Your now going to be my teacher during online school. My teacher just makes us read the book and take a test on it. I cant do that.

I just wanna say: you saved my life with APUSH and you’re doing it with gov. Thank you.

thanx for making these videos man, i'm killing Ap Gov because of these

[elizabethjohnston]

I like using these videos as a foundation before I read the chapter so I already have more basic ideas established in my mind before I read so I can look for details but after hearing all this I just want to take a nap

[ketakikulkarni]

[annarapoport]

These videos are really helping my grade! I didn't understand a lot in class and this really cleared things up!

[jackv]

Thank you for this! I am a terrible reader and cannot learn from text books, even when I take notes. Watching this really helps.

[bella-steed]

Is it bad that I watch this rather than reading the actual book? I just cannot retain information when I read

[dalinladet]

will you be making more of these gov chapter videos soon?
