ms ferry is very big on terms and definitions, so after she introduces a new concept go home and review what you learned until you got it down pat. she calls most quizzes "pop quizzes" but she'll let you know when they're coming almost to the exact day (within a 2-3 day range). she doesn't weigh assignments and culminatings correctly on the brightspace - for example, a term-work project and the culminating mock trial are weighed the exact same even though the mock trial should be 15%. she is also very very big on class participation so raise your hand in class at least once every day, even if you don't know the answers exactly she still appreciates educated guess.

Just listen to her instructions and you will do really well in her class. She is definitely one of the most straight forward and competent teachers at Monarch Park.

Make sure your on time and are doing your homework, she does daily homework checks so make sure its done, will always take time to explain if you dont understand but make sure to be good and not get on bad side.

Just take good notes and don’t get on her bad side

One of the only classes I've ever been in where I felt like I actually gained something from coming to class rather than just studying the content online. One of the most engaging teachers I've ever had.

Ms. Ferry is for sure going to be one of the best teachers you will ever have. She knows what she is doing and she always makes sure her class is interesting. You will always leave her class learning something new every day. I feel bad for those that don't have her at least once in high school. She is by far the best teacher at Monarch Park Colligate
