Next Year's School Classes

That's exactly what I had thought too, but when I got there... Ugh.

[Smashin]

It shouldn't be too hard. =\
I've heard the opposite actually. Plus, me loving history should make it a lot easier.

Same here I didn't see a huge problem in choosing it. Honors World History is taught AP here so I'm used to the different thinking styles. Less memorization of dates and more discussion and all that.

You mean AP History actually has more discussion? Holy poop. Fuck yeah.

I don't care if I have a good grade in that class (I do). It's still mind rape.

BIOL 382 (Capstone Research Part II: The Microbiology of Unit 731) [half-credit course]
JAPN 201 (Intermediate Japanese I)
JAPN 270 (Japanese Language and Culture) [essentially, the class is about more colloquial forms of Japanese, the concept of "in-group" and "out-groups" to determine formality, and a survey of Japanese demographics (women, men, foreigners, minorities, GLBTQ community, etc.)]

Winter 2010:
JAPN 202 (Intermediate Japanese II)

Any AP history has a lot more emphasis on discussion, just like it is in upper-div college sections. If it's taught correctly, your teacher should be having you write a lot, too. A typical history course here usually has 1 5 or 6-pager or 2 3-pagers for a 100-level, 2 5-pagers or a 10-pager for a 200-level, and a 20-pager for a 300.

Might be a bit less at state schools, being that it'd be impractical for one professor and 2-3 TAs to read 70 essays for a 300 and 200 essays for a 100.

Um, it'll be junior year in high school for me:
* Analysis of Functions (Pre-calculus)
* AP Chemistry
* Physics Honors
* AP Computer Science
* Spanish 1 (I hate Spanish ;-;)
* English 3 (Although I don't think my district's English classes even deserve the name "English")
* US History Honors

Everything I'm taking is considered a core class, so I don't get any electives (APCS is categorized as mathematics) =/
