I had Mr. Herning for Ethnic Studies and AP World History (in-person). Ethnic Studies and AP World History were both classes that required lots of memorization. Mr. Herning teaches you about how to write and it helped a lot for my IB History classes later on. His classes are definitely tough and you either need to learn the material or fail. Memorization and understanding historical concepts are definitely key.
