Make sure your binder is organized, make sure you always have your calculator, even though she usually has extra calculators to borrow in case you don't have yours. Sometimes they might work, other times they won't, but that's just because students play around with them too much. If you don't understand something, make sure you reach out to her ASAP; don't wait until test day to ask for help. Any extra credit opportunity you get, make sure you take it, since that might be your only chance of making that 89% a 90%.

Overall, I really liked her class; she's really understanding, she gives 10-minute breaks halfway through the class (when I had her class, she let us use our phones, but things may have changed, so idk), she also lets you eat in her class, which is always fantastic. Honestly, it's understandable to have a 70 in her class, but if you're failing, that's lowkey on you, cuz she's available almost every day after school, and she's really understanding as long as you work with her. Lock in and don't goof around.
