[quote=Anonymous]We had not focused on DE since DC never showed any interest (rising senior). He now thinks that he may want to do that instead of an AP.

Can someone explain what it means from a workload and college perspective?  
- Do kids have to attend in-person classes?  If so, how often?
- How difficult are the mechanics of the class in relation to HS?  Homework, quizzes, tests, exams, etc?  How often?
- Grading difficulty? 
- Which college do FCPS kids do this with?  NVCC or GMU?
- Will exams be in-person and/or conflict with HS tests/AP exams?  If so, how do kids deal with those conflicts?
- How does the transfer of grades to college work?  Say a college accepts an AP score of 4 or 5 and waives a class with full credit (e.g. AP CS).  Do things work the same way with DE?  Will the course requirement be waived completely with full credit or will it be considered a transfer and the DE GPA become part of the college GPA?
- What's the typical grade expected in a DE class to get college waiver - 3.0?

Thanks![/quote]
