Memorize the hell out of the notes packet

This class requires a lot of memorization and practice. Always do the homework and be prepared. During the notes, she'll give you definitions and concepts and make you do the practice problems by yourself. Be prepared to get called on and explain your reasoning for that answer.
Class of 2022
Make sure you know how to do the problems in the note packets yourself. Always do the homework, review your mistakes, and ask questions when you have them.

For pre-calc, memorize the unit circle immediately - I didn't at first, and it really hurt me later on. You use it later in the class and also in calculus, so you'll get better grades if you memorize it now. Also, definitely do the homework. It's a fantastic tool, and the questions are almost always the same kind of ones on the quizzes and even the tests.

Mrs. Kim is a nice teacher and is wonderful at teaching. However, if math isn't your best subject, it'll be hard to catch up since she does go at a faster pace. She prefers those who are passionate about learning math. She's a strict teacher, but as long as you try your best and seek out for help, it shouldn't be a problem.

Mrs. Kim is a great teacher, and although her class moves very fast and at times it's hard to keep up, if you keep pushing through and paying attention it'll really pay off on tests and in the long run!
