Re: [ECOLOG-L] Summary of Ecology in AP responses

Hi all, As a biology major recently graduated, as well as a science and math tutor, I have also seen the trouble of AP credits in science programs. Many of my peers who "think" they are ready for college-level science from AP classes seem to struggle the most. I also tend to be old-fashioned in th

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Treatment of Ecology in AP classes

We only give credit for a non-majors course. No credit towards majors freshman bio. We just don't trust what the high schools cover. Lots of schools around here teach anatomy as the AP course. So, we made the decision long ago to not give any credit to the incoming bio majors. If they had a

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Treatment of Ecology in AP classes

Sorry to pile on to this discussion, but in recent years I have been working with many professional schools who really detest AP credits (especially biology and calculus). If students who plan on going to medical school or pharmacy school etc, they should be advised that those AP courses shou

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Treatment of Ecology in AP classes

I can't speak directly to the question of whether the classes provide adequate coverage of any given topic. Consulting the AP web site confirms your suspicion that ecology coverage comes last in the course. And of course, whether any given topic is covered adequately is strictly dependent on t

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Treatment of Ecology in AP classes

Jeff, While I have not graded the AP biology exam, I have graded other exams, and as far as content covered, you really have to consider what the exams covers versus what is being taught in the classroom. I have found that how material is covered can vary widely between class, but all the inst
