how do you guys do History?

<p>so for history.. we have all these chapters to read by thursday.. and a test then.. how do you guys study for History? Do you guys outline or just read it ?</p>

<p>online Wikis....</p>

<p>Both. But I only have a chapter for US history to do every two weeks.</p>

<p>Course-notes.org has really good outlines, even if your book isn't American Pageant.</p>

<p>For world history doing a chapter every 0.5/1/2 days makes reading the book really hard... so just outlines. :)</p>

<p>I read it ?? </p>

<p>I did APUSH last year and I just read the book. AMSCO is good for rw before the AP test tho..</p>

<p>I dislike the way history is taught in the u.s (well at my school at least)
i usually read the chapter once then go online to find notes. I read over those notes and make any additional notes.</p>

<p>but my book.. is Alan Brinkley's American History a survey 9th edition and i cant find outlines for it anywhere!</p>

<p>Just make your own outlines/take your own notes then. It'll reinforce the material more than just downloading it anyway.</p>

<p>The book we use has a website with notes already made Online</a> Resources for the AP Edition </p>

<p>I read the outlines and take general notes, but I leave space for additional information. I then go read the book itself and take more specific notes. For tests I usually review my notes and quizzes.</p>

<p>Read... I love history and reading in general.</p>

<p>It just goes into the mind. :s</p>

<p>Read history like a story, not like a bunch of facts to memorize. My 0.02.</p>

<p>Read history as if it were current events.</p>

<p>Like, a hundred years from now, some kid will be slaving over the fact that George W Bush was the president between 2000 and 2008. It'll be just another fact to him. But for us, it's common knowledge. </p>

<p>You have to experience history, if that makes any sense.</p>

<p>i love history too! my book is just soo dry!</p>

<p>Outlines and flashcards</p>

<p>I don't do anything, read a bit sometimes</p>

<p>I don't have World Civ this trimester, but in the past history has been fairly simple. Just read a lot on the topic ( you can get lots of books at a library ) and write an essay to solidify what you have learned. Then in class, simply recite.</p>

<p>world history is such an easy class O_O
especially those essay writing dbq things</p>

<p>okk...
i searched them on wiki.. does it really only come out in AP courses? i've been learning this stuff since like.. middle school -0-</p>

<p>last year I just sorta half listened while taking a nap. that apparently was good enough for an A in apush</p>

<p>I, um, just do some of the assigned reading, and then if we have an essay I actually learn the stuff by reading stuff on the internet.
BUT for quizzes, I must read, and carefully. Because today, we had a quiz - one of the questions was "What was the focus [about peasants] of page 364?"
Lol. I said work, and it was villages. Uruawlkefjwalkefjale
The talked about their WORK on the NEXT page. Uuhhhh... like i'm suppose to remember what page everything is on.</p>

<p>oh thank god mine aren't like that ^. </p>

<p>Blah my book is super dry.</p>
