The Electives Fair was the first day of school all over again for underclassman. They roamed the halls looking for classes to learn more about the courses before creating their schedule for the next year.
“I think [the Electives Fair] is useful depending on which courses you select,” said junior James Caracoglia. “I think the Electives Fair was made to talk about advanced placement classes.”
While many students believed that the time was sufficient to learn about the class, others felt it was too short to comprehend all the information.
“For me, the time wasn’t long enough because the teachers only gave an overview of the class and what the course was about,” said sophomore Ashley Yim.
Teachers used the Electives Fair to promote courses and inform interested students of the topics covered during the course of the year.
“This year, the Electives Fair was well-organized,” said human anatomy and physiology instructor Ann Starr. “I had huge turn-outs, more than I have had in previous years.”
Teachers discussed the course agendas and features of the course that students may not have known about.
“It’s a great way for the students to see the room and learn about things that they wouldn’t know about like the field trips we go to and the labs we do in class,” Starr said.
For new students, the Electives Fair was met with mixed emotion on how helpful it was.
“I think there should have been more sessions and instead of just asking the teachers,” said freshman Chang Song Yoon. “It would have been nicer if we could actually see the class, but overall it was really helpful for freshman.”
