notecards can be used for all her geometry tests/quizzes, ask her about the test before hand and she can help you with the notecard.

For personal finance: this class is the easiest class at cal. Mrs. Vargas is so nice and will basically act as a therapist for you if you get to know her. The class has zero work and the work it does have is literally basic math. Seriously as a senior, you should definitely take this class, it's so easy.

For geometry she is the best possible option. During the test you can ask for help and she will try to help you as much as possibile and is really laid back. Just do your work and you will end with an A. The final was really light as your grade is already so high that you can bomb it without having to worry.

-queen like she’s so nice -will do callout questions but won’t embarrass you or make you look dumb -takes half points off for late work, but super responsive to grading it -will explain as much as she can if you have a question -device policy is reasonable
