- Don't use just slides for this class. You have better luck just watching the video. - Videos are really helpful and cover points harder to understand by slides. - The only work you get is like a project which you get over 2 weeks for. - There is rarely any paper work given for review. - Be ready with paper because the teachers randomly gives hints on what is in the quiz or test throughout lesson. - The test review prepares you alot for the test. - There is the quiziz website he uses for review, although its not worth marks. - Don't forget to separate references for image and actual sources - If you just strictly follow the rubric and make sure you don't miss anything, full marks is possible.

He is great with posting upto date information incase you miss class. Slides and videos were posted a day early so the students would be prepared to learn in class. For extension, you will easily get one more week for submitting and your not expected to do your work during weekend. A problem is Most class time goes with the teacher explaining the slides and watching videos the whole time and every single day. Slides are not developed in a way where you can fully understand just by looking. So, class can go boring easily and kinda hard to focus with the teaching environment.
