Pay attention when she is teaching. If you don't understand anything, you can always review the classwork and other materials that is provided. Homework is quite straightforward, and you can always email or ask her for help if need be. I recommend reading ahead in the notes and packets that she gives you because certain units have a lot of material to cover. For grading, make sure you do well on the test. The tests are normally easier than quizzes because they don't go as in-depth as the quizzes. Homework is an easy grade so always make sure you do it.

She's really nice. In fact, she is the most helpful teacher in the school. If you have her in an honors class, she is very relaxed and lenient with grading, but she is also really nice to all of her students. She is also very fast to grade papers, and only cares that you try your best. I passed that class with high marks, and mostly because of the content she taught and how good she was at teaching it.

So nice generous helpful, and always willing to give advice for any subject she taught. She is always willing to help any student when they come during lunch or flex period (the Montgomery equivalent of study hall). She also stays afterschool when kids need more help. She gives testing and quiz advice and doesn't check homework as long as you're good about doing it. The best teacher by far in UMS, and I hope people in LMS are lucky enough to have her in the coming years.
