Class of 2024
The class has lots of assessments, projects, political cartoons, etc. This also means lots of points with 350 to 400+ every quarter. The midterm and final, at least for me, were skill-based, meaning that you can't study for it (It's comprehension) Memorization is a pretty big part of this class, in my opinion. For every quiz/test, I would say you should use slideshow notes/study guides to study for them. If you want to be excessive, I'd recommend reading the book as well.
Class of 2020
There are lots of political cartoons, socratic seminars, and tests every week.

Class of 2024
There are lots of political cartoons, which require logic to solve. We sometimes also do current events. Expect some projects you'd have to do outside of class, such as websites, videos, etc.
