Mrs. White is so sweet. Among other students, she is known as the "easy" bio teacher, but don't take advantage of her niceness. It is easy to get 100% in homework since it is usually graded for completion. Quizzes are open notes so they can help your test grade. I recommended studying from the Big Ideas slides she posts on Google classroom because test questions are similar from those. On the final, you get a full sheet of paper of notes, so make sure to put a bunch of info on there.

Mrs, White is definitely one of my favorite teachers, I am currently a freshman at Amador, and I look forward to her class every day. She is a wonderful teacher, and really knows what she is doing. She makes biology very fun to learn.
