I had him for ap physics 1 & 2. The class has no tests. Graded on google forms and edpuzzles. Easy to earn a 100 but there is a tremendous amount of work. Each unit will have 2 google forms with 30-40 ap style MCQs. He grades off completion. Fun labs every Friday. I would recommend printing or memorizing the equations. Each unit he repeats the same method of teaching. Day 1: Slides of notes (gets boring) Day 2: whole class takes turns answering ap style questions out loud. Day 3-4: ap frq's with a partner which you will present to the class. (no one pays attention after the first two units). Letson is very nice and you could learn a lot from him. Some facts: He has a doctorate, used to work at intel, lives near the beach, a good guy in general. He will disappear to the teacher's office every 15 minutes in class.
