I am a Junior taking AP US History. Tons of present day seniors advised me and my friends not to take this class because it was pointless. Being the stubborn person that I am I took it anyway. BIG MISTAKE. My teacher paid his friend $50 to use all his class notes and assignments for the YEAR (he told us this the 1st day- he thought he was SO smooth). So we do crap loads of hw and he doesn't ven grade it!!! We're currently on chapter 22................and I can tell you that I am not looking forward to my semester final. Our last test was over 1800-1850, he gave us 10 points to review telling the class we'd be fine if we studied. Yeah, none of us passed! out of 100 questions only 23 revolved around the review points he gave us. I hope the rest of the nation is doing better! Good luck

I dunno guys, I guess we all agree APUSH is a pretty uhhhhhh wierd class. I mean overall its pretty okay but the thing that kills me is all the work my teacher gives. He gives us a test, chapter, and vocab (avg25 words) everytime we meet, and if you can believe it, we still havent gotten to chapter 20!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention his pointless lectures on some topic waaaaaay of the subject. Either that or he just rambless on about the SAME exact chapter ecerytime when we're really 2 chapters ahead of him. To tell you the truth.... I don't think he knows what he's doing because I haven't learned much (all that I have learned, I taught to myself). THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!! :confused:

you people have it easy man, i use the book "American History: A survey" by Alan Brinkley Eleventh Edition. every chapter is about 30 pages. i have to do one every week, sometimes two. Every week i have an 3-5 page essay, and a project, plus a test every two weeks. ITS HELL!!!

.....that's impossible.

You can't have all that in one week ,EVERY week, your teacher would get so behind in grading it's not even funny.
