The class is honestly not that bad, but only because I tried really hard to participate and wanted to be his favorite. The class is pretty moderate and he does assign quite a bit of work, like monthly Star Journals and CER's he expects you to do without any warning. The workload isn't that bad though as long as you actually DO IT. Participating is EXTREMELY easy and make sure you sit in the front for the best experience. My absolute FAVORITE thing about is this class was the amount of extra credit you could get. He gives you so many extra credit opportunities, probably every day. The easiest ways to get points is pointing out the wrong date or 'spelling demons', as he calls it, on the agenda. Another way, which is a bit harder, is writing more on your CER's, doing assignments early, or graphing more on your Star Journals and Moon Journals. These take more effort, but can get you up to 20 more points extra. In your science notebook, the little mini assignments he makes you do is also really fun and gets you the most amount of extra credit (60 points more ish). The extra credit he gives you is genuinely crazy and so helpful if you're a try hard. Also, you will be having the most fun in this class if you have friends. One of my biggest tips is to make more friends if you don't already have some in your class because it WILL be one of your favorite classes ever. There are VERY VERY VERY occasional tests (like 2-3 is what I remember) and the projects are genuinely so fun because he lets you do it with your friends. Keep your science notebook organized and ready to go and use your notebook to show to the class cause he will glaze you no joke. The workbooks he gives you aren't very necessary and you don't use them a lot, only in the 2nd semester which is really just wavelengths and some physics/DNA. I personally really enjoyed the astronomy unit ( which he does for basically the whole year), and he doesn't really touch on other topics. His class is definitely a bit harder than Tsang's b/c of the work, but it's really enjoyable and extremely easy to get a high A in. PLEASEE cherish this class because you will NEVER forget it and YOU WILL have the most fun in it as long as you try to have fun. ( note: he's kinda slow at grading and changes due dates A LOT, but it's worth it in the end bc of the extra credit)

The study guides are really helpful and she teaches well, the notes are really good and the homework she gives you is great practice, it's a fun math class and you do some mini projects along the way (course 3) The homework is daily, which is expected, and she usually gives 10-15 problems, the MARS tasks are really annoying though so watch out for those, the starters are okay in difficulty

The class (for 7th) isn't hard, it's pretty light as long as you do the work. The CER's are NOT hard at all and the labs are pretty fun. Having a group of friends in this class is definitely a plus too. for 6th, I don't remember much but the projects are fun too, tests aren't too bad, I think she gives study guides sometimes and notecards

the class is easy, for stagecraft theres self-evaluations every week and stuff and you get to choose what crew you're on (costumes and makeup, set design, tech director, stage manager, and lights and sound), rehearsals are usually for the leadership roles (tech ds and stage managers ) and the rare times the other crew comes into play are dress rehearsals and the actual show dates. biggest tip here is to have friends if you're gonna sign up for this class, if not MAKE some because it will get boring and lonely. set design is fun but make sure you wear pants you dont care about when painting. drilling is easy, you get the hang of it quickly, pack tweezers and/or a tide pen because you will get splinters and stains. the saw is easy to use, just don't use it while she's not looking and remember the safety goggles. the application for me was really easy but ik she made the application harder so goodluck. tech d is really similar to set design they just lead and tell the groups what to do, help ms Raines with ideas and scenery. from what I know, costumes and makeup is really stressful, lights and sound is where everyone chills and sits in the booth, stage managing needs dedication. the shows are hectic but you do get free leftover snacks in the end, so its not bad. there are around 2-3 plays per year, but take that with a grain of salt bc it changes a lot. overall, just have fun in the class and have friends bc its an easy A and it can get really boring when's ahe doesn't have any work to do
