I had Ms. Ferracci for grade 10 pre-IB history. She posts all of the PowerPoints she uses to teach online, and I recommend printing these out before the lesson. Write down anything she says that's not already on the PowerPoint. Sometimes you will have to read pages from the textbook and make notes on them -- be sure to do this, as the test material is based off both the information in the textbook and the information in her PowerPoints. Sometimes questions similar to the homework ones appear on tests, so I recommend doing the homework. The exam isn't too bad, but there's a lot of writing, so use point form where you're allowed to and try to keep your answers brief.

Overall she was a pretty good teacher. She gave really good feedback on tests and presentations -- she would give a lot of it and tell you why you lost marks where you did. I liked her lectures, though I found that she did go a bit quick at times. Sometimes she would also go off-topic in the middle of lectures with stories about her personal life. These were generally enjoyable to listen to, but not always relevant to the lecture.
