Was It Worth Coming To Andover For Dig This!?
I knew that Phillips Academy always had a good reputation, but I had actually never been to one of their courses, so I wanted to experience it first hand, Here was the essential question, Was Phillips Academy’s reputation all hype? At first, I wasn’t so sure, but over the course of the next five weeks I would soon find out if the Phillips Academy Hype was worth what it was said to be, or not.
It is worth it to go to Phillips Academy. The teachers were great and the staff was great overall. I really enjoyed going there over the summer, and I learned many skills and many ideas.
Three of the skills that I learned were how to keep my notes clean-Cornell Notes- which really helped me, how to write a higher order question, and how to budget my time. Three ideas that I have learned is that being organized is key to getting good grades, always keep a vocabulary list, and what is the difference between a higher order question and a reporter question. All these things will help me next years and the years after, so think you Ms. Tully and Mr. Newhall. Also the kids there were fantastic.
