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.
