It’s mind boggling that your high school won’t weight a multivariable calc class!



True that! I think it’s policy because the administrators can’t be bothered with the debates about which classes outside the HS schedule are truly equal or greater than an AP class and thus meriting the weighting. In this case, he’s taking the on line class since taking at a CC is a logistical nightmare (CC classes aren’t weighted, either) BUT he’s taking it from JHU-CTY who is extremely good at providing info on what items are covered, how tests are administered, etc.

It’s a crying shame that we just needed to move on from and exert energy elsewhere.
