[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RS1 class is all about getting data into a template and using functions on the calculator, no? and then understanding how to interpret the resulting values in the context of the research. What is so hard about that. [/quote].

Because TJ. Full stop.

But, it is likely that the RS1 summer class was much, much easier than the school year version.  My DC did summer CS.  School year CS is not a cakewalk, and his 2 B+ s freshman year were math and Bio-- the STEM classes as TJ are hardcore. And he worked hard for those grades. (And Design Tech and English and Spanish II, which were As, but not Easy As).

But summer CS was an easy A, with absolutely no homework until the last week (final project plus exam).   [b]I was shocked when I saw how little work he put in for a strong A. And not just him.  Some kids definately got Bs.  But more kids he knows got, As and found it much, much easier then a school year TJ StEM class.  Plus, kids who have done summer CS in the past have said they are ready for AP CS. [/b]The general theory is "much less filler material".  If RS ran the same way, then it was probably much easier than the rest of the Math Sequence 4, AP Calc and Beyond).  Which should be fine unless you have a kid who plans to take RS 2 (which is AP Stats.). [/quote]

Slightly confused about the contradiction here. Summer CS, I guess after freshman year, was easier with very little work needed for A's but kids are ready for APCS ? if they didn't do a lot of work then how are they ready for APCS which is much harder. [/quote]
