by AMANDA B. on March 26, 2025
Well laid out & concise course.
by Christian P. on March 26, 2025
Covers the more interesting part of U.S. history, although some of the questions in the milestones/tests had images that wouldn't load, which was irritating.
by michael m. on March 26, 2025
Great course overall. I enjoyed the well-planned questions, graphs, and other images that added character to what could otherwise be a difficult and, in some cases, boring subject
by Jose M. on March 26, 2025
