Like all classes at Monta Vista, your grade depends on the teacher you get. Belshe is the easier of the two APUSH teachers. She doesn't post grades until pretty much the very end of the semester so you will have no idea what you got until the end. There is a TON of reading (I'm not kidding). She once made us read 60 pages just to give us a 2-minute quiz with 5 questions that were on the tiniest details in the packet that people usually gloss over. However, she does grade a little easier on the DBQ/LEQs compared to Hartford, but she is still hard.
