- always posts slides for work - super reasonable - don't plagiarize or cheat in his class; he is nice and lenient but don't abuse it and he DOES check for it

Take reading notes as often as you can but don’t worry if you don’t sometimes. Try to do the reading packet as you read to make it more manageable. Use quizlet to study for quizzes—You can find good quizlets by copy and pasting a question from the reading packet.

Do the assigned readings and notes, they’ll save your life for tests and DBQs and such. His lecture notes are also extremely informative. He’s able to condense around seven pages into just a few slides. He’s a really good teacher though, and as long as you put in the work, you’ll be fine.

Great teacher, definitely cares a lot about teaching the class well and wants you to succeed. Very little confusion and he’s always clear on what you need to do to succeed.
