Taking AP Euro was the best decision I made in school in my senior year. The class does not feel overly difficult, and you learn how to see history from complex perspectives. Dr. Ackerman made this class engaging and he helps you to understand the nuances of Euro history that you would not get from any other teacher.

Dr. Ackerman made each and every class enjoyable through his energetic and positive personality. It is very clear that he is extremely passionate about his subject, which made the class more interesting. He is also super helpful and willing to offer his expertise anytime!
