Trilliums Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Senior plans for Me: :willy_nilly: For son, at home: Biology w/MIT open course ware. I ordered the textbook and have been helping him come up with the plan for pacing the video lectures and problem sets. still debating the lab component. LA: Taking part in an online lit discussion group, doing some of Lightning Lit Early-Mid American, and an online coursera class in writing for the sciences (hopefully it will be a good fit for him). Might add on the LL later Amer. section, or add some readings from that era--depending on final plans for history. History: Hate to admit it, but we have not finalized this. Was planning on US History but this might morph into Modern History. I am tryin g convince him to continue with Spanish, but he is resistant to this idea as it is his least favorite subject. At University: First semester: calc 3 and linear algebra Second semester: modern physics and something else that is slipping my mind--I think mechanics? He has been volunteering in a lab this summer and hopes to continue with that a few hours a week once school starts. He does not do sports now but he has a self managed exercise routine which he will continue. Goes to some community tech type clubs but not sure if he will continue as it depends on how time consuming/demanding his classes at the U will be. I think he will find them quite absorbing and he might have a hard time partitioning his time into the other subjects. He will also be continuing to work on college application essays this fall. As far as life skills, I do have some plans for basics--like personal finances, driving, and other topics related to going off to college (survival cooking maybe!) although these are also things we have continuously discussed over time. Are there just not that many seniors out there this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttichen Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 We have our kids finish most of their APs, etc. by the end of junior year. My senior is doing a half-time internship at an NIH lab. At the CC, he'll take linear algebra in the fall and differential equations in the spring. He is doing AP Macroeconomics with PAH, but he won't take the exam. At home, we'll do English, French, and German lit courses that he designs (reading what he wants/writing essays.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
