Review your notes regularly. I know, this is the same thing every teacher tells you, but I promise if you review your notes on the unit often you will do perfectly well on any assignments or tests you're given in this class. Also, pay as much attention as you can when copying down notes; examples will be done mid-notes and you will be given the chance to follow along and learn the process. If you ever need help with the material, Ms. Nickerson will always be there to help; all you have to do is show that you really want to do well, or better, and ask for the help you need. She has always helped me, after school, during lunch or flex, whenever I've really needed it. Overall, this can be a fairly simple and even enjoyable class; all you have to do is really take in the information being taught and ask for help when you need it.

Ms. Nickerson is a very kind teacher, as long as you treat her with kindness and respect as well. She's always happy to share a laugh with the class, but will still push you to work when you need it. She's made math class something I've started to find enjoyable; and although I still need to work on some of my work habits, her understanding and help has made me confident that I can improve if I try. Overall, Ms. Nickerson is a wonderful teacher and I'm very grateful to be in her class.
