Mrs. Cardiff
Welcome to AP Language and Composition!
DISCLAIMER: This is a college-level course and therefore requires college-level work, quality, discussion, maturity, and time-management. If you are expecting to pass this class and get an "easy A", you are in the wrong place. This course is fast-paced, rigorous, and approved by the AP College Board. If you do not feel prepared to put forth this level of dedication, you may want to withdraw. However, if you decide to push yourself and are willing to put the time and effort in, this will be one of the best college preparation courses you can take. If you find yourself falling behind, you need to talk to me!
Late work is NOT ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Plan accordingly.
