This class is designed to be like a college class... it will be challenging. I'm preparing you for the AP Exam. It doesn't mean it will be boring, though. We'll have fun, we'll do cool labs, we may even get on a few tangents here and there.

All you have to do is follow FARR and you will go FAR (see what I did there...)

F- Fun: Yes, I expect you to learn. However, it doesn't mean you can't have fun while you do it. Come in each day with a positive attitude and I'll do the same.

A - Achievement: Set goals and work towards them. My hope is you at least want a 3 on the AP Exam. Want a 4 or a 5? I can give you the tools necessary to get there, but you have to do the work.

R- Respect: Respect Mr. Hoffman and your classmates. We do labs, we do group projects, you have to be able to work with everyone even if they aren't your bestie. I doubt you will always agree with me... if you don't, be respectful about it. Come talk to me, we'll work it out.

R - Responsibility: I can't do the work for you and I won't always give you the answers. It's your job to do your homework, notes, classwork, and to study.
