Always stay on top of your homework. You cannot afford to lose points in that category as the tests and quizzes are very challenging. This is, after all, a DOUBLE accelerated course. Also, to prepare for her tests you do NOT want to just memorize formulas and rules. Make sure you completely understand not only the information, but how to utilize it. There WILL BE material covered in earlier units on the tests, so always review previous lessons to jog back your memory. Lots of practice is required if you truly wish to succeed in this class. Good luck!

1. Always do the worksheets. 2. Ask Ms. Rusu if you have any questions about the worksheets. 3. Understand the concepts on the worksheets. 4. Find more worksheets online for yourself to do as practice. Worksheets typically reflect test questions, so if you struggle with the worksheets, then you likely won't be doing well on the test. Homework literally matters.

Rusu is a great teacher who understands the material in-depth and is willing to help students. Unfortunately, the curriculum is very rigorous and it is very challenging to maintain a passing grade in her class.

Ms. Rusu really cares about how well her students do in her class. Although I'll admit that I barely passed her class, I can tell that she made an effort to make her tests easier, give us more practice, and open up her classroom during breaks for us struggling students. Kudos to you if you get an A in her class.
