Super easy class. He uses a very weird grading system but as long as you do some of the extra credit each week you should get an A.

This class is extremely easy, but his grading system is really weird. You have to get above 100% to get an A in the class but he gives a lot of extra credit assignments so do those.

I had Mr. Benz for physics in my freshman year. It was a very chill class and the workload is very light. If you get above a 95% for your grade, you don't have to take the final exam at the end of the semester. One advice I would give is that you guys study before the test (Mr. Benz usually give study guides and a list of what's going to be on the test) and that you finish your work in class (the workload is very light too). There is very very less homework and almost zero homework every day. Most of the time, you'd only have homework if you don't finish in class.
