AP Government and Politics - Discussing Second Semester

So today in AP Microeconomics, Mr. Nesper briefly talked about what we would be doing in second semester for AP Government and Politics. Here is what I gathered/remember:

• AP Government will be more like history classes than Microeconomics.
• We will be learning AP Government and Politics for three months and a half during second semester, after that we will go back and review AP Microeconomics to prepare for the AP Exam.
• Although Mr. Nesper will be teaching us about the government and about politics, he said that we would have to do a lot of reading to understand the material on our own because he can't go over each subject thoroughly since we will only have three months.
• Yes, we will have homework during winter and spring break.
• We will be taking a test? quiz? the first day we come back to school on the reading material that we will be assigned to read during winter break.
