I don’t know about his other classes, but for AP World History, the homework can be long but he gives plenty of time to finish it. Tests are based on overall “big picture” knowledge and not specific details. E. g. questions will be like “using your knowledge of world history, what was one major demographic shift that occured in the period 1450-1750? ” Rather than “in what year was the battle of hastings? ”. I find this to be easier but it’s still a challenging class. Although, it’s not overwhelming by any means.

This class defined my expectation of how good a teacher and class can be. It is still my favorite as a college student. However, it was also one of the most challenging classes I have taken as a poor writer.
