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.

Mr. B has a larger-than-life personality, and he genuinely seems engaged in his job and the kids he teaches. He's approachable and friendly, even with kids he may not necessarily like. He's not the best or the worst at keeping control of the classroom, so it can get loud. He has catchphrases, shares about his personal life sometimes(but not to the point where it's inappropriate), and even holds a yearly Kahoot on little facts about himself! Try to remember if he mentions the subjects he's certified to teach, or his wife's profession! Also, he's a Gaels fan.
