AP US History [Speed-run] Summer Prep

About

Overview: Each week, we will cover a unit outlined in the AP College Board curriculum. Because of the fast-paced nature of this series, I will only be going over the most crucial points of each unit/time period. This is why each class will be 1hr20min long! The class will be a mix of lectures, games, and mini-practice tests.

Target audience: Students taking APUSH next year (but anyone interested in US history or history in general is welcome to attend, I will edit the max learner limit accordingly)

Schedule: Sessions will be on Fridays other than the first session. Happy 4th of July! We will start on Saturday 7/5 for Session 1 ONLY.

Homework: 30min-60min of homework is expected for each week. Again, because this is a fast-moving course, lectures and activities will cover most of the class time. The majority of homework will be self-practice on Khan Academy with MCQs.

*Note: Granted, you will be learning a lot about US history through this series, but this is NOT an in-depth course and should NOT be taken in place of an actual APUSH class. This class is only meant to serve as a precursor to better prepare you for your upcoming APUSH class.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

No strict attendance policy. I will not be kicking anyone out of the series, but if you plan on being absent, send me a message so I can send you the slides of the day.

If you are taking this series to prepare for next year's APUSH class, you should make every class possible.

If you are just here to learn about US history, feel free to attend whichever session (covering the time period) that interests you.
