| Last year our senior took APEX Physics AP online, it was horrible: Many mistakes in the scrolled text (mixed up or mislabeled variables in formulas), no visuals whatsoever, kitchen equipment labs that would pop up and be due on Friday nights, etc. Online teacher took a long time to answer questions, and after the weekly quizzes, the students had no way of knowing what mistakes they made, as they could not see the graded quiz. So problems with material just compounded weekly. Never a chance to learn from mistakes. It was the first year the course was offered, hopefully they will at least correct the physics errors.
The Spanish AP online was slightly better, but there were always problems with the quality of the spoken assignments sent, and grades were lowered if the quality of the sound was poor, or too soft. Also, instructor had a thick mid-western twang accented Spanish and did not approve of a more Mexican-accented tone. Did not provide good prep for the AP test at all. And it was very expensive. Avoid these courses if at all possible. |
