1.Despite details about his personality that are weird or not expected, Mr. Ward operates in a very methodical way as far as classroom operation goes. After the first two weeks, I could pretty much predict the plans for the rest of the year. Every night we had homework from the section that he had just taught that day.

　　2.The next day we would have to hand in the work first thing in the morning, so no one would do it while we were in school.

　　3.He would grade every one of them before we got to class, hand them back and then ask for questions on the homework.

　　4.He would explain every problem and every question until EVERYONE understood. Sometimes the juniors would even surprise me with some of the questions, which were appallingly stupid. After the questions he would teach just enough of the next section so we could do our homework to always keep us busy.

　　5.After we finished a chapter he would give one of his infamous tests. For every test he would hand them out and write, 45 minutes left on the board to signify the beginning of the test. After ten minutes he would go up and change it to 35 minutes then to 30 then to 20, 15, 10 5, 3, 0, and he would ask for the tests. Forcing some of the slower juniorssintosa melee of erasing and writing as the clock ticked away.

　　6.Relying on his calculator-like brain, Mr. Ward would always have them graded the next day, no matter how many. He would have over 150 to grade at the end of the quarter and he would still finish them by the next day.

　　Like I said above, his mind was like a calculator, when he encountered a problem that required long division, 4 digit multiplication, or decimal conversions to fractions, he would stand up and put his hand on his head and look at his feet for around 10 seconds and he would have the answer.
