know anything and everything on your terms sheet...that means going to class (unless you know someone in there)

long story short..there is NO supplement for class notes with him, that's where everything comes from

Looking back through last semesters notes, all of the terms on the list for the second test were covered except for about a dozen he told us to mark off. You'd best bust your ass for the test, all you have to do to get an A or B is go to class and take his notes. It'll be a lot easier than the first, but still hard if you dont go to class. The review session is pretty shitty but he does remember people who show up, and gives them a point for that test and a little extra for the final grade.

sweet!! been to class mostly cept a couple here and there. Just wondering if it was long answers or multiple choice or mixed?

Should be same format as the other tests, 50 questions fill in the blank, 50% essay choice outta 4 or 5 topics.

oh shit, then you can interpolate what I meant for the first test, thats why its the hardest. Two full pages of terms, and we went through damn near everyone of em. At the end of the semester he'll realize he's wasted too much time going on tangents and throw away a couple dozen terms for the final.

Kinda glad I took him over summer... the stuff stuck in my head. But yeah, the only way to ace his course is to go to class and take notes because it is pure memorization.

The fail safe strategy he has is for you to go through your notes and write down every conceivable question possible and memorize that. I got an 84 the first test, started doing that, and got 96's and 100's on the following tests. It takes some time though, but I'm 99% sure it works EVERY time (granted you have good notes).
