Be kind, be respectful, be open minded but most importantly pay attention. Not because of tests/quizzes (can be used very well for this though, i'll get into that later), but because of the information Mr. Abrams tells you. I doubt you will ever learn or hear about these specific social injustices and direct topics again. Soak it all in. Learn the faults of the world, but most importantly ask yourself constantly "will I ever hear these topics again? ". My answer was always probably never again in the slightest degree. So take advantage of hearing these life changing topics. The quizzes/tests are very hard, so make sure you study and take notes in class. The homework is very manageable, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. Focus on the exams and taking good notes.

Just don't goof off during class unless you have finished all your work, because the classwork is designed to keep you pretty well occupied throughout the semester.

The midterm and final are quite literally copy-pasted from previous test. Don't waste too much time reviewing the textbook; Your time is better spent reviewing classwork. Also, definitely memorize everything on the review sheets, and go to his review sessions, as the essay question (or a vague semblance of it) will almost always be given out at some point. Finally, study before the test, as you have the opportunity to win bonus points during in-class Jeopardy sessions.

As far as being in his French class goes, make sure you study for his tests and memorize your vocab. Otherwise, this is a pretty easy class. Most of the worksheets, you can even find the answers to them online.

Make sure you focus on the writing assignments, they're frequent-ish and the prompts can be challenging. Keep up to date with the assigned reading, since you will almost always have a discussion the following day that takes up a lot of class time. Homework is nearly always graded, so put at least some effort on it. Also, don't expect a 100% either on all assignments, in his class an 85 is a good grade. Vocab quizzes are rare, but do pop up later on in the school year, they're fairly easy. In general, all major assessments are writing, we had very few tests/quizzes.

Note: This references AP Biology This course is difficult. You definitely need to be able to memorize things effectively. There is a lot of homework in addition to textbook-reading, and though it isn't "mandated", don't let yourself fall behind. Take the notes even if she isn't going to look at them or grade them. Not only will this help you review for in class assessments, but also the AP Exam in May. They say that AP classes are designed to mimic a college curriculum, and Galuska has designed the class so that the workload and in-class assessments operate the same way. There is even a cat dissection after the AP Exam, the test for which she "modeled off [her own] college experiences". There is nothing worse than coming to class unprepared, but this hold true especially in Galsuka's AP Bio Class.

Note: This references Honors Biology. This class is extremely manageable as long as you keep up with the work. She is not the fastest grader by any means, but make sure that by June you haven't turned in any assignments from semester 2. Tests are fairly challenging, but sometimes corrections can be given. Labs are weekly, so expect most homework to be finishing up labs. If you ever need more time to do work, email her and there is a very strong chance she'll give you more time. Also, make sure you don't totally forget information from previous units, as some units build on previous ones.

Note: The below references Pre-Calculus Honors. For AP Computer Science Principles, see further below. Make sure you know your trigonometry, as that is essentially the entire first semester. Tests and quizzes are very similar to classwork. Also, if you don't understand something, get that cleared up ASAP, and material later on builds on it. Make sure you pay attention to whether or not certain assessments are approved for calculator usage, as some are not. Note: The below references AP Computer Science Principles The course is relatively easy enough. App Inventor (the programming language used for the course) is block-based. If you are new to programming, this may prove a slight challenge, but it isn't too hard to learn. In addition, as long as you do the classwork and turn assignments in on-time / early, you are free to do whatever you want during class. Make sure you review things you do in class, as that will prove helpful for tests. As of 2018, this was the curriculum used : https://course. mobilecsp. org/mobilecsp/

Note: This references French 4 Honors She doesn't exactly tell you what to study when she says you have an interpretive assessment coming up, so that's up to you. Otherwise, for things like grammar quizzes and stuff, you know what you need to know, and the tests are exactly like the homework (but with different questions, of course). She often lets you do retakes on grammar assessments if you come in later to see her for extra help, so no worries if you bomb one. She also gives out "Euros" on occasion, 5 of which will earn you a bonus point on any quiz. Save up for when you do phenomenally bad on the retake, as they are hard to come by. (In my class, the student who earned the most only had 50 euros life savings by the end of the year, so don't plan on using euros to get by with a higher grade than you deserve).

Note: This references ECE Environmental Science Tinker's class is pretty easy compared to some of the other ECE Enviro teachers' classes. His tests do require moderate preparation and memorization, but he will outline most of what you need to know. You do labs and stuff both outdoors and indoors, and you may even have to collect dirt for homework.
