2This course is very informative, as in it helps you understand things in the world in a completely different way than what the news may be reporting on TV. It may take awhile for some people to fully grasp the concepts discussed in this course, but once you are able to immediately think of full and properly explained responses to FRQs, than you know you've got it.
Never Stop Learning!
