Mr. Tidridge's entire class tends to rely on the final essay that is worked on throughout the entire course. While the course material taught is important, it is never tested on. Instead, students are encouraged to do their own learning and research towards their final essay topic with the guidance of Mr. Tidridge. I highly recommend you find time to meet with Mr. Tidridge after class to discuss your plan towards the end of the course since it can often be hit or miss with your grade without proper discussion. He is an excellent teacher. Love you tiddy.
