Maybe some students take the honor option to boost GPA? Honor option is not available in summer.

Is it P/F or graded in summer?

On one hand I could see taking it to have it out of way if want to take another advanced core class, but guess counter argument is gives a “break” from other harder core classes if take during the year. Thoughts?


It’s a filler course FCPS mandates and not hard so doing it online either in summer or over the year frees up a class period for something a kid wants to take more.

Is course known to be easier online and over summer? Do most take pass/fail or for a grade?

How can they start it early? Do they send them a link in May?


It started early in 2020 but I don’t think that’s the norm. My kid couldn’t start until the first week of June last year, IIRC.

My kid was less than 3 hours a day. It depended on the lesson but he had 14 days to do it and managed fine with other activities. Most people have more time in their schedule. Last year we got the welcome email on 5/31 and it started on the 6/5.

Sorry - how many weeks is the class and can you start at any point in the summer?

My kid will be on a family trip and camp for 2 weeks. Can he start early in the summer to get it out of the way? Thanks

2-3 hours a day. You can work ahead but don’t get behind.

How much time do kids need to devote to this class typically? I understand it is self-paced, but I'm trying to see how much time students typically need.
Thanks.
