A class that can be extremely difficult or extremely easy depending on the type of teacher you have. I recommend asking older students what the teacher(s) at your school are like before taking this class.
Type A AP Euro Teacher
The teacher that makes it easy is a teacher that gives little to know busy work, actually talks about questions that
will be on the exams, and gives curves. Some kids who are retards or are extremely lazy
will still find a way to fail, but majority of kids
will pass, and about half
will pass the AP Exam. They
will even let you share the work with other students at times. This is the type of teacher you want, if you get this kind of teacher, it is a great way to boost your GPA.
Type B AP Euro Teacher
This teacher likes to give 2-3 hours of homework every night, mostly considered busywork every night. Tests
will be on the 8 chapters assigned the night before the test, and almost everybody
will fail and there
will be no curves. They
will also create
retarded projects, useless essays and make you memorize vocab words which wont be on the AP Test. This teacher
will likely give you 5 different textbooks, and expect you to read every page of every textbook by the time the year is over. When the AP Test comes around, the 7 people who haven't dropped the class usually end up doing ok, but at the cost of drastically lowering their GPA. These teachers are responsible for roughly 8.2% of teenage suicide.
Student A:I love my AP European History teacher, I have a 95% and I barely
study, he goes over all the test questions in class, and I only read chapter outlines on his website! My History teacher Rocks!
Student B:Screw you, There are no A's, 1 B, 3 C's, 40 D's and 80 F's in all of my AP European History teacher's classes, I spend 3 hours a night on homework and have to
study 4 hours to
get a D on a test, 5 students have killed themselves this year, 7 are in mental hospitals, 6 have eating disorders, 3 are in jail for trying to kill the teacher. AP European
History sucks.
