You'll do both written essays and traditional tests, but none of it felt too overwhelming. Just pay attention and ask for help or an extension, the class is pretty easy if you do that

Definitely one of my favorite teachers. I had him first as a freshman, then again as a junior. Both times he was great, though the class as a junior (APUSH) was challenging. He teaches the topic well and makes it pretty engaging, tries to keep your interest with some individualized activities and doesn't talk for too long. Sometimes there's a lot of work but it rarely felt excessive. Ask for an extension if you need it, as long as you're nice to him he'll give it to you. Just don't be a jerk and you should be on good terms. He's chill almost always, sometimes the class or some kids will just be super annoying or rude to him and he will get a little upset, but it's understandable, and I only ever felt bad for him when that happened. His class really feels like an actual community of people, it's a really fun environment and he's a cool dude. Wish he taught more of my classes.
