AP Humanities vs AP English + AP US History

<p>What are some advantages and disadvantages in taking AP Humanities over two separate classes?</p>

<p>AP Humanities...is?</p>

<p>Maybe TheR9 is referring to AP Art History? That's the closest thing that I can think of that kinda fits "AP Humanities".</p>

<p>Sorry I didn't think AP Humanities were uncommon.</p>

<p>It's AP US and AP English, but same class mates. The two teachers work together and they somehow relate to each other.</p>

<p>Hmm I've never heard of that.</p>

<p>Oh, we have something similar but in the Honors level, or we did before the budget cuts! It was called American Studies Honors. The class studied American Literature that corresponded with the time-period and they were studying in history and drawing conclusion/parallels to literature and history.</p>

<p>Hmm. In my school the top 80-90 students are selected for an Honors program in 8th and 9th grades and there they are divvied up into three groups. For two years, you take your History, English and in 8th grade Science, in 9th grade Latin (now it's Science both years, but when I took it, they switched) with the same 27 or so students.
It was really fun, but I guess that was mainly because of the mass privileges afforded to Honors kids. At least every other week we either had a field trip or an in class party, workload was light, there was a rule against Honors tests on the same day and an unspoken rule about quizzes. But the connectivity between classes was fun too. I'd recommend the AP Humanities.</p>

<p>That'd be so awesome!</p>

<p>My school has that but it’s called AP team. You can only take english by itself though at my school. Ummm I’ve heard it’s pretty life destructive work-wise but it’s supposed to be a phenominal experience so idk.</p>

<p>Do however you think you’d learn best.</p>

<p>AP US is SUPER hard though so only take the class if you enjoy history.</p>
