He does frequent quizzes about the books you read in the class, so dont slack or else you may fail the quiz. His class aims toward understanding ourselves more and "whats the meaning of life". Mr. D class is super fun, but some kids get low grades because his class requires you to always do your best. He doesn't bull around, so dont try to make up excuses for not doing your assignments. Also, he's a funny guy. He's my favourite English teacher, and I really hope I have him again someday. -Briana L. Class 2019-2020

Don't be introverted and also the books will always have a meaning to know (100% he's gonna say it is the meaning of life)

Do your readings and homework the night before and you will be set. Many students get poor grades in this class and blame the teacher. The books he chooses are FANTASTIC if you actually read them and his discussions are engaging but you need to put the time in and read the material he was my favorite English teacher
