Everything on the quizzes are not necessarily reviewed in class, but it is in the chapter reading homework. The class itself, apush, is super easy. Its very important though that you keep up with it and spread out the reading homework or you will be stuck playing catch up all year like me. Mr Cook is super nice and pretty flexible and he gives you up to a week after the due dates to get chapter homework turned in. I felt very prepared for the AP test, we did saq's throughout the year and i feel confident on how i did on the ap test. he goes over everything and he has a sense of humor. We only spend like 10 seconds per topic and like 2 days on the whole civil war for ex, and then there are questions about it on the tests and saqs, but thats not his fault its an ap class and we don't have much time to go over eveything in detail. But yeah, just take notes, i would recomment making a google doc to put all your notes for the unit you are on it makes it much easier to find your notes in one place when you need info for saq study guides. Personally i don't like to take notes on paper in this class because everything goes by so fast so you don't have time to write everything, plus if you write it on a doc you can ctrl f and find things you need way faster 10/10 recommend. Make headings and subheadings on notes it will make your life so much easier, bullet points, don't just write what mr cook has on slides because all slides are on schoology anyways. Write what he is saying because the slides alone give you no useful information.
I took US History, so this is based off of that. The class is easy. No textbook, *minimal* homework, fun activities with your peers. It teaches a lot as well. Definitely good for someone who wants to learn but doesn't want to stress over grades or credits. Extra credit is a flowing fountain if you answer questions in class or do her bidding (I've been asked to fix curtains, vacuum the class, post flyers - I know, I was desperate, okay? ). Yes, there is a lot of writing in the notebook but I think most can handle that. If you make any kind of effort, you'll get the grade you want and you'll learn history as well. Win-win?
memorize! psych is pretty vocab heavy, make sure you really know the terms and can apply them to multiple scenarios. practice mcqs will really help
She is super nice and will do a lot to accommodate you. The anatomy class is very difficult, It involves a lot of memorization, and the textbook will be your best friend. She does tests often and usually, they are multiple-choice and FRQs. Her finals aren't cumulative but they are difficult. You also do a fair amount of discussions too. There are a couple of labs (including one with your own blood) and some other activities. The class is fun as long as you keep up and pay attention. She is pretty serious about late work so definitely keep up or you'll fall behind quickly.
