Below are comments from students who completed The
A.P. U.S. History Class.
“As corny as it may sound you begin to realize AP History class is not a class but a family…”
“…. He gives you nap time when you need it most and trust me you will thank him for it one day…”
“….finishing the AP and having the whole class and Greez to share it with you is one of the best feelings….”
“Don’t let Greez shut you up or make you feel stupid, he is just playing Devil’s advocate just stick with your position and only hope to learn from your statements. You can talk to Greez about anything so go to him with any of your concerns; but remember to stay respectful. Try to make connections with History, with time and place and events don’t be too tired to remember…”
“He may appear hard on you, but he cares about you and allows you to express yourself. He is chill”
“He will work your but off and at the same time make you giggle….” “It also provided me with the skills to understand History like a true Historian would. It inspired me to look deeper for the truth and take the extra step of researching on my own what is not included in most textbooks. I walked away with a much better appreciation of History as a subject.”
“…This is preparation for college, grow up, this is the real deal. When you get through all the outline and tests and AP Prep you will feel like you accomplished something, and it is the greatest feeling in the world…”
“…never let Greez intimidate you but do all your work…” “If you ever think Greez is doing something wrong speak up he will listen”
“…never give up, Greez never gives up on his students…” Michael
L. Class of 2001
“We just took our AP test a week ago and to be honest we were al really prepared for it. So I guess this where some advance is going to come in DO ALL the outlines!”
“…If he says a lesson is important you better give him your
full attention, but in general he is very accepting of everyone’s differences
and special needs…” Sara A. Class of 2001
“Essays are important, very important, practice your writing and remember P.R.O.P. you will learn. ANALYZE, ANALYZE… although it was a bit difficult for me I am confident all of you can do it…” “much of the learning comes from reading and outlining on your own…”

“Trips with Greez are good. The best part is going together to eat afterward at an exotic restaurant. One trip I went on we went to eat Indian food at the most gaudy, and crazy, and waked out restaurant possible. It was fun.”
“Greez is a laid back cool person. Really, he opens himself
to listen to what’s stressing you out, and he makes things in class as stress
free as possible as an AP class can be. Hopefully
you will be appreciative of him. He is definitely going to get on your nerves at some point, but
it will turn to love. (gag)…” Aquilah G. Class of 2001
