Many US law schools prefer that you study something less directly related to the law for your undergrad degree. I'm not saying that studying criminology for your BA will keep you out of all US law schools, but... law schools, to be honest, don't love that major. Law schools prefer that they are the ones that train you in the law. They feel that if you've majored in criminology, they have to "untrain" you, and worse, that you may come in feeling like you already know it all. That said, if you truly love that major, do it. It's likely you'll do better in a major that you really like, than in one that you're just taking because you think a law school would want to see it - and your undergrad grades are very, very important to law school admissions. To get into a US law school, you'll need to take the LSAT as you approach the end of your bachelors degree years. If you study at a US law school, can you practice in Canada? What hoops must you jump through? These are things you'd want to research while you study your BA.

It depends on what courses you took and how they translate as American credits. It's a very broad question.
2 :
There are accreditation agencies that can evaluate and match courses from one university (even from a foreign country) to the equivalent course and credit in an American university. But when I tried to find one of these agencies with an internet search, all I could find was schools explaining their procedures for transferring credits. This makes sense, since the idea is for a student coming to the U.S. to continue his or her studies. If you are still in Pakistan, you might want to speak to a school advisor. They are probably familiar with the process and can point you in the right direction. If you are already in the U.S. look up a local college and inquire there. If you need additional hours to qualify for the same BA, I'm sure they would be glad to help. Oh, by the way, from what I remember about those agencies, they do charge a fee to research the credits and issue a formal report.. But I guess that's no surprise. Best of luck and Welcome to the U.S.

There are some differences. When you are 14 or 15 you are usually in the 8th or 9th grade, possibly 10th. You study history (usually world history, world geography or european history), science (bilogy or chemistry or earth science), Math (anywhere from pre-algebra to functions analytical geometry depending on skill level) English, and possibly a foreign language and elective such as art or music. You graduate high school in the 12th grade (around 17,18 years old) when you get your diploma. you can go on to college for 2 or 4 years where there are various degrees availible, and graduate school for an additional few if you wish. School is not year round, it is cut into 4 quarters and 2 semesters with the summer vacation between grades that lasts around 2 months depending on where you go to school with small holiday breaks throughout the year.

I don't know much about education in France specifically, but in Europe in general there is a lot more emphasis on geography and foreign languages. For younger students, arithmetic, spelling, and reading are the main topics. For 14 and 15 English, Math, and Science are the big things. You get to choose as you get older.

Are schools in the USA assigning math homework over the holiday break
Are schools in the USA assigning math homework over the holiday break?
I like reading through the questions, but it surprised me how many grade school, high school and college math assignment questions seem to be here yesterday and today. I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but it's just puzzling to me. When I was in school and college, we didn't do assignments over the breaks. Has that all changed these days?

I don't know about the USA, but I'm a retired Canadian teacher and once the departmentals (provincial wide) came in, you can bet your socks I assigned things to be done over any holiday. Holiday time is time for review and refining skills; exams for average and below average students are a nightmare and it comes down to 3 hours (maybe 3-1/2 under certain circumstances). Those #$%$$$# exams certainly changed teaching styles; indeed they ended a great many things that made good teachers better and average students able to do the work. Now the object is to see how many tricky questions can be put on an exam and what how to write one where the bell curve is king and its apex is at 63.5. True facts. Edit ==== That 63.5 cost the Alberta government and its citizens 10 million dollars a term. Think what could be done with that in the classroom.

My (USA private) highschool used to have finals after the so-called break; so you were almost forced into studying during your so called vacation. It is not common practice. Most people just get 2 weeks off.
3 :
I've been wondering about that too, but the other persons who've answered made some sense of the situation. There's less questions than usual though. I like answering the ones which haven't been answered in over a day, and there's very few of those lately.

well it depends on which county you are in because i live in shelby county and someone else lives in a different one and they have homework
