submitted my junior course selections, i’m taking ap lang, apush, ap cal ab and ...
I’m a bit confused, why are you taking AB and BC in one year?
If that’s the case then why not just take BC?
sonic marsh
I’m a bit confused, why are you taking AB and BC in one year?
just to not forget the material
vestal nimbus
Since it basically contains all of the course content of AB + a few more topics?
sonic marsh
If that’s the case then why not just take BC?
because bc is faster paced and so i learn all the material, and for the 5.0 gpa boost
vestal nimbus
So you’re going to rush through and relearn all of AB again in your second sem + the extra content?
It doesn’t seem very productive
sonic marsh
Since it basically contains all of the course content of AB + a few more topics?
bc is ab+2 units
vestal nimbus
Yeah
sonic marsh
the way my school does it is 5 courses a semester, with the 1st period being 45 minutes but the other 4 being an hour and a half
exactly
vestal nimbus
because bc is faster paced and so i learn all the material, and for the 5.0 gpa ...
Wouldn’t AB also have a 5.0 boost since it’s an AP class?
sonic marsh
Wouldn’t AB also have a 5.0 boost since it’s an AP class?
yes, but i wouldn’t learn the other 2 units
vestal nimbus
Wait does your school have this thing where one class is only one semester?

Hi, do any of you major in computer science and minor in psychology, or know anyone who does this in college? Do you think this is a good combination of subjects to major/minor in? Like will there be stable job opportunities with these subjects combined? And is there anyone here who is successfully doing one of these jobs after majoring in cs and minoring in psych?
solemn hamlet
Hi, do any of you major in computer science and minor in psychology, or know any...
I haven't really seen any CS jobs that psychology matters for, but psych is a minor i'm considering, just in terms of my interests
vital olive
hey guys, quick question- what do u think ur most difficult problems were extracurricular wise? trying to do some market research lol
vestal nimbus
Hi, do any of you major in computer science and minor in psychology, or know any...
Hey I minor in psych
but I don’t major in CS
solemn hamlet
yo parents
are the authority
on majors
there's no reason you couldnt do CS with a psych minor
vestal nimbus
Hi, do any of you major in computer science and minor in psychology, or know any...
Although there’s not many jobs that would use both of these subjects
Having knowledge in psychology is pretty useful in daily life imo
You can use psychology to help you design websites and gauge customer engagement too?
solemn hamlet
Eh that's more design related
vestal nimbus
Ex: color psychology for front end developer
solemn hamlet
would it go over that
vestal nimbus
Eh that's more design related
I know. I’m trying to find overlaps that would work with CS and psych
solemn hamlet
psych, as a minor, doesnt really sound like it'd matter for cs, but psych is an interesting subject, and one of the few that imo you cant just learn
there's a lot of conflicting stuff relating to psych
vestal nimbus
I think there’s a job called Cyber-psychologist too? It’s a pretty new thing tho
solemn hamlet
that's like ranking a major too really
vestal nimbus
Not really, it depends on their priorities and what they want to go into
solemn hamlet
business and finance are good minors for general knowledge arent they
minors are subjective
vestal nimbus
Yeah
solemn hamlet
like majors
vestal nimbus
I’m in Biology yet I’m minoring in business administration lol
solemn hamlet
yeah
you can do anything you want
I could do cs major and organic chem minor
if i hated myself
vestal nimbus
Money wise?
solemn hamlet
huh??
having a finance minor wont increase your income
neither will a business minor
languid ruin
yeah
vestal nimbus
Money wise would mean to probably double major in something similar to milk the amount of classes you can take vs the degrees you can get?
solemn hamlet
with a minor in a B Sc degree?
vestal nimbus
like Biosciences and Biochem
I just have to take a few more classes and I’ll graduate with two degrees…
vestal nimbus
Oui
languid ruin
im currently poli sci and social policy analysis but idk where im gonna go
vestal nimbus
solemn hamlet
taking it as a minor and saying its best money wise is nonsensical
vestal nimbus
im currently poli sci and social policy analysis but idk where im gonna go
You’ll turn into a kitty that’s all
solemn hamlet
im currently poli sci and social policy analysis but idk where im gonna go
civil engineering
ok
if you are interested in finance
minor in it
it gives you the choice
but im not
it isnt good for me

my dream job is to be a gis data analyst

This is actually a good idea if you want to “make money” tbh
Having CS skills to support your main priority

No idea, I’m not the CS major

true enough, like i said, cs minor

Geometry made me hate origami

that class was harder than precalc and algebra 2 for me
proofs were rough
semester 1 was just writing whole sentences in math man i hated that class

Geometry for me was fine
But my teacher made me do origami
And some other projects

Are you going to learn pre Calc in the summer then?
vestal nimbus
Have you taken HS chem yet?
fringe barn
No, I can either take AP chem and Skip high School chem, or I can take AP stats and honors HS chem
Those are my options
vestal nimbus
You really should take honors HS chem before you take AP chem
AP chem doesn’t go back and cover the basics unless your teacher does it for you
It’s a pretty rigorous course
fringe barn
And has one of the worst teachers in the school from what I've heard
"honestly might as well be self studying the class with how good she is a teaching" - a senior taking it
vestal nimbus
Yikes, definitely don’t jump into AP chem then
fringe barn
Ok
vestal nimbus
Pre Calc is the class after Alg 2
fringe barn
Okay, I was given the option to take algebra 2 over summer and take pre-calc freshman year, after contacting some people, precalc is review of algebra 2 so its much easier
That was the advice I was given by everyone
I would do what I'm doing and do precalculus next summer
Look that's just my two cents
vestal nimbus
I’ve heard that AP pre Calc curriculum is a bit different from the usual pre Calc curriculum
There’s more trig?
fringe barn
Precalculus is much easier to take over summer due to just being a practically review class of algebra 2
Actually my school is adding next year and it's like an extra week or two of trig with less logarithm review
fringe barn
My school has a no freshman in AP class policy
unborn vault
Should I do DE Precalc/trig over the summer?
Sure why not
full tinsel
My school has a no freshman in AP class policy
That's tough
fringe barn
Should I include that in the extra information section?
fringe barn
Personally for your own sanity I would recommend taking precalc over summer
vestal nimbus
I think Alg 2 is better as a full year class since Calc heavily relies on it
So it’s better to take your time and truly learn the subject
fringe barn
It would be much easier
vestal nimbus
Wait should I move APWH is to senior year to make room for AB and BC?
Why not take WHAP freshman year and APUSH after?

And B. I'm taking APUSH rn
Our school's social studies progression in government-> US History-> World History
fringe barn
So you would essentially take precalc two times?
full tinsel
If ur gonna do DE Precalc make sure the course for the school year is Calc
fringe barn
Because ideally what you would want to do
Algebra 2 -> summer precalc ->AP calc
fringe barn
That works really well because precalc is a classically easy course that mostly reviews algebra 2 with a handful of new concepts like matrix's and more trigonometry
So it is an easy course to take over summer
Algebra 2 is a very meaty course and a foundational course for a lot of math after it
