Well, as a teacher of AP US history classes, you learn all about US history, which seems a bit obvious.  Almost all students who take the class (at least where I teach) plan on taking the AP exam in May.  Therefore, there's a strong focus on factual content and we cover the entire subject, from discovery and settlement to modern times.  Students have about 8-15 pages of reading a night, homework questions, an electronic bulletin board, papers, biweekly quizzes, and tests, which include multiple choice, short answer, and essays.  There is also practice for the DBQ - document based question - which asks you to take a position and defend it, using the documents you are given as well as your outside knowledge on the topic.  \n\nIn essence, while you learn content, you also learn discipline, how to write, how to think analytically, and how to construct a historical argument.  While the work is challenging, I don't think it's impossible.\n\nIf you are asking because you are thinking of taking the class next year, I hope you do take it.  It's a lot of work but very much worth it!  Good luck.

My university education is in history. To understand who we are, you need to understand who we were.

We learn about our past to know who we are, Where do we come from and Why we are the way we are. The knowledge of the past lets us know the roots of our civilisation, the basic principles that guide our lives. The knowledge of past makes us aware of the mistakes our ancestors did and gives us an opportunity to avoid doing the same again. In order to plan ahead one must have the knowledge of the past, one must know what forms the basis of great progress, how great deeds were done, who did them and why did they do so. History makes us remember the sacrifices made by those who are no longer with us, it makes us appreciate the value of life and freedom. The knowledge of the past is like a guide, it helps us to rationalise things, judge between good and bad and to a certain extent it forms the basis of our faith and relegion.\n\nGeorge Santayana, the famous Spanish Historian once said about History :" Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.", to highlight the callousness of early 20th century governments about lessons from the past, Friedrich Hegel, a famous German Historian once said "What history and experience teach us is this: that people and government never have learned anything from history or acted on principles deduced from it."

Is this a history question?

That's an awfully general question.  The topic is interesting, however.  I think you're best off reading some books or Web sites, rather than getting the information from us folks. I mean, how much do WE know?    :)
