Stay on top of notes, DON’T procrastinate or else you just dug yourself a grave. Study those terms for that extra 50 test points. MC is either yay or nay so good luck. 2-3 essays per week, so use those power words and essay thesis starters to help!

Costa is the best teacher on campus in my opinion. He taught me how to write an essay. I went from getting C’s on essays to A+ all day. His classes is both history and language arts combined in a very effective way. He is a realist, he doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He treats all his students as adults and he will teach you all about European or US history more than all your years in history combined. He’s that legendary and amazing. He deserves an award or something.
