By the end of 1st semester, how far did you get in AP classes?

<p>


</p>

<p>It depends entirely on the school. Some only offer Macro, some only offer Micro, and some offer both. My school only offers macro.</p>

<p>English Lit: We finished going over the basics, analyzing short stories, and started some Shakespeare.</p>

<p>Calc AB: We finished derivatives.</p>

<p>Phyiscs B: We finished optics and electricity.</p>

<p>My silly rural school doesn't have AP classes. But the regular college prep classes are rather unproductive.</p>

<p>English: We took three tests the first semester. There were maybe seven short reading selections tested on the first two. The last one was about the Iliad and the Aeneid. But my textbook didn't have the whole of either poem, so that test was also over selections. We haven't read any novels yet.</p>

<p>Accounting: This class is actually productive. I take this class independently, but there is still a calendar to follow. We've gone through 18 chapters, each of which is about twenty pages of reading, plus about ten pages of work in the work book. This is the only class where we ever go cover-to-cover.</p>

<p>Government: Totally unproductive. We had a crappy student teacher for most of the first semester. We've done five chapters, but we skipped a few of the sections within them. It covers about 100 pages in the textbook. So we've learned about Congress and the president. That's it.</p>

<p>Calculus: Again, totally unproductive. This is a pseudo-Calculus AB course. We've covered the first three chapters, up through derivatives. We're finishing up the fourth chapter, which is something like applications of derivatives. No integrals yet.</p>

<p>So yeah. My teachers like to assign posters and presentations rather than teach. It's frustrating.</p>

<p>AP Calc BC- Volume and Surface Area and Work/Fluid Pressure Problems (Applications of Integrals)
AP Bio- DNA stuff</p>

<p>Calc: Just finished AB stuff, starting on BC material. S by parts, partial fractions, etc.
Geo: Finished culture, starting politics.
Eng (IB): Working on civil rights with writings of King and Thoreau, also starting Paradise of the Blind
History (IB): Starting WWI.
Spanish: Finished immigration unit, working on technology/Internet now.
Physics (IB): Just finished momentum/work/power, starting uniform circular motion.</p>

<p>"AP Calc BC- Volume and Surface Area and Work/Fluid Pressure Problems (Applications of Integrals)"</p>

<p>I hated that stuff more than any other chapter last year.</p>

<p>Yay momentum/work/power. Have you guys done angular momentum yet? Fun stuff!</p>

<p>USH: Civil War (we're behind?)</p>

<p>Bio: Taxonomy, just finished Evo</p>

<p>My biology spent about twenty minutes talking about evolution, and it was only presented as a theory. My school is about 90% Christian, so they pretty much have to do it that way.</p>

<p>History - Progressive Age
Latin - Just began Ovid (finished Catullus)
English - idk
Stat - probability
Environment - geology</p>

<p>Ugh I am hating this chapter. So confusing, and it doesn't help that I missed the class we went over it due to SciOly...</p>

<p>Angular momentum? Sounds scary...</p>

<p>Calculus BC : Everything except sequences, series, and vectors (~80-85% of course)
Biology: Everything except Animal and Plant structure (~75-80% of course)
Physics BC: Everything except the last half of Mechanics (~75% of course)</p>

<p>^ Wow your school seems pretty hardcore</p>

<p>I got to Series two days before the AP test after starting the BC material a week earlier.</p>

<p>Lol.
Econ/Gov - finished Macroecon first semester and started US Gov now
Latin Lit - finished Catullus first semester and have just started Ovid's Daphne & Apollo bit of Metamorphoses
Calc BC - hmm, did the shell method last I remember, and lengths of curves or something I dunno, I still don't think we've actually learned anything in there
Euro - I think the French Revolution at the end of last semester, and now Industrialism or something but we haven't done anything recently because my teacher's been out for a ~week and we've just watched movies yay :]
Lit - we.. um..... don't do anything in Lit.</p>

<p>AP English Comp: I don't really know... We have only really worked on rhetorical analysis... uh oh.
AP Chem: Zumdahls Ch1-10 and we did 12 and 18... so 12 chapters so far
APUSH: Civil War.... uh oh. We are two chapters behind. The problem is that my teacher is a constitution guy... three months... three months....</p>

<p>Psych-5 of 8 units done.
Chem-12 of 14 units done
Physics C-Mechanics
Lit-we don't really do anything, there isn't much to learn
Spanish-not sure, prolly should have started subjunctive by now, granted we already know it.
Calc BC-3 chapters to go, basically done with the AB.</p>

<p>Calc BC- We're towards the end of applications of integrals, I think. We've rotated integrals around different axes to create solids and volumes and things.</p>

<p>Physics C:mechanics: We're done. I don't know why my teacher is a lazy ass who won't teach us the e/m part of the course WHICH IS WHY I SIGNED UP FOR PHYSICS IN THE FIRST PLACE, but he's decided we'll just make an effing Rube Goldberg machine to pass the rest of the year.</p>

<p>Art History: We got through the first 18 chapters of the Gardner book, which is everything up until the Renaissance, which we're starting next week.</p>

<p>English Lit: I know there's no standardized curriculum for this class, but we've read Anna Karenina, Beloved, Paradise Lost, Madame Bovary, A Room with a View, Mrs. Dalloway, Merchant of Venice, and a buttload of poetry. Is that a lot or a little or what?</p>

<p>Gov - done
English Lit - uhm how do you tell with this class. o-o
Stats - starting confidence levels
Chem - Just finished acid/base
Bio - Just finished plants/cell energy</p>
