This class has a lot of optional work but I recommend you do it, since if you don't you don't get to correct your mistakes on bellringers (practice quizzes)

Use your time wisely in his class, don't flip your phone into horizontal mode and storm the castle. Trust me, I had classmates who always gamed when Mr. Bocksnick gave them the gift of time and they weren't happy with their test scores. Mr. Bocksnick is very kind and is an excellent teacher. He's definitely one of my favorite teachers in Paly.
