So, bah. Supposedly the government class is not intensively focused on the AP prep - again, that's what I've heard from others. The fact that he uses Penny Candy in his econ class is not at all neutral though. It's clear to me that Nathaniel Gilbert himself is on the conservative political end of the spectrum, but I've heard he manages the course pretty neutrally. Yeah, I've always heard really good things about Gilbert's government classes - they're relaxed and have a nice back and forth with students and a range of different views among the students - at least, so I've heard. It mentions a variety of different weekly assignment types (videos, readings, worksheets, etc.), which sounds more manageable to me on the surface.ĭoes anyone have reviews/personal experience with either of these classes with either provider? I am having a harder time getting a read on what the actual output of the AIM government class would be (I'm not seeing a sample syllabus at first glance). I am getting the impression from the syllabus that the WTMA government course would have a lot of writing output, which would be a big challenge for this particular kid. I'm currently leaning towards AIM Academy for government with Gilbert in the fall, and WTMA for econ with Caro in the spring (the WTMA econ text looks better to me on initial inspection). I don't mind paying another fee to AIM Academy if one or both of these classes seem like they would be a better fit there. He's already taking two classes at WTMA (Writing and Spanish II), so we've already paid the extra fees there for the year. I think he may be more interested in that subject and want to determine whether he might like to subsequently take one or both of the AP Economics classes. That said, I want a slightly more rigorous economics course. I'm not expecting him to love government, so I'm more interested in a relatively light exposure to the subject. This kid is extremely STEM oriented, and will be simultaneously taking a fairly heavy DE load (calc 2, calc 3, stats, and higher level CS classes). I'm deciding between AIM Academy or WTMA for these two classes for my middle son for next year.
