This class can either be fun or absolutely horrible. If you like history, you'll do well there. If you don't, then your grades likely won't be the best. A lot of this class is just remembering what the subject is about and then going over the information over and over (usually with minor quizzes, readings, and kahoots) until it's seared into your brain. Luckily for you, each topic has its own quiz and then you can forget about it. There's a lot of note-taking and "shut up and listen" going on, but if you put in a bit of effort, you'll get by fine.

Mr. Carr is a devoted catholic and has the Catholic Dad Energy that makes him slightly intimidating when mad (it's a bit hard to take him seriously though, considering his short stature. If you see this Mr. Carr, no you didn't. ), so it's best to try and stay on his good side. If you turn your homework in and get good test grades, being a favorite is a practiced ease.
