The AP stands for "Advanced Placement", and I'd like to know if any of the other ZD-goers are in an AP class!
I'm currently a senior in high school, and I take two AP classes, which consist of AP Biology and AP Literature & Composition. So, what I'd like to know is:
- Do you take any of the same classes as I do? And if so, what have you learned throughout the course? What has been taught? (I'd love to compare!)
- If you don't have the same classes as me, what AP class(es) do you take? How many?
- Did you take the course to benefit you for the future, or just to get another credit in high school?
- Anything else you want to say about AP courses!
I took AP Lit. & Comp. because language arts is what I love the most. I got to choose between this and AP Language & Composition, but the latter consisted of more current events and analyzing the "how" and "why" of certain events in the world, which didn't perk my interest in the least. AP Lit. and Comp. has to do with Great Works (popular novels known for their themes/symbols, such as Huck Finn, Invisible Man, Lord of the Flies, etc.) It's a lot of analyzing what goes on in novels and why certain situations occur, and what we as readers can ultimately take from that novel. Personally, I love it; a lot. I can't wait to take the AP test in a week (weird, right?) :nerd:
As for AP Biology, it was for just another credit. I chose it over physics - there was no way I was going to take a class that combined science AND math. It's a difficult class, and definitely takes a lot of studying to get those high grades, but it's worth the credit and the high GPA at the end of the course.
