Mr. Whitehead believes in learning through practice. Expect to do some questions, which might be assigned as homework. They will be your best bet for passing this class. Moreover, responsibility is a recurring theme. He might intentionally not check your work-- still do it though, it'll reflect badly on your tests and quizzes if not. He breezes through units pretty quickly, but he is always open for questions in case you miss anything. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

The exams are heavily weighted, more so than tests. There is usually a formula sheet supplied to the class. The questions aren't pulled out of the textbook adn are very unexpected. Not all of the test material is reviewed in class, you will be assigned homework that'll befenit you in the test, However, if you don't do it, this class will definitely be a challenge.
