Why is American Heritage such an abomination of a class at BYU?

Seems to be a litmus test for BYU student survival.

Or just take AP US History and skip it

CommodoreCoug

Need more than that, unless the rules have changed since I last checked

buffgato

That could be. I was a freshman in '99

CommodoreCoug

I did all 3. No wonder I never took that class at BYU. Everyone always talked about it and I always stayed

I did that, still had to take it. '09

I think you now need AP US History and AP Government...

Doogal McCougar

1/28/20 10:45am

And I think you need a 5 on both tests.

JuicyJam

I skipped it with a 5 on the AP Gov test

I took the class winter 1987 and felt lectures weren’t on the test. The lab

I liked that class. Who was the professor that used to auction the box of donuts?

They did a variation of that last year, using pizza slices. I forget how high

I think Kimball did that

Not sure. I had Frank Fox. I enjoyed the class.

What's the story? Why were donuts auctioned?

Supply and demand.

I want to say they went for like 20 bucks in my class

My parents loved that class and maintain that it was super easy. Wonder when it substantially changed.

I had no issues with it, but I took to a looong time ago. (i.e. the Frank Fox era)

I remember really liking the lectures, but the lab and esp the tests were awful

that's what was so "fun" about that class. Ummm, where are these questions

Like, I remember going over with TAs why I missed points on quizzes.

One of my most enjoyable classes, though that was some time ago.

I tested out of it my freshman year. Good times at the McKay Testing Center.

SierraCoug

Only class I ever failed a paper, because I disagreed with the forum guest.

Adwight

sounds like nothing has changed for decades. I had the same experience as you

Mayor of Cougartown

Luckily I avoided it. AP test FTW.

Meh. I thought it was easy. I was also the guy in the class that broke the

It must be teacher dependant. American Heritage was one of my favorite classes.

Same, and an easy A.

BYUtka

1/28/20 10:41am

absolutely was profession dependent.

Mayor of Cougartown

I can’t really figure out why so many people struggle.

JuicyJam

1/28/20 10:49am

I took it with Frank Fox too. LOVED IT. My only beef was that he would change

Frank Fox: One of my favorite professors at BYU, even though he's a Democrat.

Hated that class enough I dropped it

Gustav

I loved American Heritage. I had Fox and learned a ton — in a huge class.

Apparently good enough they named a school after it.

I got a B and was glad to have it.
