A letter to the Future Hosses of Sparta High School (:

Dear you awesome, praiseworthy, and totally Ba hoss of a student (I meant Barium teehee #nerdsrule),


Welcome to AP Biology! If you're reading this, congratulations you are probably totally awesome. Prepare to dominate this class and ultimately Sparta High School. Clearly, you are smart and have an interest in biology! I'm here to say that that is awesome! You will have a ton of fun in this class! Throughout the year we had many enjoyable conversations. Plus, Landry is a fantasic teacher and has a great sense of humor!

My advice will be the same to you as it always is to other students. There are three things you must do to be successful: work hard, pay attention, and study. That is it. It's as simple as that! That has been my motto all throughout my years here at Sparta. It got me into Michigan State and the top ten of my class. You will be successful if you do all of these things.

Good luck as you forge on through this school year! I am sure you will be successful! Oh, one last pointer.... DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. It is not difficult and will often times keep your grade alive (and by alive I mean an "A"). (:

Have fun this year!

AP Biology: Farewell to One of the Greatest Classes at SHS #biostyle #cellslayers

This class was extremely beneficial to me! As a senior now, I feel about a million times more prepared for college biology then I would have been otherwise. This class really went more in depth to subjects than general biology did. I relearned concepts that I had forgot in addition to learning more about the basics that I learned in general biology. One of the most helpful things we did in class was have discussions. We always had great conversations that typically spurred off another peers question. These discussions helped all of us to understand some real life applications of biology and how some of the concepts directly affect us. In general, this class made biology more relatable to me.

This class was extremely beneficial to me in terms of learning how to study and prepare for tests. Mr. Landry would give us assignments throughout a unit but, none of them would be due until the test. This helped me learn to pace myself with assigments and also taught me never to slack off! This will be invaluable to be as a college student! Knowing how to self regulate and pace yourself through school work will be extremely important!
