YOU determine my classroom performance! How lazy should I be with my online AP US Government class?

[PsychoAndy]

Okay, here's the deal. I'm a high school senior with massive senioritis. Now, most people have said that senioritis kicked in 12 months early for me, but that's another story altogether. Anyways, during first semester, I had a pretty good work ethic, due to the fact that I had to give my GPA a nice kick in the ass, to show colleges that I was kinda smart and productive. While I was still working and not being lazy, I signed up for an AP US Government class online, since I thought it would be cool.

However, this class is a mistake. I never do my assignments before monday (my weekly assignments are due at 12 AM on Weds.), and it's become a big hassle. I'm behind by about 5 assignments, out of about 16. Not to mention the fact that I probably won't need this class for college, and I know I can flunk this class and still graduate. Now, the thousand dollar question is what do i do? Here are my options, or you can make one up that I may or may not like.

a.) Drop out and not do anything. I'd have to take a withdrawed/failed on my report card, though.

b.) Keep working, and I'd get headaches/huge class load/all kinds of crap and wouldn't be able to be lazy.

c.) Barely stay in the class by doing only assignments that I want to, turing them in when I want to, and not caring as much about my grade, maintaining a C or above average.

bah, senioritis kicked in for me freshman year. AP gov was a breeze because of my teacher. i say just maintain the minimum you can while still learning the material. AP tests aren't worth it IMO, especially when you can take the placement test for your specific college and get out of more hours with the same level of understanding.

C. Don't worry about it. It isn't going to change your life.

 

[Dragnov]

I vote C.

No one will look at your high school record once you are in college, and senior high school is the time to go out and have fun. It won't be the same type of fun every again really.

 

[Vampirrella]

C all the way!

Where are u taking these online classes, im intrested...

 

[numark]

I share your pain. I'm in the exact same predicament in one of my AP courses. I can say from experience that what I did was C. And it works too (Not that I'm advocating this in any way, but...well...OK, I am )

 

[DrumminBoy]

I've chosen option C for my AP US History class

 

[dugweb]

lol, ive been a "c" kinda person since, forever... but i suppose, if you cared, you might learn something if you worked hard and got a good grade.

Dude....I had the worst case of senioritis of anyone at my high school last year. Choice C all the way baby!!!!!!!!!!

Senioritis is an addiction.. don't fall into that trap especially if you are planning to go to college. I got it and it stayed with me until junior year in college when I give myself a swift kick to the arse and snapped out of it before it was too late.

Yup.. I was "getting by" in college as well, until the dean of the school of engineering called me in for a meeting.
