How To Succeed
Students may occasionally experiences times when they aren't legitimately completing and learning the homework; this behavior has to be avoided in this class. When it comes to the tests (and pop quizzes), merely cramming in this class is absolutely impossible. The nature of Physics makes it extremely hard to learn a lot of the material in a short amount of time, so students have to take initiative on their own to keep up with the work so they do not have to cram before tests. Additionally, the degree to which the labs affect a student's grade is often unnoticed; lab reports must be thoughtfully written in order to succeed in this class. By thoroughly completing and learning from the assigned homework, putting forth effort into the labs, and paying close attention to the material taught in class, students will succeed and glean the benefits of taking AP Physics.
