Some of the classroom procedures included lectures, work sheets, tests, essays, and reviewing for the A.P. test. Moss explained, "We had worksheets that went along with the book, and then we had tests, hard tests; the high in the class was usually 80 percent. After that you try harder and harder." "You also have a big essay, you really have to study for those," stated Moss. "You have to support your opinion with facts, as long as you can support your essay it's right, even if he doesn't agree. He really respects your opinion." When asked what he got out of teaching, he stated. "You develop great friendships. It's just great having them (students) inmy class.
