AP Government Comparative

<p>I am thinking of taking this class online as my school does not offer it, and I was wondering about the difficulty of the course, and is it manageable online?</p>

<p>I’m interested in either AP Gov or AP Euro. If you’ve taken either or both, what did you think? Was it interesting? Relevant? I have a feeling that Gov would be more applicable to my life/career, but I am fond of history as well. Is Gov pure memorization of laws? (the thing I hate about AP US is that we don’t really analyze the effects of laws or talk about their significance, we just regurgitate a bunch of ancronyms).</p>

<p>AP Comparative Gov’t studies the UK, the UN, Russia, China, Iran, Mexico, and Nigeria. More specifically, their current state of affairs, their brief history, and their political/social/economic traits. </p>

<p>It’s a hard class. You have to keep up with everything going on (like the current political crisis in Nigeria) in order to do well. It’s a lot of memorization, but as the course title says, you’re constantly comparing the countries to each other to see their common cleavages.</p>

<p>I think it would be beneficial if I was considering going into International Relations</p>
