OVERVIEW OF COURSE:

The A.P European History course is, by the College Board’s definition, a “learning

experience equivalent to that of an introductory college course in European history or

Western civilization (1450 to the present).” Teachers are required to present “students

with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the topics

and materials in European history.” We use a college-level text with a high reading

level. In addition, we will use a primary source reader and other scholarly reference

materials throughout the year.

HOMEWORK:

Students should expect 6-8 hours of homework a week. The majority of this work will be

completing the chapter reading guides (additional assignments as given). You will need

to be able to read the textbook and fill out the guides on your own.* I very rarely lecture

and it is your responsibility to come to class knowing the content. You are responsible

for being disciplined and managing your time to make sure that you are keeping up with

your reading and homework.

Textbooks will be available to pick-up in the library beginning on Tuesday, May 31.

*I encourage all students thinking about taking AP Euro to look through the textbook

and make sure that he/she is comfortable with the reading level of the book.
