Do Colleges View Online AP Classes In A Bad Way?

[CollegeFreak9488]

I understand. Thanks for the help guys, but would colleges still view online classes the same way as in-person classes considering that I am doing all the work?

What is the difference between self study and college board curriculum. My courses are college board certified, but I do not know what you mean by self study.

An actual on-line class following the College Board curriculum is fine. What they typically take a negative view on is “self-study”.

Meaning you study on your own - no class, no teacher - and usually just using a prep book like Barron’s

Why do you think they would disapprove of self-study?

Because an AP course is supposed to replace the experience of a college course. That means attending lectures, learning all the material, doing the homework, completing the hands-on labs, where appropriate, doing the reading, etc. Cramming with “AP prep guides” to learn just what’s on the test and how to write your essays in away to impress graders doesn’t get your that.
