Courses Find the Perfect Online Calc-Based Physics 2 Course with Lab for Summer"

AI Thread Summary
An individual is seeking recommendations for an online calculus-based Physics 2 course with a lab component to stay on track with their major. The discussion highlights the difficulty of finding such courses, particularly for summer sessions. One participant mentions that the University system in Georgia offers online calculus-based physics courses through a program called eCore, although no summer options were found. They also recommend Athabasca University in Canada, which offers a course (Phys205) that aligns with the American curriculum for introductory electromagnetism. Additionally, they share their positive experience with a previous course (Phys204) and suggest supplementing the course material with resources like YouTube for better understanding.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of an online calc-based physics 2 course with a lab? I know it's a lot of criteria to match and I've had a pretty hard time searching, but I thought I'd ask in case someone else has taken or is aware of something! I need to take it this summer in order to be on track with my major and any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's a tough ask. The University system in GA has some online Calc based Physics courses including labs but my quick check did not turn up anything running in the summer. The program is called eCore, and these courses are offered through a number of institutions.
 
I use Athabasca U (canadian based), has physics II - Phys205 (calc based) E&M and it seems to follow american curriculum for introductory EM. I have read of american students taking calc classes there.

I took phys 204, it was the standard calc based Newtonian mech class, with appropriate difficulty level imo. The videos for the class are ok but I supplemented with micheal van biezen on youtube and it helped tie loose ends for me.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
