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

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

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

And I think you need a 5 on both tests.

I skipped it with a 5 on the AP Gov test

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
buffgato

The lectures were great. Inspiring even. The quizzes and tests had nothing to do with the lectures.

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

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

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