Many answers for Web Design are online because it’s simply code. Late work is accepted for homework, but not typically for projects. Try to stay on task (follow the checkpoint due dates); you are given extra time outside of class on some projects but not others, so be mindful of the time being given to you.

NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES! you will fail this class if you don't have some sort of organized note taking. there is simply too much information to just memorize. other than that her grading is very fair, you will have extended late work times, almost all the way to the progress reports. there are no curveballs on the tests. you will pass if you take notes

Try to submit your best work, she grades harshly but doesn't give a clear rubric or instructions. She can take a while to respond sometimes. If there are readings, make sure you read them.

As long as you pay attention and turn in the assignments, you are for sure going to pass this class! Don't worry if anything is troubling you, as long as you speak to her about it, she'll be extremely helpful.

Expects us to learn on our own, you are gonna have to rely on yourself to understand the material. Rarely is their homework assignments or projects but when there is it’s an unreasonable protocol

Make sure to fully complete and revise the labs every time, they matter about just as much as the test in this class - so if you aren't a great test taker, the labs can save your grade

In both Honors U. S. History II and Psychology, there is an emphasis on critical thinking over busy work. Take a little more time to think about assignments; there are less of them than in other classes. In both classes, projects are more important than tests. Tests are rarely assigned; there might be a few in History and a single one in Psychology. In History, students use what they’ve learned throughout the semester to complete a big final project. Examples from the past include reports on Lloyd Gaines’ disappearance and the case of Korematsu v. United States. The final project can be quite intensive, but students are guided throughout the process. They are encouraged/helped to take action beyond the classroom and really engage in the cases. Some formal debates and informal discussions happen in both classes. You can contribute solely by writing your part; there is no pressure around public speaking if that makes you uncomfortable. This policy applies to presentations, too. Most assignments are group work, especially in Psychology. I highly recommend either putting in the work yourself or finding a strong group of classmates to work with. Either way, as long as you demonstrate some interest in the class, you can get a decent grade.

If you have Dr. Farrar, especially for AP Chem, I would echo the other students that have left reviews and say that it's extremely helpful to make a group chat with classmates. Additionally, studying every day will probably help you, but be careful not to overstudy. Try not to get too overwhelmed.

Sometimes having prior knowledge of history is very important (if you want to earn a snack). Also develop a special connection with him because having something to talk about is so fun. For example, he used to be neighbors with my relatives and now we talk about that all the time. Also, it's not hard to stay focused, The difficult part is feeling confident in your writing. The teachers in the room are excellent and it always feels like a safe space. I'm typing this as I'm supposed to be writing an essay but wtv. Overall, Flaherty is a special person and always treats his students like their his bestfriend's but also so kindly.

The AP Physics class is one of the hardest classes I have taken in high school, but it is certainly manageable with the right study habits and desire to do well. There is a new chapter almost every week with a chapter quiz at the end of the week. Weekend homework assignments are typically to preview the upcoming chapter and take notes. Though preparation helps to understand new concepts, you don’t always need to do this homework. She checks your notes at the beginning of the semester, but much less at the end of it. She goes over the chapters in class, too. The class is pretty much based on the textbook, but not everything that’s in the textbook is used in the class or on the AP test. If you go over the fine details in the textbook, you will be better prepared for the work. She uses Webassign for most homework assignments online and has people choose when they will make videos for a solution for a Webassign problem. These videos are mandatory, but you have some flexibility when it comes to when you will make your video. Webassign allows you multiple attempts on problems and there is an option to do practice problems that won’t be graded. Take advantage of this option, especially if you are unsure of how to go about solving a problem. Webassign problems work by changing variable values from student to student, but the outline is the same for everyone. You can find most of the answers online on Yahoo Answers, Course Hero, Chegg, etc. And if you wait until the experts of the week post their videos, you will have step by step solutions to some of the problems. You should, however, attempt to understand the Webassign problems, as they appear in quizzes and resemble AP free response questions.

Both Honors Algebra II and AP Statistics are intense courses. An interest in math is a necessity in these courses. I would not recommend slacking off; this will harm your grade. Homework is fairly easy to get 100% in, since all answers from textbook problems can be found on Slader. In Statistics, the odd numbered problems are typically the ones assigned and the answers are at the back of the textbook. Homework is more graded on completion rather than correctness, and you are given late passes for homework. Much more homework is assigned than necessary, but I recommend attempting the problems on your own before using online or textbook answers. You will be more prepared for the quizzes and tests, which closely resemble the problems assigned in the homework. The curriculum, quizzes, and tests, are textbook based and fairly formulaic. You are given some formulas in Statistics, but almost no formulas in Algebra II. It was my experience that, if you have a solid foundation in Algebra I, you can succeed in Algebra II simply by practicing and following along or not following along during class. In Statistics, the formulas are not that complicated; what’s complicated is identifying when to use them. Even with practice, this is hard to do. I recommend paying attention during class, as she shows you how exactly to do the types of problems that you will be graded on later. You are allowed to do quiz corrections to earn back full points, and test corrections for half points. Do these corrections; the answers are all online. Because tests can be hard, projects weigh more than tests on your grade. You will do about 2 projects a semester. They can really help your grade; all the necessary components are in comprehensive rubrics for you to follow.

If you have Critical Issues with him, it'll be fine. He's a very nice teacher and extremely organized. He accepted late work with no deductions in my class! He gives very thorough feedback on writing assignments. There are a lot of papers for the class (I managed with just a folder). Just make sure you answer whatever prompts and do revisions if you can.

The class mainly focuses on preparing you for the AP Stats exam. We would start off with an experiment to learn the concept through our experience, solve the problems using our data from the experiment and debrief afterward about the key concept and the notes that go with it. Please start to utilize sentence starters since this is a math class that relies heavily on writing. Also know the definition of the concepts you are using and be sure to always justify your answer. CrashCourse and AP classroom are great resources for this class!

For Precalc: Take notes and do the homework!! Usually the homework is reviewed the next day. Check your answers before a homework check. Ask him for help and he will help you. He's very kind and sweet. If you ask him, he'll post the materials (slideshow, etc. ).

(Marine Biology): Biggest piece of advice: KEEP THE DIAGRAMS!! I suggest taking pictures so they are accessible online as well. As long as you complete the homework/notes, you will understand the material. You can always come back and review them for later. Make sure that you submit them promptly so they do not pile up. For any art projects, start them quickly as they are difficult to do last-minute.

make sure to pay attention, Mr MG will grade you for little things. Always try your best to participate and make your opinions heard. He is overall a chill guy but he definitely will get mad if your class acts up. If you do your work you will do fine in the class.

For AP Physics, try to memorize equations/formulas. Use Khan Academy or other resources when it's unclear in class (which was quite frequently for me and my peers). Ms Newton is a great person, but her teaching is pretty unclear. Good luck!

Honors Precalculus and AP Calculus are challenging courses. They require strong interest in math and desire to earn high grades. The homework helps prepare you for the quizzes and tests, but it is often challenging work. Slader and online resources can help when you are stuck, but try to understand how to solve the problems assigned in the homework. You can go to the teacher before or after class when you need help on the homework; it’s seen as initiative to learn, which is good. A deeper understanding of how to apply certain formulas/theorems is needed. Rereading the textbook chapters helps when it comes to understanding the fine details and reasons behind certain formulas/theorems/principles. This deeper understanding of math is the focus of the teaching in the class. Oftentimes, the lessons will take on the style of a lecture. Derivations of formulas are often part of these lectures, but it is not necessary to memorize all the derivations, only the derivations for formulas that are hard to memorize or not given on tests. Other times, lessons will go over sample problems in class, either by the teacher, individually, or in small groups/pairs. Use your classmates and teacher when you need help. Collaborative learning is important in these classes; that’s why the desks are configured in clusters.

AP Language and Composition is one of the hardest classes that I have taken in high school. The amount of work and the standard of work are both very high. It is unlike other English classes in that it truly focuses on rhetoric and development/communication of ideas, rather than content and literature. Do not slack off in this class if you want to get a good grade. I underestimated the amount of work needed initially in this class, and I had to work harder for the rest of the quarter to make up for that mistake. The class is very harsh in terms of grading because corrections and extra credit are not allowed. You must attempt to do your best on every assignment and ask for feedback on major assignments when you are unsure if your work is acceptable. Multiple homework assignments are typically given each night at the beginning of the semester. These can take literal hours, but still try to do them well; slacking off can easily lead to Cs. At the end of the semester, the numbers of homework assignments decrease, but the assignments are replaced by essays to complete in a day or so. You must follow the guidelines exactly for rhetorical analyses to earn good grades. The same applies to occasional essays and current event précis. Basic rubrics and outlines are given to you, and the readings each night will inform you on how to do the writing assignments. It is easier to earn high grades in the “Classroom Engagement and Agency” category, which consists of small, informal presentations and in-class work. However, you do not always need to talk in your small group presentations to get good grades. In informal discussions and after occasional essay readings, there is no pressure at all to participate, and opting out of participating (except when required for specific assignments) rarely affects your grade. There are few quizzes and presentations; most of the grading is on your analyses of texts and writing. The midterm and final are extremely long, but you are given extra time after class to finish. Take all the time given to you to come up with responses to the questions on the exams.

There are weekly textbook quizzes on Mondays that are completely open response. There are approximately 4 words that you must define and give context to. You do not need to know everything in the chapters; just the bolded key words/phrases. You can skim the chapters for these words. A lot of the content in the class is intuitive. You can usually accomplish the daily assignments without knowing all of the content. However, some assignments are not very straightforward; if you ask clarifying questions, you’ll be given as much help as you need. Occasionally documentaries and videos will be played during class or assigned for homework. Sometimes your notes are collected, but usually they aren’t. You don’t always need to watch the videos; you just need to know the general ideas in them.

this class is very easy if you can game the system, use the autograder to insure that every single one of your assignments has an 100. Use stack overflow if you are stuck. Try to spend as much time in class actually working.

get extra help if you need it!! ms. yu is really willing to help and available pretty often. Homework is usually chalenge problems that you choose based on your comfort level, so coming afterschool and working on them with her is really beneficial. The class also has a lot of group work and sharing, so its important to be comfortable with your classmates. to help this, ms. yu sometimes has discussion time set aside for articles not really related to math, which some students see as a waste of time, but actually really helps academic discussions later on. This class isn't easy, but it shouldn't be too stressfull. everything is very clear and we review well for midterms and finals.
