Modern European History AP
This year long course is divided into four quarters consisting of a total of eighteen chapters broken

twenty to twenty-five question multiple-choice tests, a group of five identifications and a choice of one of
three thematic essay questions. Each chapter will be introduced with a summary and listing of “People
Places and Events” relevant to that specific chapter they are to be defined and turned in the day of each
chapter test. In addition a minimum of one DBQ will be assigned per quarter. Art History lectures, slides
and video presentations will be held on Wednesday class periods throughout the year. Each art history
presentation will be followed with a short answer, fill in the blank format quiz.
