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 graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
