He's a very easy marker on all his assignments, just make sure you're thorough and follow the rubric. His tests are very similar to his notes and almost completely multiple choice. Just make sure you review the study guide he gives out, usually he'll even tell you what topics the long answer questions will be on, and you should be good. When I had him, the exam was almost entirely multiple choice with 2 short answers and 1 long answer where you could choose between 5 topics. Great teacher. The class if very engaging. Make sure to participate in the group/class discussions and raise your hand!
