Very curious about this. I’m currently taking AP Calc AB, which I suspect I will do fine enough on the final test for the credit to transfer to UNC. So I have two questions
Can I take Calc II over the summer if I do in fact get the credit transfer from AB with UNC’s summer school
Has anyone done this and how did it go?
If you can’t answer either of these questions, I do have a bonus question:
In general, at UNC, how hard is Calc II? I hear that it is the dropout point for many students, is this the case at UNC as well?
Are you thinking of taking it at a community college in your area before you start Freshman year? If so, I would contact the registrar and advising offices at UNC directly to see if it would transfer. The concern I would have is that you would be looking for credit earned post high school, but before you matriculate at UNC. You may need to wait until summer.
Note that UNC has a list of courses with general transferabilty info that you should check before you call. https://admissions.unc.edu/credit/credit/transfer-equivalencies/
Calc 2 is widely known as one the hardest classes offered at UNC (And UNC has alottt of hard classes lol). This Link is: http://gradetoday.com/instructors/5834 a website called gradetoday and it shows the class average for some of the classes taken at UNC. For Calc 2, most of the instructors are in red, (Hint: which is bad).
my son walked away with a C in Calc 2 and he was sweating it out. He couldn’t have a C- or it wouldn’t count for his major. Unfortunately the math classes are unbelievable hard at UNC. We were so happy when he got a C if that tells you anything :))
I also would not ever take a math class at UNC over summer. Summer sessions are a month long, every day classes and the material is very hard.
