I took AP Euro last year. I know a lot of people may dislike his class, but honestly even taking it online through hybrid, his class was my absolute favorite so far. His lectures were far more interesting than anything you'd find on an AP book. He has so many artifacts from WWII and WWII along with tons of video clips and stories about his own family background with the war. His class is fast-paced and incredibly straightforward. The only problems I can come up with are with tech (but you usually wouldn't need tech with the AP exam anyway). He doesn't assign a lot of homework, but things like the written homework used to take me at least 2 hours every day to formulate. Overall, don't take his class if you're just looking for the AP credit and doing tons of practice exams and random AP strategies to get a good score. Only take this class if you have a genuine interest in history and want to take in everything he says in the lectures (which tend to be more story-times). I barely studied the AP exam, but still passed with a 5, thanks to his storytimes everyday :))
