<p>How come some of you don't have to pay the $83?</p>
<p>We've been doing some stuff in all my AP classes but calculus.
In calc, we just sit around and talk. And sometimes play kickball or wiffle ball.</p>
<p>Chem's been the most enjoyable, though. We've been blowing up hydrogen & hydrogen/oxygen balloons, making nitrogen triiodide, etc.</p>
<p>This year, our school board took care of the fees and we had to pay simply NOTHING at all! (no matter how many u took!) Our final exams r based upon attendance records. Like, in a semester, if u were absent no more than 3 days and had an A average---u don't have to take a final (and it pertains to any sorta course---regular, honors, Ap) Our finals for AP Classes are usually just an AP test from a previous year! (I know, that's not so fair at all!)</p>
<p>For AP World History, we're supposed to write a Change-over-Time essay in class.</p>
<p>I love class after the AP exam! We're watching the movie Life is Beautiful, and I like it a lot so far.</p>
<p>in US history, we are continuing on, at a slower pace. We still have to take a final, and our AP tests were paid for by the board of ed.</p>
<p>for ap chem i have to take a final and for ap us my teacher is giving me two test one is 6 days after the ap exam .... so much for relaxinbg after the exam = /</p>
<p>In physics, we are watching Mythbusters ^_^</p>
<p>for world...doing whatever we feel like :). for chem...good old fun with labs. for my school it really depends on the subject and teacher what you do post-ap. i know that there are no finals in any of the ap classes, but for some, depending on the teacher, you have to take an AP-style test if you don't take the AP test. all and all, post-ap is major down time</p>
<p>we played cards in Stat today</p>
<p>reading Great Gatsby in Eng and discussing it--quote quizzes and a test coming up, but my class is always hilarious!</p>
<p>GPS adventure and tech support in Comp Sci alongside Chinese Poker and whatever else we're playing
some have taken the liberty to play Counterstrike, on the network, nonetheless (haha)</p>
<p>AP Human Geo--we are watching Osama (however, I have to take the alternate tomorrow)</p>
<p>IB Enviro = Planet Earth and me and my friend plan on playing paper football extensively</p>
<p>IB Biz = a couple of us went to another teacher's class to chill, well, I chilled and they helped organize pics/grade songs about physics</p>
<p>US History: watched French movie on French Indochina (with subtitles!)
English Lang: discussing poetry
Calc: CCing
Biology: dissecting cats</p>
<p>A pleasant change in pace, actually. That and SAT scores are in today :D</p>
<p>DOES ANYBODY ELSE ON HERE HAVE REALLY TIME-CONSUMING FINAL PROJECTS?</p>
<p>HISTORY: RESEARCH 70 PEOPLE, CREATE A CHART WITH TEN TABLES, 7 @ EACH AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU PUT THOSE PEOPLE TOGETHER. ALSO, WRITE A 3-5 SENTENCE PARAGRAPH ON EACH.</p>
<p>CHEM: FOR LIKE THE NEXT 8 CLASSES, WE'RE FINISHING UP A HUGE EXPERIMENT ON 8 DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS AND MAKING PRECIPITATES, SEEING IF THEY DISSOLVE IN HOT H20, HCl, HNO3...THEN WE HAVE TO SEPARATE IONS AND CRAP...TOO MUCH</p>
<p>STATISTICS: FIND DATA FOR MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE OR SUBJECTS. THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE A BINDER WITH HISTOGRAMS, DATA, SCATTERPLOTS, LEAST SQUARE REGRESSION SLOPE TEST...YOU NAME IT, WE HAVE TO DO IT.</p>
<p>CALCULUS: GOING ONTO STUFF WE DON'T COVER FOR BC TEST...TRUE DEFINITION OF DERIVATIVE (PROOFS...DELTA AND EPSILON), HYPERBOLIC CALCULUS...GETTING QUIZZES TOO</p>
<p>LASTLY, PSYCH: FINAL PROJECT: MAKE A CD WITH 30 SONGS, 2 THAT PERTAIN TO EACH CHAPTER IN THE TEXTBOOK...THEY CAN'T JUST MENTION A TERM, LIKE HINDSIGHT BIAS...THEY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE TERM AND YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHOSE THE SONG AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE CHAPTER. (IN MY OPINION, THE BEST FINAL PROJECT)</p>
<p>I hate my ap classes. it's never over after the ap tests. about half have their finals before the ap. we also pay $95 per test (I paid $570). </p>
<p>afterwards there's a building project for physics c
learn new stuff and present for bc calc, finish with a test
one 6 to 8 pages essay for english, along with a play and a final read
then there's econ</p>
<p>I have a decades project for history.</p>
<p>Took econ last year and we had to write a report
This year that class did nothing</p>
<p>Physics last year played Halo
Took this year and we did presentations on quantum</p>
<p>So I got the rotten ends of both deals</p>
<p>all we did in ap enviro after the test was watch erin brockovich and rush hour 2</p>
<p>last year in us history we had a big presentation after the ap test</p>
<p>english we read siddhartha and had a test on it</p>
<p>psych we watched some movies</p>
<p>haha suckers. I only took one this year, that's why i had a horrid year (like all you are taking 5, i don't know how you surgvived. AT ALL.)</p>
<p>Government is just simply boring. We're doing foreign policy projects, including the researching of another country and making like a 10 pg. packet on it (which sucks,) then we have a chapter to read by tomorrow, then we have an assessment of the year, and then we have all this other poop to do. no fun. i'm not doing it! That's why we're seniors b/c it doesn't matter at all anymore lol.</p>
