<p>If you have, what was it for? Which website was it from and was the class of high quality (did you actually learn anything)? How much did it cost?</p>

<p>I think it would be useful to have a nice little list of websites on CC to take classes from. </p>

<p>I'll go first:</p>

<p>CTY, Honors Trigonometry for 3 months, approximately 600 bucks I think (I dunno, my dad paid =p) and it was okay, just basically a bunch of videos to watch and then take tests from.</p>

<p>Yup, I took Crafting the Essay, Writing Rules: Building Blocks, and Writing Analysis and Persuasion all through CTY. Writing Rules was way too easy and I regret taking it (at the time it was for 5th-8th grades, now it’s for 2nd-4th grades). Crafting the Essay was my favorite class, the instructor was great, she was a professor and author, and it was perfectly challening. Analysis and Persuasion was interesting but really, really hard. My instructor didn’t seem to like me very much but I did learn a lot. Class cost varied from $400-$800. I though those classes were far more worthwile than my traditional school classes.</p>

<p>All of my current classes are online. I’m content with them so far.</p>

4

<p>Some programming class, $27. Through a CC.</p>

5

<p>could you guys mention the website?</p>

<p>I currently attend Keystone.</p>

<p>I took Spanish online through WLAC for $25 or something. There are also transcript fees so it comes closer to $30 :rolleyes:</p>

<p>My school also arranged for me to take AP Calc and AP Stat online, and it was free for me.</p>

<p>I never have…I didn’t realize so many people did!</p>

<p>I’ve taken all my classes online through Keystone for two years.</p>

<p>AP US History
AP English Literature
AP Environmental Science
Honors Geography
Honors English 3
Calculus
Japanese I
AP Economics
AP Biology
AP World History
AP Statistics
Creative Writing
Contemporary World Issues</p>

<p>They’re not the best experiences, but they sure as hell beat my public school option.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>Because you took the equivalent classes at your public school too, right?</p>

13

<p>I took US History Honors, Spanish 2, and Economics Honors on FLVS for free (compliments of the taxpayers). </p>

<p>Didn’t learn ****. </p>

<p>Currently taking programming on FLVS as well, and I actually feel like I’m learning.</p>

14

<p>Never taken an online class, didn’t feel the need.</p>

15

<p>CTY:
Language: From Structure to Style (This was OK)
Crafting the Essay (Pretty good)
Writing Analysis (I stopped halfway through because I went on vacation and couldn’t catch up what with another real-life summer school trying to murder me through deprivation of sleep)
Chinese, all the way to Intermediate 3. I’m still taking it & I love the class.</p>

<p>It sucks that my school doesn’t take credit for any of this.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>I went there for two years, knew the upper level programs, and took parts of some of those courses prior to departing my junior year. So, yes.</p>

17

<p>I took AP Art History and AP Microeconomics on FLVS</p>

18

<p>@applicanot:</p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, why did you leave your junior year?</p>

19

<p>can those posting please describe the quality of the courses? like if you took an AP course, did you feel sufficiently prepared to maybe earn a 5?</p>

<p>I got a 5 on both of the online AP classes I took.</p>
