Matthew's absentee rate, between personal absence and golf trips is inconsistent with success in AP Physics. Add to the fact that he seems to be looking for an easy grade in an AP course, in my opinion. He is reticent to take notes, works with his camera off, and looks for short cuts that don't exist. Either way, the problem is no longer mine. Matthew is being switched to another instructor and I prefer not to teach him any more physics should that not work out.
