<p>Which humanities or fine arts APs should you take if your goal is to avoid taking humanities or fine arts courses in undergraduate that are affected the most by the particular course instructor in terms of content covered and grading? </p>
<p>To clarify, in my high school English classes, the topics aren't standardized the and grading for English appears very teacher specific to me. English is not like an intro calculus course where you basically have to learn the same topics in roughly the same order (limits, derivatives, integration, etc.). Instead, an English teacher can teach whatever he wants and grade however he likes. I am assuming that this is also true in undegrad for English class and I want to avoid such courses where material covered and grading can be more teacher dependent. </p>
<p>Currently, I'm looking at taking both of the English APs and maybe a fine arts AP.
What other APs would you look into as possibilities if you were me?</p>
<p>Although I'm taking my only two humanities APs this year (therefore, not being so reliabe), wouldn't the AP Histories be nice for you? I mean, unless there are classes that really skip around time periods in some jumbled order, the material should be taught in chronological order (makes sense, right?). And grading... well... isn't grading for all classes teacher dependent? I mean, a teacher can choose to give you partial credit for a math problem or not, right?</p>
<p>BTW, I've never taken AP History classes, so I don't know for sure. That's how things should go, though. Besides, nice practice for writing essays, right?</p>
<p>So you don't like the fact that AP English courses do not follow a specific order? You should take a social studies or history AP, for example AP World, AP European History or AP US History.</p>
<p>If your goal is to take almost all math and science courses in undergrad, which non-math/science APs should you attempt in high school to satisfy undergrad non-math/science requirements?..taking both time commitment to prepare for the APs and amount of credit commonly earned for getting 5's in them into consideration?</p>
<p>Also, during your high school senior year, would it be better to do an internship in a science subject you like or to study non-math/science APs? The thing I'm wondering about is if you take care of required credits in subjects you aren't interested in early on, won't you have more time to do something like do a job/internship in undergrad (when you are more knowledgeable) and more likely to get a job in a science related subject you like?</p>
