Holy fuck, I'm taking 8 classes. 18 Hours, but 2 of those are bs (marching band/web page).
MA, I'm surprised you have min/max hours like that. Ours are anywhere from 12-21, I think. The 5 year plan is so nice. If you ever have to take statics/thermodynamics, make sure you get a decent teacher, and drop it if you don't understand it or do poorly on the first test. They only get harder. The second time around, it's much easier.
Hmmm what is your major?
And yea, the min max hours thing sucks. Our graduation plan is 4 years, but many people take an extra semester or two, because a lot of us plan on getting minors in other things like Business Foundations.
I've been done with statics for a while, same with other engineering mechanics courses (i loved them
); i literally know them inside out. As for thermodynamics, we only have one professor/time who teaches it but he should be a good person (he originally taught at Cornell).

I'm taking it light this year (15 credits) because I also hold a job and wish to conduct some research. (Although I'm going to miss having a math class.
)
P.S. Guess My Major.
I hear that Chemical Engineers are a bunch of noobs. Especially ones from Alaska.

None.
Everyone here is doing Calculus or pre-Calculus... I'm still doing Geometry. I'm a Junior this year, but I'm probably way behind in math and science.
Sometimes the whole "work at your own pace" part of my school isn't the greatest. Anyways...
Geometry
Language Arts
Literature (Reading a really shitty book right now)
Civics
Health
Biology

Is it just that everyone else here is some kind of Math Genius and I'm a complete dolt, or am I really being given classwork below grade level?

I was wondering the same thing...
I barely survived Algebra II (well... I scored well, but the experience was traumatizing). I thought Geometry was fun. I never took Calc or Trig or any kind of Computer programming or coding class. Of course, such computer courses probably weren't commonplace in schools 7 or 8 years ago.
What can I say? I'm an
ARTEEST!
None.

Could be the school. Mine hardly provides AP classes, so far's I know, and getting the classes I insist on cuts out just about any decent things I
could take. Science here is a waste of time; never gets bloody anywhere.
I was going to take pre-calc or trig this year, but blaaaargle my schedule is just so fucked. Dx
I barely survived Algebra II
Don't know how common the experience is, but one of my friends that graduated last year mentioned that he also had issues with Algebra II, yet that Trig didn't give him any problems. Hm.
My schedule is lame. D:
A day:
1. Senior Portfolios/Advanced Multimedia ( basically, do-what-you-like art class with mostly, though not just, lots of computer equipment and software available )
2. Same as above ( the school providing this class only allows two-period sessions )
3. Honors English
4. Weight Training
B day:
5. Honors Chemistry ( I take this at Farty's school!
)
6. Psychology ( same as above )
7. Computer Programming I ( Java, takes place at the same school as periods 1/2 )
8. Oracle Database Programming
None.

biological engineering - environmental. we get all the civil engineers who realize all they're going to be doing is waste water treatment, and also those whose major gpa sucks due to the terrible five (statics/dynamics/thermo/fluids/solids).

haha just wait. I cruised through it w/o doing homework for the first semseter with A's, but second semester you're gonna wish you did your homework haha. Hence why I have to take it again cause I got a 3 on ap test.
None.

Well, I took Geometry freshman year. However, that's because I took Pre-Algebra in 7th grade and then Algebra in 8th grade. So I'm part of the group of many kids that are essentially a year ahead at my school and end up reaching Calculus. (the other way to get ahead is to double up with Geometry/Algebra II sophomore year) A lot of the kids here are probably similarly a year ahead (Nerdy is like 2 years ahead). But also, you're a year behind what you probably could be. An average 4 year math set up would be Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and then Pre Calc. (at least that I know of...)

I consider myself to a math failure because I am in trig and not calculus
I am a Mathematician
In Kindergarten each kid was paired with a 6th grader to be 'buddies'. Essentially they'd come in occasionally and do some activity with the Kindergartners. I happen to be assigned two 6th grade 'buddies' when I was a kindergartner. Well one time we played chess with our buddies and I beat both of mine. This, the fact that I was the only one who knew how to count infinitely high and that I was completely literate made the teachers make me test into the 'accelerated learning program'.
AP Calculus
AP Physics
AP English IV
Business Internship
That's my schedule. So far AP Calculus has been easy. I do all the HW before class ends and finish first on all the tests. Today, in fact, I finished my Calc test fast enough to do all 4 of the take home extra credit Sudoku puzzles before class ended.
I don't, however, know what to go into as a long term career.

I'm impressed. That you can do Sudoku puzzles that easily, that is. (unless the ones you were doing were 'easy')
None.
Algebra II was a breeze for me, although my teacher hated me. What grade are you in Ez?
12th, currently.
Algebra II gave me problems, though, because I don't like memorizing stuff. =( And other issues...
None.

I took Algebra in 7th and Geometry in 8th.
Same math teacher for both, and the best ever. In Algebra 1, we had already covered at least half of the things we got to in Algebra 2 last year.
