<Katey> Obviously the university had to give first dibs to the uni students
<gopp> tweek dam lucky ***, most kid are taking precal or pre cal cal based course
<Katey> but often you could find a space
<tweek> Katey: my school district had some lame regulation that stated that students couldn't take more than two college courses a term.
<gopp> before they even make to cal
<tweek> I somehow got around that.
<gopp> tweek you did how
<Katey> tweek, well, I went to a weird school.
<tweek> yeah, my brother's in Algebra II now, and a junior.
<tweek> or, mebbe not even that.
<gopp> Katey did the student have to pay for that
<Katey> tweek, however, that regulation might have also been in place there. I can't recall
<tweek> Algebra I, probably.
<Katey> gopp, no
<gopp> free college course
<gopp> wtf that great
<tweek> gopp: **** no. my parents paid for it.
<gopp> tweek how did you get around it
<tweek> as they paid for my private school tuition.
<occ_> students in HS?
<tweek> not ... sure. I guess they overlooked it.
<Katey> yeah. it was a terrific opportunity
<Katey> occ_, yeah
<gopp> and how did the school have a teacher follow you to college
<tweek> or mebbe it only applied to certain p... no, it applied to the school credit they'd accept.
<gopp> Katey did you take advantge it
<Katey> gopp, yeah
<gopp> Katey or only the honors student do it
<Fearless> wow...
<tweek> or something. they weren't that strict about it, whatever it was.
<Fearless> overachievers eh
<Katey> I took French....and I think I took an english cl***
<gopp> tweek but that don't even matter
<gopp> tweek because the college credit counted for more
<tweek> yeah :)
<gopp> tweek if you could would the school allowed
<Katey> gopp, no, anyone could do it if their homeroom teacher felt they could handle it
<tweek> I mean, ****. I'm out of school in a year
<Katey> now, you didn't get college credit
<gopp> tweek if you could would they allowed 11th grade studetn to take colelge courses
<tweek> **** yes I did.
<tweek> over, like, 20 hours or so.
<gopp> in 11thgrade
<tweek> I currently have over 100
<gopp> you where in college
<Katey> tweek, oh I don't mean you
<Katey> I mean the students at my school
<tweek> I think Yash took college courses at 11th grade
<tweek> David might have too
<gopp> Katey what college
<gopp> who is yash
<Katey> But, if you've taken the course you can test out of it and, in some cases, get credit anyway when you go to university
<tweek> the two students that also took my Calc cl***es
<tweek> yeah... they took Calc 1 in the spring
<tweek> I took it in the summer
<gopp> tweek was the teacher amazed
<Katey> gopp, VCU, VUU, UofR (I think), and J.S. Reynolds community college
<gopp> tweek you porbally did better then most freshman or juniors
<gopp> in those courses
<tweek> Dr. Roger Opp wouldn't be amazed :)
<tweek> he's probably seen so many others do this ****
<gopp> why not
<tweek> I'm the only one that's still there
<gopp> you where so young
<gopp> oh yosh graduate
<tweek> not exactly. I p***ed as a college student...
<tweek> no, she went somewhere else.
<gopp> I tought you got an A
<tweek> I meant, p***ed. fit in.
<tweek> looked like.
<gopp> oh
<gopp> hmm
<tweek> my cs150 professor didn't know I was a Central kid until the final exam :)
<gopp> tweek how did he find out
<gopp> tweek did the have teacher following you around
<Katey> What's the test you can take to test out of a cl*** and get credit for it? CLEP?
<gopp> when you took college
<gopp> Katey it clep
<Katey> right
<gopp> even if you never took it
<gopp> you can clep
<Katey> yeah
<gopp> like if you know the stuff
<tweek> told him after I left, to explain why I had to reschedule the exam time. thought he knew already. he didn't.
<gopp> but it advised against
<tweek> yeah, I also clepped outta English 101.
<tweek> like, a year ago. goddamn that was so much easier than the AP exams...
<gopp> tweek dam
<tweek> painfully so.
<tweek> and the worst part is?
<gopp> but I tought you got ap english
<tweek> I *STILL* have prereq's to take
<tweek> AP Lit.
<gopp> they didn't accept ap lit
<tweek> I only got a 2 on my AP Composition course, because AP exams hurt your *brain*.
<tweek> and it was the day after the AP Lit exam.
<gopp> tweek why it hard
<tweek> demanding, if anything.
<tweek> plus, I'm ... hesistant ... when it comes to essay-based tests.
<gopp> tweek what the earlyiest grade you can take college courses
<gopp> tweek so you never took precal
<tweek> like, just last week, I spent, like, 30 minutes on one question without knowing it for some AI cl***.
<tweek> I couldn't see the clock, and had at least, like, three questions (out of about six) blank when I had to hand it in.
<gopp> you can't take cal with out precal
<occ_> precal is just like algenbra 2
<tweek> my junior year, I took some trig... or something.
<tweek> I'm not sure what the hell it was.
<gopp> in private school
<tweek> yeah.
<occ_> are you in HS, gopp?
<tweek> tutored most of the football players that were there.
<gopp> so the college accepted that
<gopp> occ_ college
<occ_> which year/
<tweek> the college only required that I take a proficency exam.
<tweek> ****ing wasted it.
<gopp> oh you took a college proficency exam
<tweek> I don't think I've ever done better in any standardized test.
<gopp> it was easy
<tweek> *VERY*.
<hans_kung> eh, I don't recommend taking Calculus during summer cl***es. Six week cl***..had to remember 120 formulas :/
<gopp> eayier then ap
<tweek> *MUCH*.
<gopp> hans_kung I droped
<occ_> summer cl***es ****
<tweek> 120 formulas...?
<gopp> I took cal over the summer
<gopp> had to drop it
<occ_> six weeks if you're LUCKY
<gopp> yea 6 week course
<occ_> and calculus is a cl***ic "hard cl***"
<occ_> at least, at the undergrad level
<tweek> if you're having to remember any more than about 15 formulas for any cl***, you're looking at it all wrong.
<tweek> weed-out.
<tweek> they're called weed-out courses.
<occ_> yup
<gopp> what do you mean weed-out courses
<tweek> stuff that only half of the cl*** gets through.
<tweek> sometimes even less.
<occ_> most "science 110" cl***es (ie, first-year science for science majors, versus the "101" cl*** for nonmajors) are weed-outs
<occ_> either by design or not
<tweek> the rest either drop out or change majors.
<occ_> i start biology with like 100 kids
<occ_> and yup, half dropped it
<tweek> I guess some take 'em over.
<redfish> occ
<tweek> my sister mentioned that, like, 80% of the cl*** for some cl*** threw away their tests without writing anything ...
<symbio> That's pretty crazy
<tweek> my Physics 2 cl*** (oh, yeah, I took Physics 1 in HS too) ... ****.
<tweek> one day, the professor was annoyed at low attendance
