<p>Where did take your college course(s)?
(include whether it's a state u., private school, cc, or whatever else)</p>
<p>what course(s) did you take/at what level?</p>
<p>What did you think about it/them?</p>
<p>What was better than a HS class?</p>
<p>Was was worse than a HS class?</p>
<p>Any additional info here</p>
<p>I plan on taking Russian at Ohio State this summer and next school year. Maybe 2 quarters of Russian and 2 quarters of Japanese. It all depends.</p>
<p>Um...I'm probably taking Multivariable Calc, then Linear Algebra and Differential equations this summer. Then in the fall I'm thinking about taking something in non-Euclidian geometry. I'll take the first two at a PreCollege (however much I'll actually learn there...) anything else at the big state U.</p>
<p>I am currently taking Multivariable Calc and Differential Equations as an independent study at my current High School and am taking Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics as my normal math class this year. I attempted to take Japanese last year as a 3rd language (behing spanish and latin) at my high school and could not find the time to learn the language. </p>
<p>Since all of them have been high school classes, I am extremely pleased with the teaching, although admittedly I go to a very small private school with outstanding faculty.</p>
<p>"Where did take your college course(s)?"
Some at a cc, others at a private university</p>
<p>"what course(s) did you take/at what level?"
I have taken courses at freshman, sophomore, and junior levels. Topics included math, physics, chemistry, American literature, history, sign language, government, economics, and psychology.</p>
<p>"What did you think about it/them?"
I enjoyed the freedom. Also, most of the classes are 2 or 3 days per week: that gives you time to think about the material and do homework. However, it is somewhat easier to fall behind.</p>
<p>"What was better than a HS class?"
Same reasons above. In addition, there is less "busy work."</p>
<p>"Was was worse than a HS class?"
You have to buy the books; however, you can keep them. I spent around $500 on books last semester. Like I said earlier, it can be easier to fall behind. The trade-off is you have more oppurtunities to go above and beyond (im my opinion).</p>
<p>a) I took my first class at a cc and will take 2 more at a private college
b) CC I took General Psychology; I will take World Literature and probably History of Islam at the private college starting in Feb.
c) I liked having class one night a week but it was easy to fall behind because you don't have the next class looming over your head so you don't feel the need to do the work immediately.
d) Yeah it was alot better than HS classes even the ap ones
e) Tuition and textbooks are the only drawback but I am saving $200 by going to the private college and I don't have to pay for books.</p>
<p>what course(s) did you take/at what level? Introduction To Philosophy(cc)
AP Art History (HS), and AP Human Geography(HS)</p>
<p>What did you think about it/them? Philosophy was the coolest thing ever!!!
I learned more world history in AP Art History. In AP Hug, the best subject in the class is on the cluture unit with language and religion.</p>
<p>What was better than a HS class? My CC class</p>
<p>Was was worse than a HS class? Textbook price for the cc class</p>
<p>This year, my senior year, I have taken/am taking all of my classes at the university in my town. These include ENGL 1101 and 1102, POLS 1101, MATH 1113 and 2261, PHIL 2010, PSYC 1101, and KSPE. I have really liked taking my classes at the college but I do miss seeing my friends at the high school everyday because I dont go to the high school at all. I still see most of my friends at night and on the weekends but I do feel a bit out of the loop.</p>
<p>Where did take your college course(s)? The local community college (evening courses)</p>
<p>what course(s) did you take/at what level? Multivariable calculus and linear algebra (normal progression after BC calculus)</p>
<p>What did you think about it/them? They were much easier than the calculus course I took in school. They had very little emphasis on proof, and much more emphasis on drill and the like. Classes also went very slowly; the instructors would slowly introduce a topic, give a formula (often without showing a substantive proof), and then give several examples (usually from the textbook or at least very similar to ones from the textbook).</p>
<p>What was better than a HS class? They were much easier. Also, the instructors gave more time for concepts to sink in so in some ways the basics were taught better.</p>
<p>Was was worse than a HS class? They didn't teach the material as deeply or complexly. I imagine students going from community college math to UC math would have a very hard time. I suspect it would be wise not to use community college classes to 'skip' in college if more math must be taken in college, unless it's possible to take a very light course load along with the first college math class.</p>
