Overall, Jay Harmon's AP World History Crash Course book was effective, however, there are aspects of the book that could be improved. The book's religion chart was clear and concise, however, the book's long list of bullet points seemed more like a long textbook that did not define its terms rather than a brief summary. In addition, the online test was confusing and unhelpful. Harmon did a good job at displaying the key facts for the AP World History exam, but must keep in mind that his readers are looking for a clear and concise summary of events for the exam.
Harmon's organization of the book needs help. Harmon's crash course book used long lists of bullet points in an attempt to give readers information. But as a student looking for a quick summary of a period of time, these bullet points did not give an overall idea of the time period. Instead, Harmon should have used short summaries at the beginning of each chapter, and then gone into detail with bullet points for those looking for more explanation. By giving an overall summary, readers can know the overall trends of the chapter. If readers are confused about a specific term used, they could look to the bullet points for more information. In addition, Harmon would sometimes mention key terms and then fail to define them. As a student looking for a quick way to review, one does not want to have to go to an online source to look up the key term. Harmon's organization needs to appeal to the student looking for an overall summary upfront, with more details for those looking for more information.
The AP World History Crash Course attempted to use some diagrams to appeal to students. The world religions chart was a helpful way to look at important religions by comparing them side-by-side.
