I didn't understand the difference between 2D Art and Drawing until my art teacher explained it to me either. But they're not testing the same skills. Drawing is what it's called, drawing. They're looking for sophisticated mark making, and realistic artwork would fit a Drawing portfolio more than a 2D one. For 2D, they're looking for more graphical things, and you can even do photography for a 2D Art portfolio. If you prefer stuff like graphic design over realistic portraits, then you would pick 2D Art over Drawing. So I feel getting rid of Drawing would put students who prefer the kind of portfolio it asks for at a disadvantage having to pick 2D Art or no AP Art course at all. Other than that, you made great points. Good video!
@@Shaia_TeamLCE Thanks for informing us! Yeah, I do not know too much about the AP Art classes, but from first impression, they looked pretty similar. Do you believe it is better for both of them to remain as separare classes, should one of them be removed, or should there be a new AP class that's a balanced share of skills from each?
@@Mr.AP5 Of course! Yes, I do think that it's better that they stay as separate classes. AP 2D art would be better for people going into fields like graphic design, photography, etc. AP Drawing cultivates the skills needed for someone to become something like a professional painter or a fine artist!
Next video should be top 5 APs that college board needs to add. IMO that’s smth like: a new math AP like stats where it doesn’t use more advanced math algebra 2 but has different skills tested, AP accounting, AP instrumental music.
In terms of my school, AP precalc acts as a sort of safety net, since most people in my high school get to calc AB. Therefore, if you fail the AB exam, precalc (may) save you
AP Latin mirrors real college courses which all AP classes should do. A real college Latin class is heavily based in translation and that is what AP Latin studies. The Aeneid and Caesar's Gallic Wars both are interesting parts of Roman history and culture. I believe the main purpose of becoming proficient at translation is to be able to decide for yourself what ancient texts may have been truly saying. Texts can have meaning lost in translation but being able to have a good understanding of Latin allows for a more meaningful interpretation of ancient texts. This may not be a practical use but being a proficient student in AP Latin prepares you for the practical uses as well. To succeed in AP Latin you need a very good understanding of vocabulary and seeing that a lot of words in many languages come from Latin you would understand them.
Okay for my opinion: 1. AP Pre-Calculus was the first AP class I took and I feel as if they could just make the AP exam harder. And since normally people take Pre-Calculus in their senior year and we would only need 3 years worth of Math in high school (at least for us), high school seniors could have a chance at taking an AP math class since subjects can be bias since Math is kind of the only class where you would have to take different levels of in high school (an a little bit of English) but in science there is Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and you can take each class at any point in high school same thing with history (World, Euro, US) unlike Math where there is Algebra 1, then Geometry, then Algebra II, then Pre-Calc, then Calc+. I guess what I am trying to say is that the order in which you take the classes matter for a math class and not any other class. And for me the class itself wasn’t as easy as the exam was. 2. AP African American History they can change it to AP African History in general(Then again I would be surprised how much the curriculum knows or is willing to teach about African History). I mean they are willing to do AP Euro (I mean the US was created by Europeans). I think it would be really nice for African Americans to learn about themselves and where they came from since America has kept them from this for a while now, the same thing can happen with a class called AP Asian, or something like that. It would be a great way to learn more in-depth material on other ethnic groups (besides AP World) 3. AP Latin was the formal universal language and I think Latin overall is a hard language to learn but it has great potential to show off skills since learning Latin is worth a lot. I am a Latin III student and it’s really hard to actually learn Latin vs getting a good grade in my class since the bar is set very low, it’s kind of like the opposite of AP Pre-Calc, getting a good grade is a lot harder than the exam was in my class. 4. AP Spanish Literature and AP Spanish Language I think should be combined into one class since it’s not quite the universal language, but I feel like Spanish isn’t as hard to learn as some of other languages from native English speakers. 5. AP Drawings. I think they can merge it with a different art class, I don’t see why they would have it into 2 art classes. These are just some of my opinions! :))
I took AP Precalculus last year since I was already in Honors Precalculus. I basically self-studied the topics that I didn't learn in class and got a five. I took one look at the colleges that accept the credit and was like "I fked up." Yeah. Don't take it it's a waste of your time unless you want to show colleges you can take the AP version of an already-on-track math course.
@@thepenguinofficial Im taking it right now from home as a 7th class (without credit though :() so I can hopefully test out. Its a requirement for ap calc and Im not sitting through a year of wasted time before calc
my guess human geo ap latin (based on title) ap african american studies (ive never heard lf it even though I thought I knew every single one) ap research ap music theory Precalc caught me offgaurd. At our school. We are required to take it before ap calc. We also only offer ap precalc because our regular precalc course was much harder than ap so they just made it easier
music theory is actually very useful for musicians. It helps you gain a more in-depth understanding of the music that you are playing than just “am I doing this right?”
I have a few other courses to add to this list: AP Art History (Could be replaced with AP World/Euro) AP Physics 1 (Covers nearly the exact same content as C but without Calculus) AP CSP (A far more poorly organized and dumbed down version of AP CSA) AP HUGE (I don't have to explain this one)
No I like CSP 😭 ! About Art History though, maybe we could just have a unit on art (or a topic on art in each unit that connects to the other topics) in the other two histories you mentioned.
I disagree with ap human geo. Yes it’s not very complex, but it does two things 1. It provides an overview of important information that most people should have a background in (culture, population rates, industry, farming, political landscape etc.) 2. It’s fairly easy in AP standards, so it provides first time AP class takers with a smooth introduction into what AP classes are like
Honestly, i think AP Latin is fine, as Latin is still a major world language taken in high schools (more than other languages that have APs such as Japanese or Italian), so I think it makes sense for those who are taking Latin as a world language in HS to have an opportunity to take the AP level.
My district basically decides your math class path at the end of 5th grade, and it naturally crosses AP Calculus AB. If you pass the test you do pre-algebra in 6th which sets you up for Algebra 1 in 7th, Geometry in 8th, Honors Algebra II in 9th, Honors Precalculus in 10th, AP Calculus AB in 11th, and AP Calculus BC in 12th. In this case, I don’t know why you’d skip AB
@@Jake-cc7ie Many school require AB before BC, then others only have you take one or the other (unless you had regular Pre-Calc, then it’s basically impossible to get into BC) I went from Honors Pre-Calc to BC, like most kids here!
@@Jake-cc7ie I’m in 11th currently, so I’m going to take Multivariable Calculus next year. I did Algebra I Honors in 8th, Geometry in 9th (they didn’t have Honors in my 9th grade school), then regular Algebra II in 10th, Pre-Calc Honors this past summer, so now Calc BC in 11th.
@@Shaia_TeamLCEI commend you on summer classes and skipping AB. I took the accelerated path early so that I could take advanced classes from 7th to 12th without classes over the summer
@@Jake-cc7ie Thanks! Yeah, basically nobody intending on taking BC takes AB first in my school. But most do AP Pre-Calc in 11th and then BC in 12th. I feel as though the purpose of BC is lost when you take AB first, but each school has its own policy! Good luck!!
You may be right when it comes to AP but im not discontinuing the any college placement or HSP courses at my school i run. I want everybody to have what they need.
Me and a few of my friends are a few years ahead in some classes, so we literally had to recruit people for calc bc because they didn’t teach it and said they wouldn’t unless we got a certain amount of people 💀
