Best/Worst/Fave subject in school.
 
I can't say I have a best or favorite subject but I must say I HATE English. More specifically Composition aka Writing. Sure the instructors have a rubric but its complete BS. Your grade is entirely under their discretion. You could do everything required but still not get an A because they don't think its good enough.
They'll comment/critique it and knock off an arbitrary number of points.

I don't like it because there's no absolute concrete answers unlike math or science where you can get an 100% for doing the work and getting the right answers.

I'm probably going to get a B in my Comp2 class which is going to drag my gpa down -___-

I have to say I like Social Studies/History the most. I find it easy for me, and more interesting then the other subjects.

Rexx 09-22-2013 07:24 AM

I had the hardest time staying awake during lectures back in high school history classes.

Smoke 09-22-2013 07:54 AM

Worst is History... 45 mins in H.S was boring enough so 1hr 20mins is a killer have that class @ 8am too :/
I love math but I'm taking the math course online ( big regret ) because I can have the answer correct but submit it wrong x-x
My fave is English bc I have a great English professor, really cool guy. No complaints I go to the writing labs offered to have my work checked before submission so that helps.

Talon 09-22-2013 07:58 AM

Everyone seems to hate history classes but they're my favorite by far.

I like history, it's stories of true events. It's just the teachers make it so boring most of the time.

Yeah online math sucks. Especially mymathlabs. I am doing online Algebra but I specifically chose my professor because he writes all of his own material and doesn't use third party supplements to teach or test.

stuff like this is what makes math a bitch online

Damn, in my school, every single history teacher I've seen/had was hilarious and easy-going. Must be lucky.

THIS! :angry:
and yeah mymathlab is what i'm using for Algebra, which sucks bc you pay for the class then the code which the code alone is like 140$

-Albus 09-22-2013 10:18 AM

English and speech classes were the easiest for me. I didn't like them much but I didn't have to put in much effort for an A. Worst class is a toss up between math and chemistry. I'm fine with algebra but geometry messes me up. Favorite classes would have to be biology classes, especially human anatomy and physiology. College level A&P classes are tough, but having a cadaver to learn from makes the class really interesting.

Hadzz 09-22-2013 10:40 AM

Kiwi 09-22-2013 11:15 AM

Astroo 09-22-2013 03:13 PM

Worst: If this is grade-wise, then none, but if it's the one that I dislike the most, then I'd have to give that honor to French.
Favourite: Social Studies/History

Kavan 09-22-2013 03:19 PM

Best: Biology & Maths
Worst: ICT (I love computers, but the ICT teachers are so goddamn awful! They can't even use Excel...)

NeoZX 09-22-2013 03:36 PM

I love English and Writing, Math is MEH, Science is fun as hell(!), and I love World History.

Pazx 09-22-2013 03:47 PM

I'm not good at anything. I dislike English teachers and coursework, however I like the subject.

Rexx 09-22-2013 04:08 PM

The easiest class I ever took was "Current Events"
All we did in that class was talk about random stuff. You didn't even have to participate. It was basically a study hall with a discussion and everyone got an A.

That teacher was so lax. He would let students leave to go smoke.

Nabu Lapse 09-22-2013 05:05 PM

I love English class, I like it just because I love to write and you a lot of times you can express your feelings through words on a piece of paper and I like that. I also love Western Civilization, we have the best teacher in that class though so I'm not sure if that's why I like it so much. My worst subject is Geometry, that class just stresses me out. My favorite classes are by far Health, English, and Western Civ.

Lol I recognize that!

I like it though because you can redo it as many times as you want until you get the grade you want. For us it's all due at the end of the semester so it's not really stressful either.

Scaal 09-22-2013 05:32 PM

I always did good in shop classes. Got a 95% in my Metal shop/Welding class last year.
Barely passed math...

Looks to me like your worst class is English.

Nyte* 09-22-2013 06:24 PM

Best: Statistics, Calc, Geometry, Alg (all math)
Worst: Im pretty decent at the core subjects so I go with Art (never gonna take an art class)
Favorite: Well any subject where you sit near a good looking girl obviously.

Unlike everyone else I freakin hate English and History/Social Studies

Rexx 09-22-2013 10:03 PM

I feel like History is kind of a filler class. Most people dont even retain that knowledge because it doesnt really apply to anything, besides not being completely ignorant of world history. Government and political science are useful classes though.

For that, I have business more or less. We've covered actual business stuff, but every so often we just have whole class discussions on things like taxation and government policy, and how they're going to eventually effect us, and that's really interesting and useful to learn.

This year?
Accounting and Macroeconomics are my favorite classes.
Psychology is pretty ok.
Speech sucks (no reasons necessary) and Intro to Business sucks. every class, the professor gives pointless, boring lectures; and the whole grade for the class is one big 30-40 page group project -- business plan. 9week group project. sucks. but its only a 9week class, which means my tues/thurs afternoons will be wide open after fall break

Ryan 09-23-2013 06:34 AM

Any class that doesn't involve much theory work is what I enjoy

MrSimons 09-23-2013 07:21 AM

Favorite Class: ROTC - easy, doesnt require much thinking
Best: English - Writing comes natural to me
Worst: Geometry - Most boring class i have ever taken in my entire life

Since when do you make text faces n00b.

But anyways,
Best: probably History or English
Favorite: Hard to choose a favorite, because my teachers influence my opinion too much.
Worst: Dunno, maybe Trig.
Then again the school year only just begun, so my opinions will likely change.

Platinum 09-26-2013 08:10 AM

Best: All core subjects and German and Japanese.
Favourite: German and Japanese.
Worst: Textiles, PE

I get pretty much all As on core subjects and languages, but I get Ds on legit all Performance and Design subjects (art, textiles, cooking, etc.)
I can't sew and although I'm not fat/overweight, my highest score on the beep test is 4.0.

Kiko 09-26-2013 04:19 PM
