<< If you don't have E&M, what's the point of AP Physics? AP Physics should have both semesters so you can take both parts of the AP test and get college credit for both semesters....

And another thing, why do you need 2 semesters of mechanics? ;)
>>



I dunno :p
Last year when they took the AP test, they just took the E&M portion optionally and did "alright" because they sorta "skimmed" it on the Mechnics curriculum...
We're sorta following along the book:
Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday-Resnick-Walker

Class every day at 9am, cept for Tuesday at 8am. Done every day at noon, cept for Friday at 2. I dunno what half the classes are. Transferring from one school to another, so I just signed up for whatever the advisor told me to.

One of em is GEOL206, Oceans & Nations. Something about how the oceans have affected relations between nations over time. Should prove to be interesting. It's one of 5 or 6 classes required to fill some international relations requirement for graduation. Happened to have an open spot, so I took it. The most boring one seems to be BIO100. Barf. I've already had a basic BIO class, but they say it wasn't basic enough. Waste of my time and money.

<<
my high school schedule ( my LAST semester )

1. Origins of Science
2. Discrete Math
3. AP Psychology
>>



That AP Psych class, is it a 1 semester class for you? For us it is and I'm a bit worried that it would be moving too fast, if it's normally a 2 semester class.

My schedule:
[*]Music Theory
[*]Honors Physics
[*]AP Computer Science
[*]AP Probability and Stats
[*]Advanced Composition
[*]Calculus
[*]AP Psychology

No idea...but my friend took it last year and most of the people in her class (including her) got a 5 so I'm guessing the teacher must be really really good.

Well I have two pre-registered courses (math and programming), and I have to build the rest of my schedule this upcoming Saturday (January 6th). I think I'll have about 6 or 7 classes. Hopefully I can make a nice schedule.

I am also a Junior at high school, it sucks sweaty balls. This is the worst year, ever. Last year I could sleep through all my classes and get straight A's. Now I have to work my ass off and only get 4 A's and 2 B's. Damn those college classes. :| :disgust:
