I took his APUSH class in my sophomore year, Mr. Dumesnil is a kind and accepting person, he always goes out of way to set the boundaries of how difficult things may be, but won’t let you fall behind. Just pay attention in class because he recaps everything that you read a lot of the times. Mr. Dumesnil also does a lot dbq prep compared to other teachers, so be prepared to learn about that the most. He is the most easygoing teacher I have ever met and always tries to curve the grade to assist you. You may feel a little unprepared compared to other teachers when comparing info, however his methods still help you perform well overall with students still getting 4s and 5s on the Ap test.
