Listening to the explanations. Rather than memorizing the material - fully understand the terminologies and the concept of the subject and that'll make it easier for you to write tests and quizzes! Memorizing was the strategy I used in the beginning of the year, but I found that throughout the course, I dropped by the classroom to seek help from the teacher to have a full grasp of the subject and it became second nature to me.

Absolutely amazing. When I learned from his class, I really became sad after writing the exam because I'm certain I won't learn from another teacher just like him ever again. I think his profession is a mix of immense knowledge and confidence on the material, as well as genuine passion for teaching and explaining physics to both curious/indifferent students. It made the classes a whole lot more fun even when the actual activities aren't even supposed to be fun.
