Study a lot, and make sure you have a clear idea of what is on/ not on the test. You will receive formulas but you must know how to use them.

I personally enjoyed his class. Funny, nerdy, and interesting person in general. You do not come into his class thinking you can get a good mark easily. He is pretty lecture heavy so listen in class! Especially that he does not post the notes online, take good notes in class! On a side note, if you think he is a very difficult science/physics teacher, just wait until you take science in university.

Mr. Torelli is talked about among students as some super scary awful guy but this isn't true. Sure he doesn't put up with nonsense and he's a hard marker but he's always willing to help and has his student's best interest.
