Just pay attention when she’s teaching and you’ll pass. None of her classes are hard at all, you literally just have to listen. The exception is her APs if you’re going to take those exams; you’ll definitely have to review outside of class. She’ll almost definitely let you borrow a textbook.

Mrs Russ is a really good teacher, you can tell she likes what she does. The only advice I would give is to go ahead and get things done when they’re assigned. None of the work is especially hard, but she has a tendency to assign ten things at once and not specify which ones are more pressing. Also, please don’t take advantage of her being nice. It’s extremely frustrating to watch her repeat herself over and over after other students keep talking and not paying attention. Her classes can be fun a lot of the time, but not when we end up doing something boring because people wouldn’t at least pretend to pay attention. (Also, if you ask her for a recommendation, do it WAY ahead of time. I love Mrs Russ, but she has a sliiiiiight tendency to procrastinate on LoRs. )
