He does not allow calculators for geometry class. Remember how to do basic math.

geometry is easier than algebra for me. you should review all materials at the end of the school year to be prepared for the SOL.

At the end of the year, go back and review on your own. He doesn't do a good job of reviewing all materials.

Kotwicki was very serious, but also had a fun side. Our lessons were mostly self guided as he created videos for us to watch online the night before the lesson for us to discuss with classmates. He guided us skillfully throughout all classwork, and all his classes had a very high average. I can attest that I and most of my other peers thoroughly enjoyed his class. Thank you Mr. Kotwicki!
