Online Class Opinions?

<p>Looking for general opinions on online classes, which sites you've used, reccomendations, etc. </p>

<p>thinking about online class for physics B or Calc Ab/BC if anyone has specific experience with those two. thanks!</p>

<p>I did all three of mine with CTY Johns Hopkins’ online program. For Physics B (which I took this year), I can’t say that the online material does much because after a certain point I was reading it all from a textbook anyway, but the instructor was amazing and very helpful.</p>

<p>I have taken classes through CTY and GLL (Northwestern). Both were total wastes of time. Pretty much all you do is read from a textbook and answer questions, however because it’s a “course” you lack the flexibility of true self-study, and have to deal with annoying emails from instructors asking you to do assignments and write essays on topics you already have mastered and do not need to review. I have been told that FLVs is better, but I haven’t seen any reason to believe so.</p>

<p>Stanford EPGY was great for my D for Physics B. It’s a little harder than the AP Physics B and covers a few additional topics. She got a 5 and an 800 on the SAT II taken just before the AP exam. They were both easy compared to EPGY exams.</p>

<p>sino and wintercrest, which classes did you take?</p>

<p>edit: any further comments on physics B or AP Calculus(AB OR BC) would be appreciated</p>

<p>Bump for interest. I’m considering self-studying several APs, but I’m wondering if there are any particular subjects worth taking an online class for.</p>

<p>My daughter is scheduled to take AP Chem online (not offered at her school) through ChemAdvantage. I have read great reviews and will post next year when we can give concrete advise. It includes a lab kit which is important for college credit.</p>
