oh, dear Raptor Jesus, I feel so inferior compared to the rest of you. I'm pretty much an idiot. Here's my schedule as a High School Junior

1. Drawing (need to get those fine art credits out of the way, and I'd like to be able to draw people better.
2. Web Design (Fun class, probably child's play to the rest of you. I think I'll take programming next semester, taught by the same guy. Really nice teacher)
3. Algebra II (Taught by football coach. Not very fun)
4. Superstudy/Lunch (They divide everyone's lunch periods into two, so half go eat while the other half sits and reads or whatever)
5. U.S. History (One of my best teachers ever. Not only a fun lady but I've found that I'm really retaining most of what I learn this year.)
6. Spanish III (Such a sweet teacher, but I'm absolutely terrible at this. Which is a shame seeing how half of my family is hispanic)
7. AP Lit (I loath this class, as does everyone else in it)

I didn't take a science this year because I didn't want too much of a workload, but I'm definitely taking Genetics next year.

First Semester:

Chemistry 11
Creative Writing
Integrated Algebra
Sculpture and Ceramics
English 11
Study Hall
Ancient World History

I forget the second semester. It's not much different except Creative Writing is switched for national issues.

It's the best lineup of classes I've had in my entire school career :D

High school sophomore
9 period schedule, 40 minutes per period

1-Honors Physics (depressingly easy, since I took a course far more difficult outside of school in 8th grade
2-alternating period of Physics and a study hall (I hate taking the study hall, but there was literally nothing else except Mandarin Chinese, and apparently the teacher sucks)
3-AP Statistics (not very difficult, though the teacher doesn't really teach well. The textbook is good, though, so that's all right)
4-Honors English (english isn't really my subject, but it's okay)
5-French 3 (the teacher for this is awesome. He mocks other kids mercilessly.)
6-Global History II (I like the teacher, but he refuses to use a textbook or even print out worksheets, so our only reference is the notes we take)
7-Science Research (a 3-year course, basically an independent research thing)
8-Precalculus BC (great teacher, had him last year too)
9-alternating period of a study hall and gym (hate gym, hate the study hall too)

It's a pretty good schedule, but I'm not challenged at all. I'm not surprised. I wish that schools didn't have to cater just to the low- and mid- level students.

English - slacker version: book, movie, book, movie, etc. learn about humanity through Blade Runner and Groundhog Day.
Drawing - hardest class this year; I hate drawing.
AP Chem - valence shells and hybrid orbitals ftw!
Free Period - homework time!
AP Stats - i get the stupid formula already; can we pleeease move on?
AP CompSci - write a program that classifies triangles. is 3 weeks going to be enough time? (~100 minutes including time spent teaching myself Java SWING and writing unit tests)
AP Calc BC - current grade: 104%, 'nuff said

Senior year is shaping up to be not so bad. If it weren't for the stupid art requirements and college applications, my life would be fantastically easy.

Took it last year. Homework intensive class + procrastinating slacker is not a happy combination. I did get to the point where I could translate 50 lines of poetry in a 55min free period, but I still got a 4 on the AP test due to my not-so-wonderful essay writing skills.

I completely agree here. It shouldn't be that hard to understand that P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B) yet we still spend time doing 5+ problems for just that one equation! If people think we are moving too fast, they shouldn't be in an AP class then.
tl;dr - I said nothing important.

We don't even do probability until next semester.
We spent the last week covering z-score = (xi - mean) / stdDev and how to look up P(z-score) in the table in our book if the distribution is normal. We then spent a day learning how to find P(z) with our calculator, an entire day to learn how to use a built-in function on the TI-83/84 (I had written a small program to compute the definite integral 3 days prior).

Electrical Engineering Major/ Technical Entrepreneurship minor @ University of Central Florida (Right next to the Space Coast!)

Spring '09:

EEL 3123C Networks and Systems // Circuits in Frequency domain, Laplace and Fourier Transforms, etc
EEL 4767 Embedded Systems //Assembly Programming for Microcontrollers
EEE 3350 Semiconductor Devices //Introduction to Transistors, Diodes and other devices
GEB 3113 Technical Entrepreneurship //Start-up management, Business plan Development, Patents

Networks and Embedded both have labs....loving every single minute of them :)

Summer '09:

Analogue and Digital Communications // Don't care to much about telecom, although i understand i need to have a strong foundation in the basics.
Electronics I // Can't wait for the labs!!!
Linear Control Systems // Specially looking forward to this one! i want to build show control systems for live shows and audio applications

I have decided to take 4 classes per semester during Fall/Spring and 2-3 over summer. I tried taking 5 Engineering classes over Fall '08 but i didn't do as well as i wanted. It was tough dealing with classes plus 3 labs plus SHPE meetings and conferences as well as my band. I'd rather just take 4 and do well on all of them. I will Graduate summer 2010 and looking forward to applying to Grad School!, looking at programs in:

University of Edinburgh (Acoustics)
University of Miami (Audio Engineering)
Georgia Tech (Audio and Music Technology)

First semester of full blown University (SFU for those BC'ers) after graduating with an Associates of Computer Science from community college (I had to take this route because I was a slacker in High School). Spring 2009 semester is just completing my last 1st and 2nd year credits I didn't get from college.

PHYS 120: Mechanics and Modern Physics - This is the third time I've take a course with this material, so it's really boring.
CMPT 150: Introduction to Computer Design - First year hardware course. Nothing new so far.
MACM 201: Discrete Mathematics II - By far the hardest and most interesting course in the roster (but fuck you Generating Functions).
STAT 270: Introduction to Probability and Statistics - Online course. Nothing much to say about it.

1. AP Calculus. The teacher is completely awesome, talking with us about the Foundation Trilogy and LotR, complaining about how there were elves at Helm's Deep in the movie. The problem is that everyone else is rather stupid. It's an AB class, but at 3rd quarter, we have the option of cramming in all the BC material also.

2. General Physics 108. Awesome teacher, awesome class.

3. AP Music Theory/Music History. Agonizingly slow, even though we're going at about twice the speed as the previous years.

4. Concert Choir. I'm assuming that the entire bass section except for me and a friend are completely stoned.

5. Orchestra. Boring.

6. AP English 12. The teacher's creepy.

7. Sociology. An hour of discussing the most obvious of statements in excruciating detail. Rich people have more opportunities than poor people? Really?

Physics - The class is a good group, but the teacher isn't all that great, and so we're not very far along.
Orch - Fun. Not boring.
AP Calc - We don't have seperate AB/BC classes. I'm taking the BC test, which means I work on all the extra concepts over the next few months. Shouldn't be too bad, I have a 103 in there before the curve.
AP Chem - Great class. Great teacher. We get better goggles than the honors classes.
English - Honors. Hardest English 4 teacher in the building, quite possibly including the AP teacher. Only class I get Bs in, but it's worth it for the experience of learning from this guy. He's a college professor locally, so it's good to have the chance to experience his teaching style.
+ a study/lab, a lunch (which I spend in orch, usually), and phys ed.

CompSci - Data Structures And Algorithms: Required for all the fancy classes, learn how to make efficient algorithms. So far we've discussion an efficient pow() implementation that runs with constant memory. Compsci is really my strong point and I can ace this kind of class w/o much effort.

PolSci 101 - An entry level class, and so far I find it mildly irritating. The teacher makes attendance mandatory, talks too much about football, and is clueless when it comes civil rights issues. I sit in the front row and deliberately don't take notes because I'm passive aggressive like that :twisted:

Math 301 - Linear Algebra
It was either this or Calc 3 and I already failed Calc 3 once.

Math 361 Probability & Statistics

I used to think my school offered a lot of AP classes. Some of you have some really great opportunities.

1. Study Hall / Option
2. AP English 12 (Literature)
3. French 2
S. AP Physics C Independent Study
4. Global Affairs / Lunch Option
5. AP Calculus BC
6. AP Spanish 5
7. AP Physics B

*S stands for Seminar. It's a half-period that gives students who fill their schedule with seven classes a time to eat lunch.

This is my senior year and boy am I glad I'm done with Global Affairs. I loved the class and the teacher, but nothing compares to being able to eat lunch (since I decided to fill my seminar with physics). Taking French 2 was also a tough decision because I hadn't ever taken any French classes before and I barely passed the placement test (everyone in the class is a freshman but me!). I didn't take a class 1st period because I thought I'd need the time for homework, which was true first semester, but now I am regretting that decision.

Right, 2nd year Maths undergrad, 2nd semester (starting in about two weeks).

Analysis 2 - Not bad, but not something I'm crazy about

Algebra 3 - A lot of fun and a great guy. He noticed in the middle of the last semester (still Algebra 2 back then) that his published notes have a couple of somewhat important sections missing (things like finite and Abelian groups). Still hasn't bothered correcting it :D.

Intro to geometric topology - Should be fun. The guy has a tendency to run up and down in front of the board and have it filled before you can say "cheesecake".

Algebraic curves - First time taking anything with this material. Should be an intro to algebraic geometry and topology I suppose.

Discrete maths 1 - I'm annoyed by it, but it was either this or some programming course and I chose the lesser of two evils.

Oh, and there's a seminar floating around somewhere.

This semester:

Chem 2
Chem Lab 2 (all practical)
Instrumental Analysis (all practical)
Chemistry of You
Pharamacology

This boils down to: Mondays off, Tuesday 9-6 Lectures, Wednesday 9-11 Lectures 12-6 Practicals, Thursday 10-4 Practicals 4-5 Lecture, Fri 10-12 Lecture.

In addition to that, the Labs are open 8-7 Monday-Thursday to non-keyholders just in case you don't finish up. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time in the lab, even though most of it is neither useful or contributory to the degree, Its just me learning by fucking around.

I'm a freshman in high school, and I'm shocked at the amount of AP classes here.

Here's my schedule:

1: Algebra 1
2: Broadcasting Arts
3: ELA 9
4: U.S. History
5: Introduction to Business
6: Biology

I hate History (the teacher is a jerk), love Broadcasting Arts (I'll be working on the school's radio station when I finish), and Intro to Business is the easiest class I've ever taken (see other thread).

EDIT: I'm hoping to take Programming next year-- apparently, the teacher lets you use whatever language you like. I'll either be using Python or I'll cheat and use a VM with BASH scripts. I can write simple stuff in Python, but I know my way around a shell.

EDIT EDIT: Remind me never to try "sudo chmod 777 ./././././" ever again without checking my current directory. Long story short, it broke sudo. I kept trying to re-chmod the proper file with sudo, but I got stuck in a Pime Taradox and escaped once I realized I had full permissions to write to it. *headdesk*

CS 220 Data Structures (professor is AWESOME, he defined his own field of AI and has enough snarkiness in him to remind one of half-life)

CS 351 Introduction to AI (shitty shitty shitty class with a shitty shitty shitty prof...it is because of this class that I may switch to being a CompE major)

PHY 112 Calculus-Based Physics I (awesome awesome awesome professor, he is very succinct with his lectures, then tells stories that are more or less real-life Bel-Airs)

M 145 Calculus II (prof doesn't speak much English, so he gave us several nicknames to call him by...one he did not give me, that my advisor did, is f(x), as those are his initials)

MUCH more interesting than last semester.

GRMN 20100 - Second Year German: Deutsche Märchen. We read the Brothers Grimm!
CHIN 51200 - Fifth-Year Modern Chinese. I get my ass kicked in terms of homework, speaking of which I need to do.
SOCI 20123 - Sociology of the Family. We read about parents, children, gay families, and read a lot of graphs. I like this class a lot.
SOCI 20105 - Educational Organization/ Social Inequality. We investigate exactly why education has such a huge effect on life outcomes. It's kind of amazing, even if I don't understand any of the reading.

Combined, these classes are kicking my ass, but you know... I don't think I would be able to adapt to a schedule where I actually master the classes instead of the other way around. That'd be... too easy.

Sophmore CS student. After this semester, I'll be done with half of my CS requirements. 17 hours but it's easier than my 9 hours last semester (boo data structs!)

Linear Algebra - meh, matrices.
English1102 - I've withdrawn from this class 2 times. Third time's the charm!
Algorithms - It's like data structs only with less programming and more analysis.
Database Design - yay EER...
C Programming - really easy class since I've known C for a few years and was my first language.
Politics and Film - Fun bullshit class!

Studio Workshop: a fine arts centered independent study
AP U.S. History: least favorite teacher, first day she introduced us to "General Custard"

I'm in high school, 11th grade (I have no idea if this is freshman, senior, otter or duck although otter is my best guess)
I'm taking:
11th:
-AP US History -fucktons of notes (4 pages of my handwriting (~200words/page) per 45mins of class)
-AP English Lit -my fav class of them all, not for the curriculum, but for the most awesome teacher ever
-AP German <3 (yay for being German mother-tongue) -easy chill-period
-AP Physics B (i think it's B, it's not the specialised ones, since they're not offered at my school) -not too difficult, but weirdly explained at times
-AP Calculus AB -after miserably failing first semester (B unweighted) it's now a great and semi-easy class

12th:
i have no idea how the classes will be like...
-AP Euro History
-AP German (I go to a German public school-> I need to take it even if I don't want to)
-AP Eng Lit (pt 2)
-AP Psychology
-AP Chemestry
-AP Calculus BC (selfstudy, my teacher has too many hours-> the directorate won't approve moving an unimportant 7th or 8th grade class to a diff teacher :/ )

I think that's it (discounting all the non AP courses i'm taking)

Wow, I just wanted to say that this thread makes me glad I'm not in high school anymore. :shock: You all have so much crap going on! reeee!

For what it's worth, here's what I'm up to this semester:
-"Learning and Teaching Technology.....in the classroom"
-"Teaching the Exceptional Child"

Yep, that's it. Both of these classes are more fun than I thought they'd be. So far. In the tech class we're making iMovies - wheeeeeeeee - and my group is making one called "Laura the Language Explorer". We filmed it today and had way too much giggly fun :P
