Mr. Quigley is not a strict marker, though his tests are extremely lengthy (to the point where you're not worried about knowing the content, but the time limit). They often include 20 multiple choice, 5-10 short answers, an article with roughly 5 questions, and additional material that relates to the unit you're learning (ex. balancing formulas, drawing ray diagrams). During tests, be prepared to keep your short answers at an appropriate length (max 3-4 sentences), while including necessary information. His multiple choice is rather difficult and can be confusing at time, as he writes them himself, so don't expect high marks for quizzes. Don't ask ChatGPT to generate multiple choice questions for you, because the questions you are going to receive relies on application (ex. long, personal, scenarios). Multiple choice options are similar and sometimes inappropriate for a school setting. For Grade 10 Academic Science, he rarely hands out test reviews (only for the exam), so be prepared to study all content. To make it easier, I suggest summarizing his PowerPoints after each lesson and skip fun facts because they do include a bit of rambling. Furthermore, pay attention to the information he writes on the whiteboard, because he will put them on the test. For Grade 11 Environmental Science, test reviews are usually provided, so making notes are likely unnecessary. Mr. Quigley's labs are relatively easy and don't require studying if you focus in class. But, during the frog dissection, make sure to know how to identify organs on a frog diagram. Finally, even though it seems insignificant, remember Quigley's Guide to Academic Success, because he will put that on your first few assessments. Knowing StarWars facts are also pretty useful (hint: they're always added as bonus marks for every single multiple choice). Overall, Mr. Quigley is a great teacher and you're lucky to have him. You should succeed in his class as long as you follow his guide and watch the time during tests.

Save all notes from class for the exam as she will only take answers from her and the textbook she uses.
