Geometry

<p>Only reason I hated Geometry was because of proofs (some were pretty easy, but still) and crazy work load my teacher gave the class.</p>

<p>I would have recommended that you take it in a class, because then there's more pressure to keep up with the material. We spent half the class time making note cards to explain all the concepts, which made it even easier, and then we'd be quizzed every few days so that we'd keep up with the material.</p>

<p>Geo Regular and Geo Honors are two completely different courses. I've never seen a bigger difference between a regular and honors course than with Geometry.</p>

<p>Geometry was easy, but proofs were so tedious and annoying.</p>

23

<p>I didn't like the Laws of Sines/Cosines, but that's about it. Actually, I thought that <em>gasp!</em> proofs were really fun. You can pave your own way with your definitions and properties. But they took up a lot of space in my notebook....Wow, I sound weird.</p>

<p>I loved both geometry and proofs. That's because I don't like conventional math (i.e. algebra, calc), so geometry was like "Mathematics: Free style!" Seriously, proofs were fun! If I couldn't figure out the way the teacher wanted me to do one, I'd figure out another technically correct way, and she'd have to agree! I loved it.</p>

<p>geometry was good. algebra ii blows.</p>

<p>Yes well, at least I can spell.</p>

<p>^Lol....,.....</p>

<p>Thankfully, my geometry teacher didn't make us do as many proofs as the other one in the school.</p>

<p>What sucks, though, is that in Algebra 2 this past year, there was a test where we had to find asymptotes, and so I wrote something like:</p>

<p>Vertical asymptote = 3
Horizontal asymptote = 10</p>

<p>Sure, yeah, the teacher told us to say VA = X = 3, HA = Y = 10, and I forgot. But when I got a 90 on the test purely because of those mistakes, I tried to weasel my way out of it with the transitive property (A = B, B = C, A = C, right?), but she wouldn't give me the points!</p>

<p>What's the use for geometry if you can't grade grub with it?</p>
