<p>Well, after the core classes (math, science, history, english, language) </p>
<p>and after fine arts (music or art)</p>
<p>how do you pick your electives?</p>
<p>I'm debating whether to pick mostly computer electives or B.S. fun electives</p>
<p>computer electives are fun for me. Except for the ones like computer apps which is just a waste of time.</p>
<p>if the rest of your schedule is already pretty difficult, pick fun electives to make things a bit easier for yourself(unless you really enjoy computer electives then do that).</p>
<p>Well, you can use electives to either get ahead or relax. Computer electives are fairly entertaining (especially when you are a 1337 |-|4X0R :D), practical, and constructive. But beware of courses like Computer Applications. In that class, we run through all the basic MS Office programs for 5 months. I believe we spent 6 weeks or so on MS Word. You'd be much better off taking a Computer Science course. If you cant, you might want to pick another elective.</p>
<p>ceramics is a blast. but take it first period, the clay is fresh.</p>
<p>All art electives for me. I tried Journalism twice, but none of my articles were put in the school newspaper :D . One time I got into TV Productions, but it was too much work, so I switched out of it.</p>
<p>We never do much work in art. It's like my "study hall".</p>
<p>I would advise against Yearbook as an elective though. I thought it'd be a free period but then I found out that we had to actually make the yearbook (Nobody even though of that right? -__- ). But I can't switch out of it since I already have a leadership position in it...</p>
<p>Haha, usually my electives are things like "PIB Chemistry" and "AP Stats." I kinda picked them because I'm at school (free school!) and it'd be a waste to get less education than I could have. Plus I like math.</p>
<p>Depends on what period they're offered...I wouldn't take an elective that would cause me to end up with a free period in the middle of the day...I'd rather leave school early.</p>
<p>Take what you like, what appeals to you. If anyone asks you why you took the classes, you can say, "because I wanted to." Also consider how much you like the teachers that teach the classes, as that can influence how much you enjoy the class.</p>
<p>Hahaha art is like my study hall too.</p>
<p>If you really can't think of anything, just go ask a teacher in your subject of preference and see if you can do independent study... or something.</p>
<p>ya i took journalism for my elective this year and found out something..........i hat eit :) so next year im going to take a class that will acctually help me in life......like AP stats or something....but i like math (mu alpha theta for precalc) so thts just me</p>
