Dr. Rick Toomey

As a Teacher

A very good professor. He really gives you an idea that he knows the material well and is passionate about it. He rewards high test grades with certain percentages which he adds to your final grade which can be a big help. DO NOT fall behind in his class because he will move very quickly and will be willing to help you as much as he can. He will require that you clear your graphing calculators memory of EVERYTHING before you take a test or you will not be able to use it on the test. He requires that you learn alot of material, and when he tells you to learn something you will be using it later on some form of test. Rarely gives homework in class. He is a fan of the OWL System and will assign several problems in it every week which are a SIGNIFICANT part of your final grade and help you to maintain and learn the material.

Things about him

He is a funny teacher and his stories are some of the best I have heard while at the academy. His class is worth taking for these stories alone. He is very respectful but demands respect back and will call you if you refer to him as "Rick" or "Toomey" without including some part of his title. He does not allow people to sleep in class and will throw you out if he catches you. He loves debunking false advertising and loves to read ads for things such as ion fans and ion hair dryers.
