[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's finals in two AP classes are this week and next. I get that it's practice for the AP test, but still seems crazy early for finals. Is this a common FCPS practice?[/quote] Wow, what do they do in that class for the final 30 days of school?[/quote] Mine did projects.[/quote] Was it for a grade? Or as a placeholder they just had finished the course?[/quote] DP but my experience on such projects was yes, they were for grade. Such projects provided an opportunity to explore one topic deeper, or get into a related topic, something that was within the general scope of the course but not necessarily a priority for "performing well on the AP Test". We spent ~90% of the year focused on the test requirements, was nice to have at least that ~10% of our studies be not as test-driven.[/quote]
