<p>that 2nd one was even linked from the front page on the clas website. come on people. we’re not your info hunt dogs. ive posted these and similar links so many times i cant even count. please search the forum before you ask these kinds of questions it gets really annoying.</p>
<p>also as far as for lang classes here
i took german since 7th grade but dropped ap half way through sr yr. with my sat ii i placed into 201 (so… 5+ years equaled 1 yr here). the german department is really strong here though.</p>
<p>i decided instead to take hebrew, which i had taken a year of in high school. for those who didnt know the alphabet it was really intense but for me i kind of did nothing for the 1st month. it really depends on what language you’re taking.</p>
<p>also the absences thing is true and its soooo annoying. some days i just want to sleep in but you can’t afford to miss more than 3 absences. in my class your grade drops by a full letter after 3 and for each absence or 2 thereafter as well. there is homework every night. but you definitely are learning.</p>
<p>my advice is to take a language that will be useful to you later on. the reason i hated german all through high school (even though i got excellent grades - i didnt drop ap bc of the difficulty but rather the workload - i think i even had the highest grade in the class on the latest test right before i dropped the class) was because it was so pointless and i would never have a place to use it. actually since then i have realized that when i take yiddish here it will really help me. and thats why i keep learning hebrew, because since im jewish i always have a place to apply it. but if youre taking french and you never want to go to france, youre gonna have a hard time enjoying the class.</p>
