English Lit Too Reliant on AI

• Upvotes

Naturally, I am a very solid writer and an overall smart kid.

Nonetheless, ever since the creation and widespread use of AI, I am honestly like addicted to it.

Sure, I can produce my own ideas and know what I want to write about. But I can’t like formulate sentences without AI. Like it’s really really bad.

Before the AP Lit exam, I need to resolve this issue.

Any tips on how to stop?

Also, I know this is kind of a seperate question, but how do you write effective analysis without repeating yourself or being redundant?

Thank you!

Question Should I drop AP Lit this semester if I'm taking dual-enrollment Comp II next semester?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am a senior currently taking AP Lit. I originally signed up because I thought it might be interesting, but I never planned on taking the AP exam (I already passed the Lang exam, and most of the colleges I'm looking at only award credit for Comp I even if you take both exams).

Recently, I became aware of the option to take a dual-enrollment college Comp II course for the spring semester. I've already taken all the necessary steps to enroll, and I 100% plan on taking it, which means I will drop AP Lit and replace it with Comp II next semester. But, I have the option to continue taking Lit for the rest of this semester before dropping it.

I only need one more English credit to meet my high school graduation requirement, and a semester of Comp II fulfills this. If I continue to take AP Lit through the rest of the first semester, I would gain half a credit from it, meaning I would end the year with 1.5 credits of English from my senior year.

I initially wanted to drop Lit, but when I consulted my school counselor, they suggested I keep it because the extra 0.5 credit will act as a safety net in the event that I fail Comp II, as I would only need to scrape together another 0.5 credit for graduation. That being said, my counselor said it is highly unlikely I would fail Comp II, since I'm strong academically and already achieved a 5 on Lang.

However, I seriously do not enjoy AP Lit. Grading feels arbitrary, instructions are never clear, and I personally find it boring. I have an A in it right now, but because it's so hard to tell what my teacher actually wants, I can't guarantee I keep that A through the rest of the semester. Honestly, I don't think finishing this semester will be worth the stress, just for the small chance that I get below a C in Comp II, especially because I have other AP classes to worry about. The thing is, I am probably capable of doing well in that class if I don't drop it and try really hard.

So, should I stick it out for the rest of the semester? Would it be a bad idea to drop AP Lit just because I'm being lazy and don't want to use my energy on it? Also, am I miscalculating the difficulty of Comp II, and is it actually worlds more difficult than Lang or Lit?

I would greatly appreciate some input on this.

by no means am i a 4.0 student, however i normally only get 1 or 2 b’s per quarter and this quarter i feel like i’m falling behind. my junior year just started and i already feel as burnt out as i did at the end of sophomore year. i feel really stressed and struggle to avoid putting off my homework until really late at night which causes me to be sleep deprived, continuing the cycle. does anyone have any advice on how to stay on top of their work?

English Lit I just realized I'm not fit for AP Lit and don't know what to do

3 Upvotes

I'm a senior and have taken multiple math, science, and history APs in the past successfully but I didn't realize how much me not being a natural reader and writer would make AP Lit hell for me since I've done well enough in past english classes. This class has a much bigger workload than any other class I've taken in high school. I just got back my first major writing assignment and I got the worst grade on a major assignment I've ever gotten in my four years of high school. And I feel like I spend 90% of my homework time/effort on this class and I don't see any improvement or worthwhile results while the rest of my AP classes are manageable. But our school has a 2 week window for dropping down classes without showing a withdrawal on your transcript so now I feel like I'm stuck with this for the whole school year. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences?

Comp Gov AP Cogo unit 3 frq Checking

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, can someone mark my AP COGO unit 3 frq 4 essay.

Prompt:

Essay:

"Informal political participation is greater in promoting legitimacy within a country. Not every government is going to respond to formal participation, especially authoritarian regimes. Informal participation ensures pressure on the government and the legislative body, making the legislatures and the members of the government to make discussions they were avoiding.

In the United Kingdom, the government passed a tax law where every citizen, no matter the class or financial situation, had to pay the same fixed amount. The citizens tried responding to this bizarre law formally, by providing notices and reports on how this law should be reverted. The government did not respond until the people took it into their own hands and protested. Protesting is a type of informal participation; the protest turned out to be rather violent, but as a result of this protest, the government withdrew this law and enacted another tax law that was much more satisfactory. This shows how sometimes informal participation, protesting in this case, can be more effective than formal participation.

In Russia, President Putin has enforced control over all media in Russia. The citizens have found ways to combat this by sharing online activism and political related content on underground platforms just to not be suppressed. Online Activism is considered Informal Participation. Instead of falling for the formal participation, which gives an Illusion of Influence to the people through voting, through informal participation they have genuine real influence. The illusion of influence is when governments make people think and feel like they have power, while in reality they don’t. Forms of formal participation are just included to bolster political legitimacy and to suppress protests.

Some might argue that informal participation might get shut down by authoritarian governments. This is true to some extent: everytime a government shuts down a form of informal participation the people find ways to still share their opinion and influence the domestic policies of their country through online activism, boycotting, or protesting and public gatherings. 

In conclusion, formal participation is not effective since it gives illusions of influence and is just used to suppress the voices of the people (in authoritarian regimes). While informal political participation ensures the people have real power and influence against the suppressive governments’ wishes.
