<p>Hey guys.</p>
<p>My school is in the process of course selections. I'm a freshman right now, but I'm talking all honors sophomore and junior classes (one senior). I was given the option of either AP Human Geography or AP Art history. Which one is easier? Which one is more interesting? I don't have experience in either, and I have a demanding couseload for next year.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>AP Human Geo will be far more easier. From what I understand, AP Art History is tough because there is so much memorization involved.</p>
<p>I also think Human Geo would be more interesting, but that's all preference. I have a couple of friends that are really interested in Art History.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Does anybody else have more advice?
BUMP!!</p>
<p>Um, AP Art History is generally thought of as hard, while AP Human Geo is so easy that colleges don't accept it. It also REALLY depends-do you like art? do you like history (i think that's what human geo is?)</p>
<p>I think AP Human Geography would be easier, but AP Art History would be more intresting</p>
<p>Thanks. BUMP!!!</p>
<p>I am taking AP Human Geography next year... I know the teacher really well, however, next year will only be the second year she will have taught the course.<br>
A lot of people have discouraged me from taking it because she supposedly is teaching it badly. I'm still going to take it just because of the subject itself - hopefully this will save me if the class is just as bad as people warned.</p>
<p>I am taking AP Art History right now - our teacher has not really prepared us, therefore I'm not taking the AP exam in May. I initially took it because, well, I thought it would be interesting, it is, mostly it involves architecture which I am not really fond of...</p>
<p>In other words, I'd say go for Human Geography solely based on the fact that I think it would be more interesting.</p>
<p>I think Art History would be more amazing but harder, but Human Geography would be more fun but useless. Plus, if you care about the credit part (who does these days?), what would you use 8 Human Geography credits for? Maybe I'm wrong on this part...</p>
<p>So take your pick: Amazing or fun?</p>
<p>BUMP!!! 10char</p>

<p>I don't really know, as art history is not offered at my school, but human geography is the required Social Studies course our sophomore year. I personally loved human geography class. It was not silly memorization of countries and capitals, but in depth analysis of acculturation, migration patterns, word origins, and current global events through the lens of culture, ethnicity, environment and religion. I took the AP test my junior year, got a 5, and, true, it was really easy. I had no idea colleges laugh at it, considering our class was really intensive, creative, and required leaps of logic, and caused many lazy honors students to drop out. This could be because I'm a potential anthropology major, or our teacher made it fun/hard, but I'll be the lone voice that stands up for geography, since you're bumping your post.</p>
