<p>Is this course worth the money and does any one know if it is just a book or is it interactive. I am looking for a course for my son who is a senior in high school.</p>
<p>I don’t have the answer for you (sorry!) but I’m interested to know, too. My daughter had the opportunity to take these classes, too, and we never did. I’d love to hear from people who did and know what they thought.</p>
<p>If you are talking about the distance-learning classes, it is my understanding that they are interactive online courses. My S took a math course eons ago, and that was the format. There was also a human tutor available, if need be, who graded the tests and generally kept an on on things.</p>
<p>In my son’s foreign language class, the students meet (as a group) with the teacher online, twice a week. Each student also has a private session with the teacher for 15 minutes once a week, and a half hour session with a teaching assistant once a week.</p>
<p>It’s like a regular class - they just meet online instead of in a classroom!</p>
<p>If you email JHU CTY, they’re very responsive. You can ask them the details of the physics course.</p>
<p>My daughter took some distance ed writing courses from them. Some were traditionally correspondence, but via e-mail. One was in an online forum. My daughter also took a chemistry class from them that was part CyberEd (now Plato) Chemistry (which is online) + some online labs from a different provider + paper tests.</p>
<p>We thought the writing courses were more worth it than the chemistry.</p>
