1. Take advantage of his redo anything policy, it's a real lifesaver, and applies to every assignment except the diploma exam (obviously). 2. Most of the material tested on will be taken straight off the slideshow, there are no tricks or surprise topics. This makes the tests very easy and very predictable 3. Not everything will be counted for marks, but it's still important. This material will likely come up on the test, so don't brush it off.

Mr. Hughes is an absolute lifesaver for students, and I cannot overstate how far he goes for students and their success.. He is constantly available during his lunch hour, before class and after school as well. He cares deeply for students and their success, both in and out of the classroom. Marks papers extremely easy and has a Redo Anything Policy when it comes to tests and quizzes. He tries as much as he can to not give out too much homework or notes, and even spends his own personal money on historical objects to bring into class. Overall, an amazing, easygoing teacher with a great sense of humour and a genuine love for learning and the students he teaches.
