As a former student, (duh), and a former not hard working student, I can say that to do well in this class, you just do your INB (Interactive Notebook) work on schedule, and thoroughly. Extremely Thorough. Yeah, Mr. Nowotarski may be angry when y'all talk too much, or not do your Cornell Notes (Avg: 7 pages of notes for me), but he's doesn't spring tests on you, he gives you a lot of material you can use to prepare, so don't be like me, and actually do the prep work and you can get the A, EASILY.
