I loved it! Everything was so interesting and easily understood and the graphics were nice too :D I didn't even mind outlining every chapter. Having a great teacher helped too. It was very informative, but so. That in addition to its sometimes needlessly advanced vocabulary and small script made it hell to slog through, even though it was an interesting hell. I read the entire thing, did a review book and got a 5 on the AP exam, so mission accomplished, I suppose.
For what it's intended to be, it deserves stars. But it IS a textbook. Don't expect it to be fun, especially since it's one of the major reasons I don't read as much for fun anymore. I usually like history books, but this book was lacking a little. Information wise it was rich, but it falls short of the five star mark. I would have liked it more had the structure of it and layout of it been a bit better. I was forced to read this book in Freshman year, and I did so--complete with Advil to ward off the migraines and eye drops for my red eyes after all-nighters before tests.
Suffice to say that it was miserable, in the process of learning the material. Afterwards, though, I gained a great apprecation for this book. I just graduated from High School and went back to a Freshman classroom and bought the book off some grateful kid for ten bucks. I've begun to read it again, this time with a much more learned perspective. Love this book, love what it taught me. Could have been more reader-friendly eg: jokes but the content was interesting enough, and presented in a readable fashion.
What did I think? Well, everyone out there probably doesn't want to read everything I have thought about this book. But now that I am finished I am ecstatic and want to have a party and will never take another AP history class again. Through this book I have discovered that history is definitely not my calling.
I just don't enjoy it. Props to people who do; its just not for me. Barbara Sun.

Does anybody who has taken AP World History know a great way that they took notes for the class? Study Guides. I am not sure how to identify what is necessary and what is not, and to compensate, wrote 43 pages of notes, when the teacher was looking for no more than NHS Announcements.

Whether you are a veteran or novice AP teacher, choosing the textbook for your course sets the foundation for much of your teaching and student learning. With many textbook options to select from, teachers can easily gloss over a major aspect of the selection process—the teacher and student ancillary resources.
With the focus on the student textbook, and competing lists of ancillary materials that often look similar, seldom do teachers truly have the opportunity to compare and contrast the resources that can transform a traditional textbook selection process into a curriculum development process for the course based on the teacher's instructional strengths and teaching style.
