Oh wow, I can place out of Math 191 with a 4 on the AP? Didn’t know that. I pretty much gave up on trying on the AP because I thought I had to get a 5, and I don’t think I could. A 4 is in reach for me, but even if I do get credit I’m not sure if I will use it. My teacher did a really bad job of teaching so I find calculus really hard.

So I guess I have a few questions:
Has anyone here taken Math 191 and was it well taught? If you had a 4 or 5 but decided to take Math 191 anyway, do you think it was worth your time?
Also, if I plan on going into AEP, would retaking calc be a problem or should I take the credit if I get it? I know that there is room to take it and it’s in the course guidelines for AEP:[Cornell Engineering : Engineering Physics](http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2007/major-ep.cfm)
but if everyone at AEP is extremely talented in math, they probably will skip, and so it will be like I’m behind everyone else.
