For his class, it’s crucial to pay attention in class. Even better, participate, ask questions, and most importantly, do the HOMEWORK. Many times, he adds homework questions from the unit on the tests, with students not even realizing it. Sometimes it’s like a cheat code to succeeding in his class. He does this too as appropriate like only 10% of his students do his homework since they’re all optional. So please do the homework’s! Also attend his extra help since he kinda hints at you what questions he’ll add on the tests by saying like “oh I like this question”.

You can find Mr. Dickson’s passion for teaching through the way he explains everything thoroughly and with joy. He’s very dedicated to seeing his students succeed, even offering extra review for those students he believes needs some more attention for the upcoming regents. His humorous personality really lightens up the room with his funny jokes, whether it’s about his top 3 sports or about the Mets.
