Homework is reviewed almost every time it is assigned, but tests usually aren't, unless you ask specifically. At the beginning of the year he does "weekly worksheets" that he posts on google classroom. They're usually unrelated to what you're learning in class, and one is due each week. There are assessments on them, but they usually cover a formula to find volume of some shape, so nothing too difficult. Speaking of assessments, they are pretty fair. Although if you don't pay attention in class, you're screwed. But as long as you know the formula the unit involves, and how to use it, you're fine. He usually allows calculators during quizzes/tests. You can get half credit on a problem if you get some of it right. No extra credit. He can usually meet after school(except Wednesdays), and assessments have to be made up in usually 2-3 days.
Do not just read the sparknotes. Do not. Read the book, take notes in the study guide, and THEN if you have time, or you're confused, read the sparknotes. When you annotate, ALWAYS circle an look up words you don't know. If she thinks you haven't done the reading, she'll ask you specific questions about it in class, and roast you. There are also lots of text-specific questions on quizzes and tests. It can get overwhelming, but if things are really bad, and she can tell you're trying, AND you tell her ahead of time, she'll be willing to give you an extension. Your first essay will probably be a disaster. Read her annotations, and actually take her advice. MLA is your God now. She will tell you to print it and read it out loud, which is actually really solid advice, and your essays will be better. She likes them to be formulaic, and there is an order. She'll tell you the expectations. Write them down, and double check that you have everything. You will have to write in class essays for a test grade sometimes. Just try to finish. Even if it's short, you get points for correct structure and having all the required paragraphs. Then you will have to revise it, and she will go over it, and it will slowly become less scary. Revising an essay after you write one is a pretty normal thing. Non-essay assessments are less common while you're reading actual books, but they abound during short stories, and she loves pop quizzes. Please refer to the first paragraph for advice. Also, do not take your phone out unless she says to, or prepare yourself for a Buturla BarbecueTM.
Make sure to study! That's the most important part. Learning a language is easiest by reviewing constantly.
