"Work hard and try to make friends who you can study with. "
"Pay attention to yourself and your ways of learning rather than someone else’s. "
"Geometry’s foundation is built off of theorems and proofs. Keep participating and reusing these proofs to help you remember these theorems and prepare for your exams. "
"Just make sure you are never behind on a topic, if you are lost or you think something is difficult, when you go home review that lesson where you felt unsure. That’s something that I didn’t do and I paid for it."

"Listen in class and get to know Mr. Chen, he is a great teacher. Review ALEKS and make friends in the class. "
"Geometry is not your middle-school Algebra; it is like a methodical game of chess where you have to use the right formulas in order to get checkmate. Pay attention to which chess pieces do what to succeed! :D"
"Whether it’s a unit you think you already know, still pay attention to what’s going on in class. Paying attention and participating, even if you are wrong, always helps. Also, make sure to keep a pencil with an eraser. "

You’re all here to learn. And have fun! You’ll definitely feel confident once you master the material."
"Don’t worry about proofs because there’s only going to be a few on the regents. Geometry is the course I struggle the most with but asking friends for help really helps me understand it."
"Raise your hand in class, ask questions and answer them, or else you'll find yourself weeks into the school year not understanding anything!"
"Mr. Chen is definitely an amazing teacher, so all you really need to do is pay attention in class and review the material. "

"Pay attention during class and take a lot of detailed notes on the postulates and theorems"
"Everyone is in the same boat as you - math can be confusing so absolutely no one will find you weird for not understanding a concept and asking questions about it. The same goes for making a mistake when answering a question, no one will remember that mistake. Think about it, when thinking about someone else, do you ever remember the time they answered a question incorrectly? No, so don't be afraid to learn from that mistake - don't let it keep you from participating in the future. Good luck (:"
"Look at the examples in Aleks. They are so useful because they explain the steps "
"Always do your Aleks homework on time! A lot of your grade comes from Aleks and test questions come directly from the homework. And Aleks in general is pretty helpful with its example questions and explanations. Make sure to pay attention in class and participation is key!"
"Keep your handouts in one place so you can always go back to check what you've learned. Always ask about any questions you may have, so you can understand the unit better."

"Make sure to keep up with the Aleks homework because it is helpful review and will prepare you for quizzes. Also doing the classwork really helps you to understand the lessons so it is easier when it is time for the quiz."
"Make sure to pay attention in class and ask if you have any questions. For proofs (which many people hate) it's not too bad if you understand the concepts behind the theorems and how to apply them to certain problems. I think Mr. Chen does a good job explaining it, so just make sure to take notes and study and the year should go pretty smoothly! Good luck! :))"

"Make sure to ask any questions, and in most cases u would need to ask a friend so make a class gc and ask eachother there"
"Always do your geometry homework. In the Aleks homework you are provided with concepts that appear in all your tests. Do your classwork, so you barely need to study for the actual test. Once you grasp the concept, the entire geometry class is much easier than you think. Use Mr. Chen's website to plan what you do through the semester, and use the resources as a study guide. Always participate and ask questions because most of the time your question may appear on the actual exam. For midyears, review your old exams. Always use the review before the exam day, because almost all the questions from the review sheet appear on your test. Finally, have fun. Geometry will teach you intriguing concepts. The more engaged you are, and the more you enjoy understanding the process of geometry, the better you do in the class."

"Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something- use your peers as tools as well as Mr. Chen, and make sure that you understand every topic enough to do the homework- if you can do all the homework, you'll do fine on the tests."
"If you don't understand a section, study it and keep pushing forward, because often times I found myself understanding a confusing unit or lesson after going to the next units."

"Always do your homework, study to your best ability and comfort and don't worry if it started off hard. It will get easier. Don't be afraid to ask for help either from the teacher or another student!!"
"Dear next year students, my advice to you is to review your notes every once in a while and study as soon as you are confused. do your homework, pay attention in class and take notes because sometimes the answer to an exam question is said only once, or pops up in class, so it's important to know it. "
"Always remember your theorems and equations. The more you know, the easier it is to complete problems (I'd suggest making a list you can put in your folder, so you can check and memorize). Ask for help if you don't understand. You should always ask for help. It's not worth not knowing how to do something."

"Don't worry if you don't do so well on the first couple of tests, it gets better as the year goes on. Always do your homework because it helps your grade and ultimately prepares you for the regents."
"DO NOT procrastinate on reviewing!!! Remember, there is a lot of theorems and equation to memorize. Instead of cramming everything in a day, do some problems everyday in order to naturally memorize the equations/theorems. The more you use them everyday, the familiar you get with them."
"Participate in class! You'll do better in tests, understand the material better, and even if you didn't get enough sleep -> you won't fall asleep!"
"After studying the material you learned in class, you should always go a step further and study complex types of questions that will appear on the regents, it will help you in the long run."

"Listen to Mr. Chen's analogies. They are accurate and random."
"Just remember what Mr. Chen states in class and read over the review before the test and his recent post and formulas. Don't listen to people who say geometry is hard and you will be able to get a 100%."
"Exams don't mean everything, everyone has a bad exam, do your Best, and accomplish as much as you can, but Always try."
"Geometry is actually very easy to do well in, even if you are not good at math. just pay attention and do your homework BY yourself. this is literally how I studied for tests and maintained a 97 all year long."
