I failed one semester of an AP course; should I take the regular or AP course over the summer?

My teacher said I could take either or. I’m going to take it online, but I just have to choose between regular biology or AP bio.

I’m just wondering, if I choose to take the regular class (because it would be EXTREMELY easy and I just want to get it over with as soon as possible), would it look even worse on my transcript than it already is? Or does it not matter.

Thank you in advance.

I was in the same situation as you last year. I just chose to take the AP variant of the class so I can clear the D. Be mindful, if you choose the regular class, the bad grade will not be erased but instead, averaged with the new grade you have. If you choose to take the AP class somehow, your new grade will replace the bad grade.

This totally depends on the policies of the HS.

I’d suggest taking AP.
