You have to learn and work on your own. Learn beyond textbook. Textbook questions are too easy for the test. Make sure you listen
Tests are 50% but they are all open note. Make sure you do the review questions at the bottom of the notes since the tests are on concepts and ask you to explain your reasoning. Allows redoes on assignments, labs, and tests if you fill out Google forms.
An introvert's nightmare. But, it's worth it so you don't have to develop these life skills in college. Oral presentations are common, you will make videos, write a few essays. Follow his instructions, write down what he'll say about assignments. You will have to do a large project during the year, but if you split the work up, it is manageable. You will read a few books, he does class discussions. Write down notes for that and actually participate, it is easy points.
He teaches the material very thoroughly, but still use online resources and the textbook to continue your understanding. The tests are a little difficult, and do not be afraid to ask questions.
The class environment is always very friendly, and Sra. Silverman is always available to help. The course itself is very set-in-stone, and will have you working on various different topics and worksheets every single day.
