Mr. Kurup is very caring. There wasn’t much work in the class and all the work that is done is geared towards Forensics and making you a better competitor. There isn’t much done in the actual class period work wise. There aren’t any quizzes or tests in the class, but projects are done throughout the class. He cares very heavily about the students in his class and isn’t strict. I had him for Forensics for three years and I have never had any problems with him, even when I didn’t like the actual program.
If math is a subject you aren't the strongest in, it's important to really pay attention to every detail whenever you're in his class. He does things in an orderly way. Does notes with you, posts homework, then a test is in the future. As long as you are paying attention and asking questions when you need to, you would do well in his class. Also, if you are ever struggling, paying attention, asking questions, seeking for help, and participating really helps. Math, for me, is a class where all you need to do is pay attention to what is going on and you wouldn't have to worry.
Make sure to participate everyday and to come to class prepared. He gives you a lot of time to complete the assignments that are due so it's not hard to do them. The tests usually have questions from the quizzes so make sure to remember those questions and to study for the quizzes too.
Keep an organized notebook for notes so that it's easy to look back at it to study for tests.
The biggest piece of advice I would give for a student to help them become more successful in the class would be to not be afraid to reach out to the teacher and ask questions. This is very important in a course as rigorous and dense as physics. Its important to be on top of all of your definitions and have a good conceptual grasp of what is being taught in the class. As a result asking questions and reaching out to the teacher is sure to maximize your success in the class. The more questions you ask, the better conceptual grasp you have of the material and the higher grades you receive on assignments and tests.
