BYU online courses

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am planning to take online courses at BYU.
I am planning to take:
-Physics (Part 1 & Part 2)
-General Astronomy</p>

<p>I was wondering how hard the classes are and whether the courses stands out to colleges (especially the UC's).</p>

<p>Most students choose the BYU option in supplement for whichever AP they are self-studying. From what I have heard BYU classes will not appear on your transcript so there is no point in taking them just for pure “enrichment.” If you are taking Physics Part 1 & 2 then I suggest taking the AP Physics B exam next year.</p>

<p>I’m taking Precalculus 1 & 2.
Counselor said that I could take it to go directly to AP Calculus AB from Algebra 2.</p>

<p>I’m also doing Precalc 1 & 2. </p>

<p>Some high schools will put it on your transcript, some won’t. If your HS won’t, you can just send the BYU transcript separately.</p>

<p>@alwaysleah: You are doing that on top of your school work??</p>

<p>I’ve finished one lesson, hah. I just have to finish before next school year.</p>

<p>Oh haha gotcha. Are you taking it to prepare for AP Calc?</p>

<p>Yup, only cause I’m required to.</p>

<p>Oh that stinks!</p>
