BTHS definitely doesn't give enough information on daedalus.
I'm taking AP Calculus AB this year.

I don't want to overload on classes, so I'm not sure if i should take APCALC BC, advanced calculus, or none at all? I was aiming for AP Java, but that isn't even an option on daedalus. What's the deal? I don't get it.
I understand that AP Calc BC is 2 periods, which is a turn-off.
Is advanced calculus 2 periods also? Or 1?

If you pass the AB test, you will most likely be placed into multivariable anyway. AP Calculus BC is the same exact thing as AP calculus AB except that it covers roughly 20% more material.
You can't expect to do everything, but there is everything to be expected.

You can also take AP Statistics. I'm in the class right now and I find it very useful and even fun at times. I recommend it if you are going to be a business major in college.

Daedalus was not meant to provide information about the classes, it is only the processing tool. Mr. Williams and the other Assistant Principals (including many faculty) worked hard to run the elective/selective presentations so more information would be available. Please provide feedback or suggestions to SGO for our discussions.
