| − | This course has two tracks: Honors and regular. The Honors track is for those who want to excel on a [[College Board]] exam, or are very interested in history and want to learn more about it. The Honors track will also address more issues of bias than the regular track. Students can try the Honors track and then drop back to the regular track later if they like, so there is no risk in attempting the Honors track. The more you put into the class, the more you will learn and gain.
