<p>Next year I'm taking Honors Geometry and I've been thinking about taking Honors Algebra II online next year with EPGY. Do you think this is a good or bad idea?</p>
<p>i guess if you have the money?</p>
<p>doesnt matter much</p>
<p>Why would you want to do that? Can you get into more classes?
Think of how you'd benefit.</p>
<p>I could take harder math classes math classes and get up to Calculus BC. (Geometry Honors, Algebra II in one year, then Analysis Accelerated (pre-calc) sophomore, Calculus AB junior year, Calculus BC senior year)</p>
<p>sounds good. do it i guess.</p>
<p>I wouldn't do it. Online classes can never match the in class experience. Besides even top colleges like harvard only expect their students to have had an introductory calculus course. Also Calculus BC is pretty much the same thing as AB with like 3 additional topics. It is not worth your time and stress.</p>
<p>Hmm. I'm in BC Junior year. Our course mashed AB and BC together.</p>
<p>Skipped Algebra II (Borrowed a textbook from school + learned it over the summer). Really, it's not much of a stretch. I found the material pretty easy.</p>
<p>A few of my friends skipped Pre-Calc sophomore year. We're all in the same class now. It's fun.</p>
<p>Taggart you realize normal people dont do that right? you must be insanely smart, because a lot of people take algebra 2 as a class and still struggle even with the material taught to them by a capable instructor. it seems like a lot of the smart people on this site dont understand that most people dont have their capabilities. at my school (which isnt like a run down, crappy school by the way, it's actually pretty good) calc AB is the highest class offered and it's for seniors.</p>
<p>Sounds good if you can handle it.</p>
<p>Jonathan - You should be fine. Algebra II isn't a big deal - it'll seem like Deja Vou.</p>
<p>i'd suggest doing geometry over the summer and getting into algebra 2 freshman year...</p>
<p>Haha, if ChaosTheory says you can do it, of course you can. =] (though unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to admit that half the time, I don't know what he's talking about).</p>
<p>GreenDayFan, all I'm saying that it's possible. I'm not some math genius, and there is no way I am even going into a career in Mathematics or Engineering. I just don't think an instructor is needed for lower-level mathematics. It's nice to have that crutch to lean back on, but aside from a few choice questions to ask -- you can do the course by yourself without too many problems. I'm pretty sure I ended up doing better on the Algebra II midterm + final than a lot of the kids who did take the class. You just need someone to keep you motivated and on task.</p>
<p>Pardon me if I don't sound too coherent -- Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend is blasting in my ear.</p>
<p>Make sure your school gives credit for it.</p>
