Make sure to actually look at the slideshow; most of the test answers are in it! Also make sure to do the inquiries as these can really save your grade, since the later tests can be hard.

In the beginning when Mr. Beck is teaching you how to use all the equipment, make sure you actually pay attention, because he doesn't like being asked ridiculous questions. He'll still answer any questions you have though, so don't worry too much about it. Just be creative and do the best work you can, especially in Ceramics I and II.

Mr. Beck is nice and a good teacher. He didn't let us use technology in class though. He would also get mad at our class a lot too. However, it was a good class and good teacher.

Mr. Beck is incredibly knowledgable, but he can definitely get sarcastic with students... don't take it to heart--that's just his personality. He is eccentric in a good way and is always willing to help you out with any of your ideas.
