From English CP: The class is pretty easy tbh. She doesn't really give us much homework and we write an actual full essay about 2 times Both semesters included. The bad thing is that she doesn't respond to any emails(you have to talk to her in-person), she barely has any time to help students after class/school, and doesn't accept any late assignments. You just have to participate, do your work, and study for the tests and you will get an A. Good luck!

Three words: READ, THE, TEXTBOOK!!! The answers to the chapter tests are almost entirely within the book. Reading them, and UNDERSTANDING them, will give you the highest chance of success. It is also important to have analyzation skills. Multiple choice does rely on memorization, but it is more about how you approach the question. 1. Identify what the question is SPECIFICALLY asking! 2. Single out the most logical answers. 3. Use your memorized information to prove why this answer is correct. (If no answer makes sense, make an educated close guess). As long as you understand the textbook material and have a basic sense of history. You'll do good. Good luck!

Do the Qs and Is (Questions and Identifications). They're there for a reason. You'll be able to retain the knowledge by doing them and do well on the tests, which are every week on Friday. However, DO NOT procrastinate on the Qs and Is, otherwise, expect to be pulling all-nighters every Thursday for the entire year. There's lots of extra credit (you could have an F- test average but still have an A+ in the class), so there's no rounding. In class, you'll be taking video notes and having meaningful discussions on the various topics, and every so often, expect to write SAQs and DBQs. March through May, you undergo intensive review, writing essays everyday, but it's worth it as the APUSH exam pass rate is 75%, and the 5 rate is approx. 25%

As long as you put in the effort, you should do fine. Do your homework, and if you're struggling on your openers, do the practice openers before school (or snack). They are almost the same as the ones you will take at the beginning of class, so you should have no problem. Mr. Brose is a great teacher that makes things easy to understand, so don't worry too much as this class (in my opinion) is designed for you to succeed.

Considering the fact that I took a CP class and not his Honors Biology class, it seemed slightly difficult, but manageable. Don't be afraid to ask him questions for certain assignments. He's also available for tutoring. The assignments given in his class require a general understanding of the topics, but self-study is encouraged if you want to get an A. He provides most of his materials online, such as textbook pages, quizlets, and homework assignments, so put that to good use. Good luck!

This is for AP Chem: Very chill teacher for the most part. You will be on your own for the labs and have to think critically. Tests are very important and it is essential that you understand all the concepts behind the calculations so you can adapt during the tests. For the AP test you will have to learn and study a lot of the concepts on your own. Don't take this class if you are not strong in math. I'd recommend only AP Calculus level students take this class.

Remember all the specifics the teacher asks for. An example for this is to write the x= part in the quadratic formula. Most of the points are usually marked down due to miniscule remarks such as this.

I had Maestra Fidel for Spanish II and Spanish IV, and both times have been a pretty enjoyable experience. She is a great teacher who clearly has a passion for her job. A lot of students tease her for that, but I honestly admire that. Someone who enjoys their 9 to 5 job? That's someone you don't come across often. It's a Spanish class, so of course you are required to memorize vocabulary, form sentences, and all the other key aspects of learning a language. I feel like she did a great job of always uplifting her students and trying to make her lectures interesting and topically relevant. Tests/quizzes were hardly ever given, but when they were given it was pretty easy. The class should be a breeze if you participate and listen!

The homework is just writing practice usually taken from the textbook. It can be tedious but it helps drill terminology and skills like rhetorical analysis. Just do the homework and your grade will be fine.

Mai

For AP Calc BC, Mr. Mai has his signature "authentic learning, " which basically means "optional homework and I strongly encourage you to come get help in office hours. " I had him in his third year teaching the class, and our class oftentimes had to self-study with Khan Academy. He loves when people interact during class and will hold office hours before school, at snack, lunch, and after school. He also offered "interview retakes, " which basically meant that if you got a really bad quiz score you could interview with him to see if you got better afterwards, then retake the quiz for full credit. The lines are often super long, but he has a huge heart and will try to accommodate all the students to the best of his ability. Ask him questions during class and after class, as it's probably the best way to stay engaged with his long lectures about silly jokes and calc.

Middleton

  Add A Review
AP Psychology is fun, interesting, and entertaining, especially with Middleton, but it is not easy. You will need to work for that A. Tests are on average every two weeks and multiple choice, although there are some essay exams. Pop quizzes are very common. Notes are prewritten by Middleton and you have to print them out and follow them in class. You will be expected to participate during lectures - and it counts for a grade. You'll get to do wacky things throughout the year like design a movie poster, make a personality mask, and critique film. Also at the end of the semester, the class with the highest class test average gets a donut and pizza party.

Courses are weighted. If you get an 85% on a test it will pull your grade down a lot. If you're at an A, that is. Just make sure to not go off task you will lose points Try to get on her good side do the flashcards whenever you can, there WILL be surprise quizzes,

You won't be taking very many quizzes or exams, other than your finals. Rather, there will be little activities that she will have you do in class (and sometimes out of class) to assess your abilities. These range from three to ten points, usually, but you'll definitely want to put in the effort, as there aren't very many things that she puts in the gradebook. One missed assignment could potentially drastically drop your grade several percents. Participate as much as you can because she pays heavy attention to that. Maestra Quini is very approachable so if you have any questions or need help, you definitely should ask her. She will set aside time for you to meet.

- take notes in class - ask questions either during class or break time - attend his tutoring sessions ran by ap chem students if needed - do practice tests before test at least once, his test is really similar to it - do the assignments on time that count for grade

This is the best English class in the entire school, from the bottom of my heart. If you want to genuinely learn literature and become goated at research papers, Mr. Varieur will set you up for success. The first part of the year is doing college apps, then literary terms, philosophy, Raisin in the Sun/Death of the Salesman, Hamlet/Othello, and then Beloved. There's a bunch of mini group projects in between, so make sure you choose a great group of people who you know will get stuff done with great quality. This class is very 50/50, you can procrastinate most assignments and get away with it but there's a huge research project and a bunch of play annotations which you absolutely have to work on in class. He lets everyone go outside to work which is a wonderful breather but also a huge distraction, so make sure you can lock in when you need to. Overall the material in this class is very straightforward, he hands it to you two months in advance but since the list of stuff is so long you can never really get ahead. If you do stuff at the pace he says you should do it, you'll be very comfortable. This class is infinitely better than any of the Lang classes (except Mrs. Terry, she was tuff) so if you have a passion for government/law, english, or anything related to social studies and humanities, take it.

I took MUN all four years and had Wat freshman and senior year. For freshman World History MUN: Mr. Wat is one of the most interesting and passionate teachers you will meet at CHS. He wants to make sure that everyone feels comfortable in the MUN program, so he has a lot of group social activities planned. Many kids go in with a fear of public speaking or socializing, and come out as some of the best speakers in our whole town. The World History portion is very straightforward- he presents things on the TV for you to take notes, and collects them for points sometimes. There'll also be a bunch of assignments, including a massive group project where you enact an event in history (e. g, collapse of the Berlin Wall or end of World War II) which is super fun and always brings back good memories when you get older. The tests are around 200 questions, but many are easy and around 50 of them are of the World Map. You'll color in your Asia, Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa maps and be pretty familiar by the end of the year. Moving on, the Model UN part of the class changed my life. You learn to discuss political stuff, give speeches, and do research papers, which sounds scary but is actually pretty chill when you realize everyone's learning the ropes too. If you put in the work and push your friends to get awards and succeed, you'll understand the crushing defeat and immense joy that MUN can bring. You just have to be willing to learn. There will be DAO Workshops, which are basically freshman help workshops, where the juniors help you guys prepare for everything. It's like a big family and the best organization/club at CHS, easily. For senior Civics/Econ CP MUN: Mr. Wat is one of the goofiest teachers at CHS. At this point if you've made it this far, you earned your spot and Mr. Wat thinks you deserve to be there. Wat talks about a lot of modern stuff like stocks, government, finance, and has like five projects which are okay. You get married to your friends, start a family life, do advertising/marketing, run for president/representative, and do all sorts of real-world business stuff. His grading system for the presentations is wack, but as long as you do all your assignments and do extra credit you will get an A. Same presentation style as freshman year, but tests are now 100 questions and very straightforward definitions and situational uses of the definitions. Take notes when he talks, because a lot of it ends up on the test. For the MUN portion, make sure you do 4 conferences to get your stole (the cool ribbon for graduation) and help out the underclassmen as much as possible. Overall this class was one of the most engaging because there was so much real-world discussions, and you're familiar with most of the class by now. You got this!

As long as you understand concepts for AP Statistics, you will do well. Don’t rely on memorization because a lot of materials are interconnected so you will have to refer back to them later on.

She gives out no homework but instead puts all of the work in class. There are almost no opportunities to finish up work outside of class as it can't be taken home. Her exams on vocabulary and grammar are easier than the practice done in class.
