One thing I learned how to do well this year was to not procrastinate. Often times we would have assignments due days or weeks later, and I became better at starting them soon after they were assigned.

# data[].attributes.body
This class helped me understand sciences better. Physics relates to many other science subjects, and its helped me get a better understanding of how things work. This is the only class where I feel like I've learned things that helps me understand stuff why things happen in my everyday life.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for telling us about the band your a part of (might stop by now that I'm 18:) and just being a teacher I can always come to if I needed help with anything.

# data[].attributes.body
In this class I appreciated it when we had note time. While it's not the most exciting, it helped me understand where the equations were coming from and how to apply them. I also really appreciated all the extra time you were willing to put in to help us!

# data[].attributes.body
This class helped me think about attention to detail. Each problem, lab and quiz required attention to so many concepts and details in order to succeed that I found myself learning how to pay attention in that way far better than before.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to ask for help when I need it. Whether from the teacher or peers, I had to ask for help or I would not have succeeded. In previous classes I would have just tried to figure it out myself but now I know it's really okay to ask for support on concepts I don't understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed learning about work and energy and rotational motion.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for challenging me in this class and making me think in new ways. Had I not taken this class I don't know if I would be fully prepared for my college classes in the fall. Also thank you for being so dedicated to your profession and making our class a great one, your efforts do not go unnoticed.

# data[].attributes.body
In this class I appreciated when we would connect physics concepts to real-life scenarios. This not only made the topic easier to understand, but also helped to show the ways in which physics is all around us in our everyday lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for always helping us and working with us to understand a topic that is challenging. I felt like it was always easy to come and get help if there was something I didn't understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed learning about kinematics, and the ways in which projectiles can move.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to more effectively manage my time, as well as how to incorporate different areas of knowledge into solving difficult problems.

# data[].attributes.body
This class helped me think about the different ways physics are present in my life, from the tread of running shoes, to writing with a pen, to plugging my phone into an outlet.

# data[].attributes.body
This class really helped me think about the science behind even the smallest aspects of everyday life that you normally wouldn't think twice about.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for being an approachable teacher. You do a great job of forming a casual yet functional relationship with the students in your class and that really makes everything all the more enjoyable. Keep making music!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to prioritize work so that I would get the most out of each assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for always providing resources for us to help us better understand and learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated the physics demonstrations you gave us in the lab. That really helped explain the different concepts we were learning about.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed learning about electricity and circuts.

# data[].attributes.body
This class helped me think about everyday physics and it gave me a better understanding of why certain things behave the way they do.

# data[].attributes.body
In previous science courses I was asked to write labs that were at least x pages long. This year I learned how to write labs that incorporated the same content but were more concise and to the point. This is a great skill to develop for college.

# data[].attributes.body
I appriciated whenever we got funny videos or we got to look at things in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed learning about work and energy. I think it was a great introductory unit to physics. Your "personalized ordering" of the units works!

# data[].attributes.body
Kinematics for sure! The fact that literally any form of motion can be calculated astonishes me.

# data[].attributes.body
Learn how to effectively study. I could never find the time to read the physics textbook until quarantine, so I had to find quicker ways to learn the material. This was challenging for me, because textbooks are super helpful. So I experimented by watching videos and rewriting stuff over and over again and it seemed to work for the most part... not as well as reading the textbook, but it was good enough.

# data[].attributes.body
How the world REALLY works. Sure, politics, economics, and the environment affect us more than we'd like. But on top of it all is physics -- the king of science. Physics is behind everything, if you think about it. The U.S. Constitution is composed of paper and ink, yes. But that paper, ink, and even the people who wrote it are composed of atoms!

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Surks would stay after our skinny Gray 2 block to answer any random questions I had.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Mr. Surks for being flexible and providing so many resources. I really liked that the class was challenging and engaging at the same time. I also appreciated your dry humor.

And thank you classmates for being kind, supportive and fun. I definitely miss being in class together. You will all do great things wherever you go or whatever you do next. Mastering Physics prepares you for anything!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated all the cool demonstrations we got to do as well as the support you gave to all of us.

# data[].attributes.body
This class helped me look at the world in a different way. It helped me learn about the true difficulty of physics, where one wrong number can screw up a whole equation. It helped me look at the forest and not just the trees.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I didn't practice it a lot I learned a lot about keeping up with the work. It showed me how important it is to stay with it and keep going. It also taught me the importance of practice, sometimes to get those equation right you really got to try them a few times.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked looking into momentum. It was fun looking at how much I actually use it in my everyday life.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for being understanding and supporting us through these tough times! Physics can be pretty hard but it would be even harder during quarantine without you as a teacher!
