working. You will do everything on your computer and phone. The teacher is fun and is very helpful. She calls herself our number one cheerleader because she does not want us to fail. She will help you improve on what you are doing wrong and how to fix it. Then everyday has a new playlist which is pretty cool." Jake 

 "History with Mrs.Byars isn't just history, it's also like an introduction to technology. While learning history , you are also learning so much about technology too. The whole class is technology, all the work and assignments are done on their. It's an easier way to get feed back from you peers and the teacher, this helps you improve your work. She has very modern teaching methods, one of my favorite is the note taking, this note taking is different because while she's lecturing you can't type. She gives you time to write what you remembered, I've noticed that this helps me retain information better and it challenges me to remember more information." Ana 

 "This is the best History class to be in. The teacher is absolutely amazing. She teaches in a way that makes History fun. Her purpose is to be able to get you to realize that you can use History on a daily basis in your life. She wants you to be able to apply it to your life." Tyson 
Now I'd like you to explain how grades work in this class, you can also include your opinion about grading in this class. How does it work, what do you like about it, what do you not like about it? 

 "Grades are graded on a 5 point scale, and we can re-submit our work if we fix it after we receive a grade. I like how we can get a second chance if we need it in order to truly understand the subject material." Sebas

 "In the class, we have a five point grading scale. A four is exceeding expectation or an A. A three is meeting expectations or a B. A two is nearly meeting expectations or a C.I personally love this scale because its easy to understand." Jailene 

"The grades are based off the reflections and class work you have done during the period. If you get a bad grade on something , you have chances to make it better and improve your score and grade." Kaylee
