AP Where are you at??

<p>What are you guys doing for AP English (like what do you read), AP Physics C (where are you guys at?), AP Chemistry (what are you doing?) or AP Calculus BC (what are you doing?)???please??lol</p>

<p>Our AP English class is kinda weird, we don't seem to be following any sort of AP outline...but we've read In Cold Blood, Red Badge of Courage, Black Boy, The Crucible, Of Mice and Men, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, and Ethan Frome so far.</p>

<p>In Calc BC, we've just spent about two weeks on intro to definite integrals.</p>

<p>My AP Physics class is supposed to be for Physics B, but about a third of the kids wind up taking Physics C anyway...we're on rotational kinematics and torque right now.</p>

<p>My AP English class is messed up. We are absolutely following no curriculum, everything is random, and all we do is read strange essays by very little-known people and talk about how they made us feel. NOTHING relating to the AP test. It is very frustrating! </p>

<p>Physics C, we are just finishing up two-dimensional motion--lots of drop and parabola problems. We have covered motion in one dimension and vectors as well.</p>

<p>I don't know if you mean English Language or Literature, but in my Lit class we have read "To His Coy Mistress", "My Last Duchess", "The Death of a Toad", lots of various other poems that we went into in less depth, Moby Dick, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Watt, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Pygmalion, and we're currently working on Gulliver's Travels.</p>

<p>In Calc BC, we're starting integrals. Just had a test on derivitives and limits. I'm owning that class so bad.</p>

<p>In Calc BC we are doing improper integrals, integration by parts (Heavyside... We listened to the Cats soundtrack :) )
In Physics C we just finished center of mass
In English Lit we are reading Othello
In US History we are doing Jackson
In Spanglish Lang we are doing progressive</p>

<p>For some of you calc bc kids, how come you are just starting integrals? All of the BC kids in my school have known to do integrals since november last year and we haven't had reviewed regular integrals at all... It seems we are also way ahead in Physics as well... We did 2-d motion in september... Or is it that my school is just very fast paced?</p>

<p>AP English: Taking it slow. Read Sophie's World, Crime and Punishment, Hamlet, The Tempest and the Brave New World.</p>

<p>AP Calc: Wrapping application of derivatives up, probably going to do related rates next and then move onto integrals.</p>

<p>AP Physics (C): Wrapping work up (class is going really slow), and before this we did motion in the presence of resistive forces (eg. air resistance), and a few of us derived the position equation for projectile motion with air resistance.</p>

<p>School started 1st of September here. There's a misplaced kid in AP Physics who's slowing the entire class down. AP English class is a lot of discussion and writing prompts which are graded by the AP 'standards'. Flipchick: we read lots and lots of essays too. Our English class is lots of philosophy (one of our assigments was to compare the metaphysics of Kafka, Plato, Aristotle and Stephen Hawking).</p>

<p>Pwning all classes. AP English is the easiest class imaginable. We have writing, 30% of grade is discussion, teacher in love with us, everyone gets an 100%, class average 87%, have 96%.</p>

<p>AP Physics C I find extremely easy because I took a really hard Physics class last year. Wasn't AP Physics B, but the material we covered was the same. -- 96</p>

<p>AP Calc -- owning it with a 94.</p>

<p>And might I add that I haven't done a single HW problem for either Calc or Physics because homework is not part of grade, only tests.</p>

<p>We up here in Mass have it easy.</p>

<p>AP English: Began with short stories and just finished "analyzing" Catch-22. Now we're starting poetry (we just got sonnets and a villanale or somethin). I'm afraid my class is not helping me at all, we've only written three essays, and I just feel like I haven't learned anything.</p>

<p>BC Calc: We just finished integration/differentation of exponentials with bases other than e. Now we're on to inverse trigonmetric stuff.</p>

<p>Physics C: We just started rotation, finished up with center of mass/ and inelastic/elastic collisions.</p>

<p>French: No idea...indeed.</p>

<p>Govt: social politicalization or something</p>

<p>Beat this: My AP English class is RANDOM. We are watching "Never cry wolf" and reading Night and Man's Search for MEaning. Our former teacher straight up quit and we have a "substitute" I need to start doing stuff on my own and taking initiative. </p>

<p>Physics B- Fluids and simple harmonic motion - yeah, one chapter each week in depth. I can't believe that I'm surviving his course.</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC- most of the BC students are doing AB stuff cause they suck lol but me and a few others are doing Taylor/MacLaurin Polynomials and Intervals of Convergence and stuff.</p>

<p>AP English - dumb stuff like vocabulary.</p>

<p>AP Chem- Finished Gases, Thermochem, Quantum Chem, now we are doing Electron Configuration and Chemical Periodicity</p>

<p>AP French - </p>

<p>Err, just finished doing the infinitive chapter in EN BONNE FORM. Got a test on it tomorrow, yeeeek. I probably won't end up taking the AP test 'cause the class sucks.</p>

<p>AP English (Lit) - </p>

<p>We're reading a book called Bone. We've read Love Medicine and Chronicle of a Death Foretold. We're not really preparing for the AP test, but I don't care; it's a good class.</p>

<p>AP Calculus (AB/BC) - </p>

<p>Just had a really easy test on... hmm, optimization, limits, derivatives and integration. I like the class and I think I will probably take the BC test (and hopefully do ok).</p>

<p>AP Modern European History - </p>

<p>I think we're doing stuff to do with Catherine the Great, but I honestly never do any work in that class and do fine, so I'm not quite sure. I might not take the AP test.</p>

<p>AP Chemistry - </p>

<p>Just had a really hard test on quantum stuff, I'm at the same point as adidasty except a tiny bit farther I think... halfway into the periodic table chapter! :] I wonder if we have the same book. I will probably take the AP test.</p>

<p>AP English Lit: Dusted off the summer with Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Othello, just Finished "Portrait of An Artist as an Young Man," reading Faulkner's short stories, moving onto Shakespeare, and then Chekov...and then poetry, and then something else. This is by far my HARDEST class. I've written one essay per week at least, on top of that, timed writings and short responses and Reader's Journal...as you can see, it's driving me NUTS! </p>

<p>BC: Done with Improper Integrals, don't know what's next. </p>

<p>AP Chem: Actually, it's IB, but, we are just jumping around. Getting into acids and bases...</p>

<p>hopkinslax, actually you guys aren't very far ahead at all. In fact, you're behind compared to our schedule. We finished COM about..2 weeks or so ago. But then again, maybe we use different books and so we do things out of order.</p>

<p>AP English we have read: Much Ado About Nothing, Blackboy, Stranger, Siddhartha, Macbeth, Catch-22, The Things They Carried, Their Eyes were watching god, and othello</p>

<p>in ap chem were in intermolecular forces</p>

<p>AP Chem: finished enthalpy and going to do kinetics
AP Cal. BC : almost finished with related rates and Newton's method</p>

<p>well... as long as the AP course is easy and you get the A is what counts... f00k the stupid test at the end... it's not like it's going to matter. :p</p>

<p>all four of my ap courses... um.... i forgot... i think i just sit and do other homework for classes really.</p>

<p>AP English class we do an AP test essay every thursday, discuss it friday, on monday the teacher makes fun of everybodys mistakes (sometimes making kids feel really stupid) and then gives them back. tuesday and wednesday we read or talk about a book. Right now we're doing the scarlet letter.</p>

<p>I would hate my teacher for making fun of peoples essays.... but hes never made fun of me yet so I don't really care. He used to be an ap test grader and grades our essays on ap scales. I hover between 6's and 7's. I need to break that barrier and get a damn 8 :).</p>

<p>r u guys serious? The Crucible and Macbeth are considered AP English books? i read the crucible back in 8th grade already.</p>

<p>English- Poetry, Poetry, and more Poetry.
Gov't- Right now we're talking about federalism and how powers are divided between national and state gov'ts.
Calc BC- Ch. 6 test (differential equations and integration methods) was today... we are flying through the material.
Spanish- ¡El Subjuntivo!</p>
