[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may not be aware of this but today AP & honors classes are the regular classes. [b]Over the years these have been watered down[/b] so that more people are able to participate. This has affected the rigor of these classes. [/quote] Do you have any evidence that the content of the AP US History class (for example) is less rigorous than it used to be at some point in the past (when?)?[/quote] NP who teaches APUSH. The course outline has not been watered down. I do feel that the new multiple choice questions based on documents require less historical knowledge. On the other hand, they may not be easier because sometimes they are subjective. Still many of the adults on DCUM who mock APs probably wouldn't pass.[/quote]
