[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid took multivariable calculus which was taught by a TJ teacher at TJ. Kids had the choice to pay for dual enrolment credit with George Mason.

The final exam for the course was the George Mason paper, which was way easier than any of the tests during the school year, and raised her final grade significantly.[/quote]

Academic rigor at TJ is comparable to that of at top STEM universities/colleges, not that of GMU/NVCC.   Putting aside the tiny few DE students, GMU/NVCC exist to serve the vast majority of average students who do not want to be subjected to harvard/mit or even T100 like rigor.  If GMU/NVCC starts enforcing TJ like rigor, then they would be discouraging its vast student population from continuing there.  [/quote]

Sort of. There's rigor and there is thoroughness. Semester classes in highschool generally can't cover a college semester, since high school has 7 classes per semester.

Some classes are mini courses they preview the material in one semester, and some courses give a full treatment, usually over a full year for a semester class.
