Merits of AP Courses

<p>S1 took AP Calc (AB) as a h.s. junior. Made a 4 on exam. Fall of freshman yr. he signed up for Calc. 1 at big state u. thinking he might need a refresher. Had a teacher fr. another country. S1 couldn’t understand what the man was saying and said what he was presenting to them was nothing like the AP Calc. he had in h.s. S1 was doing poorly and was advised to drop the course since he already had AP credit for Calc.1</p>

<p>So he dropped the class and decided to go straight to Calc.II in the spring. Had a good teacher that was happy to help during office hours. S1 went to office hours regularly for help and finished the course w/ a “B”.</p>
