AP Physics 1 Semester 1 Final Blog Post (Blog #7): AP Physics 1 For Freshmen?

Hello, my wonderful, lovely AP Physics 1 Physicists!

Can you believe we're already about to wrap up the first semester of your high school career?  Crazy how time flies when you're having phun!

For this last blog post, please answer the following questions:

Should Northglenn continue to offer AP Physics 1 for freshmen?  Explain.
* Did you apply to be in AP or were you "placed" in AP physics?  Were you surprised to be in AP?  Excited?  Disappointed?  Why?
* Do you think AP physics is/was the right place for you?  Or, would you prefer to be in CP physics?  Why?  Explain. 
* What has been the most challenging aspect of AP physics?  What has been the least challenging (easiest) aspect of AP physics?
*  What do you think Ms. Dykstra could/should do differently to better support you (or future freshmen) taking AP physics?
*  If Northglenn continues to offer AP physics 1 for freshmen, what do you think the requirements/prerequisites should be for enrolling students in the class?
*  If Northglenn does NOT offer AP physics 1 for freshmen, how should we provide skill/ability-appropriate classes or coursework for all freshmen to better fit each students' math proficiency? 
*  Any other thoughts/perspectives that you would like to share on this topic.
