Don’t come to the class, expecting an easy A for effort that you didn’t put in. The other reviewer clearly assume that they would be let off easy because the classes in elective. If you put in work and effort as you should be doing in high school, then you’ll get something valuable out of the class.

This teacher goes above and beyond when it comes to your education if you put in the effort and is very considerate. I definitely recommend starting conversations about world events after class or any other thing on your mind, because his insights are incredibly helpful and might change your view!
