<p>Some of the people on this discussion board need to seriously calm down. Here is what I said word for word:</p>
<p>Honestly, I took Calculus 1 (AB Calc) and it was not very challenging. I got a B+ without trying, and we went through half of the book that our school goes through for AB. While this is a limited perspective, I would say that Gtown isn’t known for Math/sciences anyway, and my anecdote only serves to confirm this perception.</p>
<p>I said that I had a limited perspective, and I didn’t try to trash Georgetown I only gave an honest account of my experience. I’m sure I wouldn’t coast through that higher math course (i hate math actually). I think the reason people are so defensive is because Georgetown simply is not known as a math/science school. For now, it is known as one of, if not the, best foreign service school, and this overshadows the math/science aspect of gtown. I know that gtown is trying to improve its facilities, but if you compare the Reiss building with some other science facilities, gtown doesn’t compare. I apologize if people think I hate gtown, the opposite is true, and I’m not going to respond anymore on this board because I’m sure people will find more problems with what I have just said.</p>
<p>And to the guy who got ticked that I was coasting and wasn’t learning for the sake of learning, that’s your opinion. It was summer in gtown and my class was from 430-645, I really didn’t want to be there and neither did any1 else. It was hot, all of my friends were out enjoying their summer while I was taking calculus and studying for the SAT, so when the class was easy I coasted because I was able to. Sue me. I’m not going to major in math, and really just wanted the credit. You’re a better person than I if you enjoy learning for the sake of learning in July, taking a course you only need to graduate.</p>
