What does /his/ think of AP world history? This is for American high school students taking a college-level course. A exam is going to be taken in two days by several hundred thousands kids.
That was one of my school's standard AP classes for sophomore year.
Shit was easy, I was delirious and fading in and out of lucidity during the whole thing and I pulled a 4.
I remember when I was going into my softmore year it was available. Applied for it as well as 4 honors classes, made it into all 4 but not APWH :( and I loved/love history. That's why I'm fucking here.

They now absolutely try to destroy Environmental Determinism as an approach to the progress of civilizations throughout most of the actual geography unit of the class. Took a look at the review book I recommended to my class and it literally states that it is a racist bigoted false theory used by 19th century imperialists to justify their behavior. Makes it seem like a bunch of greedy politicians created it rather than Aristotle. Showing my class Guns, Germs, and Steel after the test date just to make sure that they don't get the idea the class was trying to push onto them.

Are you a non-American co sidering your comment? Because they give anyone AP class in here.
Never took it but at our school it's super duper hard
The teacher makes you write DBQs like every other week but in APUSH/AP Euro the teacher gives you like two throughout the entire year
APUSH and AP Euro were pretty lit though, got 4s on both

It wasn't nearly eurocentric enough. One of my essay questions was about Rastafarianism the other was about sub-Saharan Africa before they developed writing.

I mean, it's AP World. There's a separate AP Euro course for European history.
at my high school, the options for sophmore history were either that or Modern World History (1918-now), so I took AP World and really liked it. was my first exposure to anything Chinese in history before WWII. Still have the damn chinese dynasty song memorized
