I'm a public school student who has an interest in history. Unfortunately, my school's history department only offers 2 AP classes. My school allows people to take classes on VHS, so I was wondering if AP Euro would be a good class to take on VHS. If anyone has taken a VHS course, could you tell me how they are and if you think taking AP Euro would be a good idea? Thanks!
I think that taking AP Euro would be a good idea. I took AP Government virtually in high school, and it was overall a good experience. The teachers were knowledgeable and engaging, and the class prepared me decently well for the AP exam.
The main downside of the virtual format was that discussions with classmates and teachers were not as rich and effective as they are in-person. Chat-based class "discussions" were not as in-depth as classroom conversations, for example.
Hope this helps!
