<p>I am sorry you find my posting of factual information objectionable. Berkeley grants AP credit (some of it elective credit, as you have pointed out) for scores of 3, 4 or 5, and USC grants AP credit (most of it elective credit, if any are interested - very little direct-course credit is offered) for scores of 4 and 5 only. I am sorry you find the term “higher standard” to be objectionable, but it applies in this case.</p>
<p>Thematic option courses at USC - the honors general ed curriculum - provided her with classes of between 9 and 24 students. This is, again, factual information. When she visited Berkeley they indicated her general education courses would be larger - is this not correct? You are welcome to post examples of Berkeley GE courses of between 9 and 24 students if you desire, and I would not criticize you for doing so.</p>
<p>Please note that you are posting on the USC forum and you should not be surprised to find posters here who feel USC is an excellent university with much to offer, and who will respond to your criticisms. Your first post on this thread provided incorrect information (that German had been “dropped” - it has not) and I provided a link to show that is not so.</p>
<p>Thank you for refraining from using veiled foul language in your most recent post directed at me - I appreciate it.</p>
