For her law and politics classes, there is a lot of writing involved. Spend most of your time reviewing all of the case studies you learned in class! Her test layouts are the same for any class you're in with her. There is typically one page of multiple-choice (related to case studies, definitions, and key parts of the law you were taught for the unit). There are some short answer questions related to definitions and case studies. The long answer question is basically your opinion on something in law/politics. My advice for the long answer question is to justify your answer with LOTS of key materials from the unit.

In her history class, pay attention to detail!!! She honestly cares more about quantity than quality. Analysis is secondary to evidence, which is typically not the case. Don't fall behind on your notes because it can be really difficult to catch up.
