it absolutely was. thankfully the teacher was damn good at it despite it being his first year ever teaching Pre-AP Spanish.
Most of the trash parts of it came from the obnoxiously difficult prep AP Test tasks we did (which was why I hated the class) but everything else was surprisingly great
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.
1984 by George Orwell.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
Joyland by Stephen King.
All of them are just really good books. There's a book for everyone out there, I'm sure. And if there isn't, it's only a matter of time 'till a niche book for a niche interest gets written.
took Pre-AP Spanish IV last year and this happened to me at least six times.
As you can probably expect I am not taking AP Spanish this year. Absolutely not, the type of stuff Collegeboard was asking of us we, we hadn't even learned yet. The stuff we did assumed our Spanish vocabulary was Shakespearan levels. 💔
