Conservative propaganda? Wut? If you mean it teaches in accordance with gospel principles, then yes. Other than that, it's bipartisan.

Maybe the reason you’ve heard it’s conservative propaganda is because the course includes learning the founding principles of our country and those are viewed as conservative by today’s standards....

Anyone else here who took it with Brett Latimer? This man changed my life forever—for better. (I’ve always been liberal politically.) Everyone else I talk to—who took it from another prof—had a...

I think of American Heritage like this:You can do well in a lot of freshman courses by exerting minimal effort (e.g. showing up to class but not reading the book, or not showing up to class and reading...

Yeah, I would take AHTG. The tests are wordy and sometimes confusing but other than that it's not too hard to do well in the class. I lean left and I feel like the class is pretty non-partisan in how...

I'd also recommend considering taking it through BYU independent study. I took it over the summer and didn't think it was bad at all. 15 units. One 300 word max "essay" due for each unit along with...

I took Poli Sci 110 as a Poli Sci major. I really liked the class.

I took POLI 110 and one of the History classes to circumvent American Heritage. I really enjoyed them and didn’t find them to be particularly hard. If you can write essays fairly easily and coherently,...

I'd definitely recommend the poli 110 route. You are doing more work than you need to by taking american heritage if you already have econ. Poli 110 is a great politically neutral class and the...

I had him! I actually really loved that class. I felt like he did a pretty good job of not being overly conservative.

Karpowitz. I enjoyed his lectures for the most part. He kept them pretty interesting and used a lot of third-party stuff (videos, songs, etc) to supplement the teaching, which I liked

I personally found the class pretty easy. I had pope for a professor, and with a solid foundation of how the US government works, as well as US history, I stopped going to class, read the text, and...

I also think it's reputation as a hard class is self-perpetuating and people just like to talk about it being hard because it has that reputation.

I second this ^ I think mostly you get freshmen complaining that it’s so hard because all their classes are “so hard.” I didn’t find it unusually taxing and overall one of my easier classes. I also...

I need to fill my American heritage credit before I graduate. I've heard that American Heritage is one of the harder classes at BYU, that it's not a good class, it's conservative propaganda, etc. I am...
