Online Calculus and Cacl based Physics
nadinno:
Not sure how many of these classes are out there but the Colorado Community College system offers Calc based physics and Calculus online. They are part of Colorado's Guaranteed Transfer (GT Pathways) program. The transfer guarantee is for Colorado Universities. I doubt there would be any problems transfering to any other university out of state.

Click on PHY for physics. PHY 211 and 212 are the caclulus based courses. T
Click on Mat for math. MAT 201 202 203 are Calc I-III.
Look for the GT-MA1 and GT-SC1 in the course description.
You register through one of the individual community colleges and the course shows up on your transcript as taking the class through that community college.

How do they do the Lab online?
Almost all Universities require a lab as part of their curriculum for Physics and Chemistry classes that are calculaus based. It is strictly required in ABET programs also. Just wondering if you knew how they get the lab work done.
nadinno:
You buy a kit and do the labs at home, then submit a lab writeup:

The Pk-1 is for the first semester. The Pk-S covers 2 semesters. The community college requires every course to have a writing component to it. So the lab functions as the writing component. Mine lab write up's have been about 10 page's with description, drawings, pictures, calculations, and data charts. For me the write up is the most time consuming part of the entire class.
I may post the syllabus later.

nadinno, sorry to chime in so late but i was wondering what you thought overall about the course. Also while I know its a bit personal, did you do well in it?
