Agreed - not sure it’s of any use in college credit, as other AP courses also count.
It also was my son’s favorite class, though. He loved the discussions and intellectual stimulation and felt honored to have been accepted (it was invite-only at his school).
The course required something like a 70-page paper; it is indeed a lot of research and writing.
But again, for the right kid, it’s a chance to really grow.
