Listen to the lectures and take notes. He will pull a lot of exam questions based on what he says during his class. The textbook is fair game as well. There is heavy reading involved, and you need to know this going in. It is best to break up the reading as much as possible so that the workload isn't as stressful. This class will ask a lot from you, but know that you will be a better student for it. Communicate with the teacher as much as possible about what's going on in your life, if eveything is not going so well. He will understand, but don't let that think he will hold your hand and baby you. He knows that your capable of a lot, and expects a higher standard for you then most teachers do.

Mr. Healey is not a bad guy. I'm stating this now so that we can get this out of the way. He holds everyone and everything to a high standard. The truth is he is a hard teacher because he believes that each of his students is capable of a lot. He might give you those long conversations about how college professors are worse than him, and it is not necessarily true. However, his workload parallels a lot of the same workload that tougher college majors offer. Study, read, take notes, and believe in yourself. I promise you that the classes Mr. Healey teaches will make you a stronger student because you learn how to manage your time, keep yourself accountable, and realize your true capabilities.
