高中选课求助

本帖于 2023-09-04 12:34:44 时间, 由普通用户 老不大 编辑

想请教下大家十年级选课,孩子的高中成绩是百分制的,普通课weight 1.0, Honor课1.05, AP课1.10。孩子打算以后大学申请数学、金融或者经济方向。
现在十年级可以选English Language Arta Honor 2(weight 1.05)或AP seminar(weight 1.10),但是要求如果选的AP seminar就必须11年级要选AP research,那11年级时如果选AP language,那时候AP research 就会占掉一个general elective的位置,可能会有点影响选其他想选的AP。
想请教下大家,十年级要不要选这个AP semina+11年级AP research+12年级AP English literature,还是老老实实十年级就跟大部队学English Language Arts Honor 2,然后等十一年级再选AP English Language,十二年级选AP English Literature.怎样选可以让GPA不落后最强的孩子们但是又可以让选课显得不缺少challenge?
谢谢大家帮忙!

AP Seminar Weight: 1.10 Credits: 5.0

Prerequisite: Average 90+ in ELA 1 & 570+ on PSAT EBRW Section

AP Seminar is a foundational course that engages students in cross-curricular conversations that explore the complexities of academic and real-world topics and issues by analyzing divergent perspectives. Students learn to investigate a problem or issue, analyze arguments, compare different perspectives, synthesize information from multiple sources, and work alone and in a group to communicate their ideas. Open only to rising sophomores and is a two-year commitment (must also enroll in AP Research in junior year).

AP Research Weight: 1.10 Credits: 5.0

Prerequisite: AP Seminar

AP Research, the second course in the AP Capstone experience, allows students to deeply explore an academic topic, problem, issue, or idea of individual interest. Students design, plan, and implement a yearlong investigation to address a research question. Through this inquiry, they further the skills they acquired in the AP Seminar course by learning research methodology, employing ethical research practices, and accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information. Students reflect on their skill development, document their processes, and curate the artifacts of their scholarly work through a process and reflection portfolio. The course culminates in an academic paper of 4,000–5,000 words (accompanied by a performance, exhibit, or product where applicable) and a presentation with an oral defense.

我认为意义不大,上不上都可以。主要是英语课不要马虎了,就可以。 -大学2024- 给 大学2024 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 09/04/2023 postreply 11:01:35
