So, IceQube, if I were to buy a book strictly for supplementing a class you would have me buy 5 steps to a 5 and/or Crash Course, correct?</p>
Yes - the two pack a powerful punch. I’ve looked at most if not all the review books in-depth.</p>
Can we discuss the MC and essays in detail yet?</p>
Essays can be discussed after the 48 hour period, MC should NEVER be discussed.</p>
That’s what CB says, but I don’t see any objection to discussing the MC questions ;). Just be sure to use Tor, in case CB comes chasing after you :P. </p>

is it bad that I did the romanticism/enlightenment one and the one about consumer culture? those seemed way easier…how much does choosing the easy topics affect you in grading?</p>
^ It is irrelevant as long as you can thoroughly develop that topic.</p>
I avoided the consumer culture one because i didn’t have many concrete facts I could use as evidence</p>
For my DBQ I said that Catherine the Great ruled England instead of Russia. I also referred to her taking over the Church of England (When I get in my DBQ-Zone, I forget things and aren’t careful, obviously). Later that day, while eating dinner, I realized that I totally falsified all of that, which sucks, because I know for sure I had an 8 or possibly a 9. The DBQ has a rubric that grades by building points, not deducting them, so should I be fine? I still had 4 groups, 5 POVs, an analytical and explicit thesis, and all that other junk, plus I write pretty eloquently. Could this factual blooper be seen as misinterpreting a document? I otherwise misinterpreted none. If it is a misinterpretation, could the Church of England thing count as a second misinterpretation, thus limiting me to a 5? God, this is embarassing… If you’ve ever seen me write you’d wonder how I’m thinking at all (My AP Gov class once spent 15 monutes talking about the speed of my writing and my handwriting, while my handwriting’s terrible, I write more quickly than just about anyone haha), well apparently I wasn’t thinkingat the moment.</p>
What is up with you guys and outside information on the DBQ. You all realize it doesn’t matter if you don’t get POV or proper groups…just saying…</p>
That wasn’t with the intention of outside historical content lol, that was just the what I thought to be common sense information, though it was all WRONG!</p>
I don’t get one thing you just said but still HA! :P</p>
No, it’s not considered misinterpreting a document. That much I know. </p>
I wouldn’t sweat it, unless you built a couple of POVs around it and used it as a fact in your thesis. </p>
