<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone here took Physics online via BYU's Independent Study program? I don't have enough room in my schedule next year and was thinking of doing it this summer.. if any of you have taken it before, would I be able to finish it (both semesters) in ~2 months? How much time/work did it take? How difficult was the overall course? I'm willing to put in effort to get an A and finish it before school starts. Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Or if not, could you suggest any other online physics options?</p>
<p>Brigham Young, his nose is a … What will you do Joseph, will you fight that … man?!</p>
<p>No clue about Physics but I find the BYU program really easy.</p>
<p>I have to fulfill a gym credit and two fine arts so I’m in a different area than you, but there’s six lessons in my gym class (online) that take about forty minutes each. With math I assume it takes longer because you have to have time to practice/comprehend. Everything is done online besides the proctored final exam worth 40% of the grade.</p>
<p>This is all for an elective through BYU, however. Don’t know if it’s actually relevant.</p>
<p>Does anyone know a reasonably priced online physics course that is 100% online? (No in person proctored test like byu). The fact that the test is 40% of the class grade is…eh…</p>
<p>There is MIT OCW. And if you have heard about edX and MITx, there is a good chance either of them could offer a free physics course this fall. </p>
<p>mitx.mit.edu</p>
<p>edxonline.org</p>
<p>Would it be a high school course for credit? I’ll look into it, thanks.</p>
<p>It is MIT and Harvard courses fully online at MIT and Harvard level difficulty. They will give you a certificate of completion, but no official credit. In the case of getting credit for high school, you should talk to your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Bump bump bump</p>
<p>I actually haven’t done that…(I explored the program but decided that I wasn’t willing to spend the money) I instead chose to get a textbook/ sample syllabus to be sure that I was on the right track, self-study that and take necessary labs, and once school starts, I’m going to take a CBE (credit by examination) and proceed to Physics C (again self study, I live in fear of annihilating my GPA)</p>
<p>I’m sure that you’d be able to finish it soon enough; take me as an example, I am by far the laziest person I know and I’ve been putting off my studies but with a month and a half left and 32 chapters, I’m sure that I’d be able to finish it by god’s will. :D</p>
<p>If you want to get an ebook from me (I’m using Cutnell Physics) PM me, and we can work something out</p>
<p>Take my advice, if you’re looking for a highschool level course, DO NOT PICK MIT OCW. The physics courses they offer are university level…meaning Calculus based. THis would be a Physics C equivalent</p>
<p>is anybody else doing that EDX thing? It seems pretty cool, and I just signed up for the chemistry (mit) and comp sci (harvard) courses!</p>
<p>I signed up for comp sci (MIT). MIT > Harvard, hahaha.</p>
<p>you shut your mouth
YOU SHUT iT RIGHT NOW</p>
<p>I’m doing computer science harvard since they offer more languages</p>
<p>wait…since they had enrollment dates…do they offer grades?</p>
<p>You get a certificate if you get a high enough grade</p>
<p>Any other high school level online physics options?</p>
<p>Is the mit and harvard place self placed. I would like to do it quickly, do I have that options at both.</p>
<p>For physics, you could also take a look at JHU CTY.</p>
<p>bump please! I would like to know if anyone has successfully gotten A’s in physics courses from EDX or MIT OCW, and also successfully transferred the credit to their high schools. Thanks! And has anyone tried the BYU physics courses designed for advanced high schoolers? Is that transferable?</p>
