Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
The thing I like and don't like about AP courses is the freedom. There is no homework for most of my AP classes, exept for Chemistry. For the others you can do work outside of class if you want, if not, it's your problem.
wow, classes at my school are 55 minutes long. my ap us teacher is great. we do powerpoint a lot, sometimes videos, dbqs, some other small assignments, rarely group work and then the lectures are part of the powerpoints.but we do a lot of vocab and cornell notes. cornell notes for each chapter and voacb for each chapter. only downer. :D
My AP History class is pretty great as well. It's a 45 minute period so we basically are given notes but it isn't boring because my teacher really loves what he is teaching and gets very into it. Also we have really great and open projects we can work on for a test grade. If we aren't doing notes then we are just having a discussion or maybe watching the occasional movie clip. He even hired a group that re-enacts a Civil War camp for us to go see at a park as a field trip the other day. We have two day tests, one day is multiple choice with an informal essay and the next day is a timed DBQ. So I pretty much can't complain about anything! Well at least in my AP History. AP English is a whole other story lol.
HAHAHAHAH yeah my ap english teacher is crazy. to make matters worse, hes OCD, in case you dont know what that is its Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. you can pretty much figre out how he grades our essays,.......sigh
lol....you poor thing
My APUSH teacher has OCD.
It doesn't really show in his grading as it does in his personality though.
my apush class is only lectures. we have to read two chapters and fill out (2) 10 page study guides a week. we only have the class 4 days, 3 are just lectures the whole period long and the 4th day were tested. we have our midterm tomorrow.. but yea, i think most ap classes are based on work you do outside of class. the "get-by" students are those who venture outside of the classroom and find out info on their own... i guess thats the only way to pass apush, at least in my school.
oh & i have a question.. is this site only forums or does it have practice quizes and notes on it too? i jsut signed up and i dont know where things are...
hey, i'm new in APUSH too in pennsylvania.....basically thats what our class is too.....a bunch of lecturing, but we get some maps and worksheets, but not a lot.....we have to do 2 chapters per test (for right now) and we do A LOT of outlining......but i love the class because my teacher puts so much emphasis on it.....shes so funny sometimes......
good luck in your class tho
thats what i love most about the APUSH class....i like being allowed to be independent.....
