Falsely accsued of bullying
Subject: Wrongly Accused of Bullying I wanted to share something troubling that’s been happening at school. I’ve been accused of bullying, specifically for allegedly being part of a group that body shames, physically harasses, and intimidates others. The truth is, I don’t socialize with large groups, and I’m generally quite shy. The school claims that […]
Deciding whether to take AP Physics C: Mechanics while also taking Calculus AB for the first time depends on a few factors:
Interest in Physics and Math: If you have a strong interest in physics and enjoy problem-solving with mathematical concepts, then AP Physics C could be a great fit. It’s a rigorous course that focuses heavily on calculus concepts, so a genuine interest will help you stay motivated.
Mathematical Foundation: Since AP Physics C uses calculus, it’s essential that you have a good grasp of the concepts you’ll be learning in Calculus AB. If you find that you’re comfortable with calculus concepts and enjoy applying them, you should be able to manage both courses.
Workload: Be prepared for a significant amount of work. Both AP Physics C and Calculus AB are challenging courses, and taking them concurrently may require excellent time management skills. If you’re already balancing other responsibilities (such as extracurricular activities or part-time work), consider whether you’ll have enough time to dedicate to both classes.
Support Systems: Having a good support system can help you succeed. This could include studying with friends, seeking help from your teacher, or utilizing online resources. If you think you can tap into these resources effectively, it might make the course load more manageable.
Previous Background: Consider your background in physics and math. If you’ve taken a solid foundation in high school physics and have done well in math courses, you might be more prepared than someone who hasn’t.
In summary, it’s definitely doable, but you should have a strong interest in the subjects, a good foundation in both calculus and physics, and be prepared for the extra workload. If you feel confident in those areas, go for it!
