I’d say if you think you might enjoy it/benefit from it, go for it. I had a weird experience with my class, although I wouldn’t really say it was a negative one. I really enjoy learning about certain aspects of history, but I’m not much of a dates-and-times person, which is a large part of APUSH. Even so, I passed the exam without really ever studying, and I got a good grade in the class. Every teacher is different, so the activities, assignments, projects, and time periods you focus most on will vary for everyone, but overall it’s probably worth the time. Worst case, even if the teacher ends up being a dud, you’ll still have a textbook that’s chock full of information.
