Abstract

AMERICAN HISTORY ACHIEVEMENT reviews the whole of American history from pre-Columbian times to the present. Though the project is aimed at high school students, its question-and-answer format reinforces learning at almost every level. Advanced placement classes will find this a good review throughout the year, especially within 2 weeks of the test. Some may find the questions repetitious, but they are in-depth. AHA is recommended for high schools for this reason. Education methods courses in social studies might find it of interest as well as student teachers conducting survey courses.
