This is first time this teacher teaches AP American Government and Politics so a lot of stuff is being polished as we go, so ignore all of the quality of life criticisms right now, I am 100% sure it is going to be better next year. This teacher does his own quizzes that don’t follow College Board format - instead of 5 MCQ options he has only four. A lot of questions are not, least and except type so a lot of folks are getting it wrong for misread, so be careful and always fill out your portfolio, even extra credit essential questions. They will bump your grade up from the upsets of the test.

Mr Veitch is a good teacher in general, just right now this particular class needs some polishing. He has a lot of lectures type lessons which are sometimes boring, but for every subunit he has some very good activity which helps understand the subject. Also I wish he had more debates, since our school is infamous for having a lot of these in our social studies and so far we only had 2 though it has been an entire semester.
