Bear with me...

Ok, so I've just started creating my page, so please bear with me! I didn't realize how hard it was to find time in the day in order to update this. Not to mention how stressful exams are :( I'm just finishing up the last of my IB exams and my finals start soon. Ugg. But, I can't wait to start classes at ERAU in the fall. I went to the Accepted Student Preview Day in April and walked around the campus - I felt at home immediately. So, I know ERAU is the place for me! I received my course schedul… Continue

I have three more papers to go and then even i'll be free, except that we wont have the booze as I live in a dry state!!

At 4:46pm on May 16th, 2008, Felipe Garcia said…: Here they make certificate available, but the thing is that we're a pretty small school (my class is like 46 or so), and only 10 diploma survivors, and there aren't any real offerings for juniors and seniors, so there would be a bunch of people doing absolutely nothing. Also, a lot of new people come from other places every year, and some of them haven't taken classes that are necessary to be in some IB classes.

At 4:40pm on May 16th, 2008, Rajmohan D. Waghela said…: Our subject of attention were Chemistry teachers. We have done such things in the lab that actually made a few of them cry. My school is quite liberal. So they allow laptops in class, mobile phones are almost a prerequisite. So we played Counter Strike (using school network off course) in class and when she tried to do something - Ammonia bottles here we come. It was plain extortion and the poor thing couldnt even tell the princi cause he talks only in french!!!

At 4:18pm on May 16th, 2008, Felipe Garcia said…: That sucks, I asked my teacher about going to HL, and he told me that I could do it, but my grades were going to be like C's and maybe B-s because I didn't take the recommended 1st year of SL in 10th grade, so I went to SL, still, it wasn't a very easy class like many expected, and we ended up being like 12 of the original 20 something. The good side was that I didn't have to do the HL part of statistics & probability (I sucked at it).

Here the deadlines weren't that bad, but you were threatened to be removed from the diplomma if you failed to meet 2 deadlines, but most of those who failed to meet deadlines weren't even taking diplomma.

At 5:47am on May 16th, 2008, Rajmohan D. Waghela said…: Today was infact quite emotional. The girls in my class were actually crying because they will not see each other, atleast any time soon instead of the pathetic french paper.

Anyways did you say 4 years of work!!! Here we do it in 2 years and one kid who just did 1 year got a 40 on 45.

And ya, i do miss my late night work hours. Our school is possibly the most happy go lucky type - I remember we had EE due the next day morning and we were in school trying to do it till 3 o'clock (some were there is 7 am also). We actually packed them infront of the DHL guy. It was so funny. More than that at night we then use to party in school pump up the music and disturb our neighbors!!!! However, the most noble of the activities was to cut the Academic Honesty banner in tiniest pieces possible

At 5:34pm on May 15th, 2008, Felipe Garcia said…: That's an interesting way, here you take the full 2 years, it kinda sucks to be limited the way you are, but I assume that you do your internal assessments while you are taking the class, that's good because you don't have to be running because all of them are due the same friday.
Here they're limited by the teachers (and the administration/board of directors seems to enjoy to get rid of the best teachers) and the school size (this year they added 6 more classrooms because that was needed, but at the cost of 3 clasrooms lost and 2 made smaller).

Here it is nice because you have a bunch of people stuck in the "easy" classes like math studies (well, people swear that they can get A's there just by doing homework and B's just for showing up, C's for not showing up but doing the tests), and the hard classes are empty, for example Bio SL only had 2 survivors (out of like 8 who started). The disadvantage is that if you're in one of those "easy classes" you move at a slower pace even if you're the one who works the most, and you're surrounded by a bunch of people who're there just for the credits.

This year they screwed twice the people who were taking the class but not registered for the exam, because they had to show up on the exam day to do a 2006 or 2007 exam and it counted towards their grade.

At 2:55pm on May 15th, 2008, Rajmohan D. Waghela said…: hi there,

I see that your another of those IB survivors. I can only feel the freedom but i have a long way to go!!!
Congrats on surviving!

At 2:06pm on May 15th, 2008, Felipe Garcia said…: So you took all your classes for 1 year or what? Here Physics is offered to everyone, but our class had 6 in one period, 8 at the beginning, 6 survived. It was crazy last year, because we had a teacher who said that taught his class that covers the IB SL syllabus and more, so it was between SL and HL, and it was crazy, but he left and so the new teacher only covered the SL material.
Chemistry SL was a popular class last year for those who needed 1 credit, after that one year it dropped from like 22 to like 14. We were able to get a HL class for 6 of us, and the extra work paid off during the mock exams.

As for the notes, I'm probably scanning the useful things and taking that with me, and I have electronic copies of all the important stuff.
