Ms. Steiker is a fairly brutal history teacher when compared to the other teachers. When I mean brutal, she often calls on people and gives heavy loads of homework. Her questions consist of roughly two types: infrastructure/cultural diffusion or specific details from the textbook. To save your grades when working on writing assignments, DO NOT USE PASSIVE VERBS, and USE ACTIVE POWER VERBS. She will butcher your paper if you fail to do so. When doing homework, a regular writing assignment on looseleaf should cover around at least 4 pages. On the bright side, she makes your history class next year a piece of cake because of her high standards.
