Math is Tough

<p>Edwardz, i agree. math is just a class about application.</p>

<p>Math is really easy for me</p>

<p>my history teacher skim reads the papers i try hard on</p>

<p>my history teacher wrote me a rec letter and she filled out "Best in my career" for every category except for "written expression of ideas." I was most definitely the best writer in my class but she had insanely high standards.</p>

<p>Math is relatively straightforward: learn about five formulas a chapter and apply them to various sets of numbers to obtain a solution. In the case that a proof is required, learn a few conjectures and put them together with algebra, geometry, and a bit of calculus to show the process of obtaining the proved conjecture.
English is simply reading and memorizing details of a book, sorting them into various types like themes, character traits, symbols; afterwards one uses vocabulary of literature (literary terms) to analyze facts and put them together in sentences to construct an analytical essay. (Essays involving personal expression (creative writing) are not permitted until grade 12.)
History (normally) close to English in memorization of facts and assembly for an analytical essay. In World History...there is no formula.
Science: Also depends. Biology is mostly memorization and regurgitation of facts. Chemistry inlvovles more memorization of both concepts and formulas, but also involves some skill in the form of labs. Physics is just another math period.
Foreign Language: How is this done?</p>

<p>i love foreign language. just memorize vocab words and grammar rules and you're set!!!</p>

<p>Math is easy. English and history is hard because of all the memorizing involved.</p>

<p>Forgein language...god I hate Spanish. I memorized all the vocab and rules like fiend. Then, she would just give us essays to write in spanish on the tests or stories to read. Stuff totally unrelated to the unit. Spanish 3 Honors was definitely one of the hardest ever courses.</p>

<p>I like spanish. I hateeeee latin. I'm falling behind and the class is just going faster and faster. Somehow everyone in my class gets above a 90 average though.</p>

<p>See, my spanish class, I was the only with above a 90 (92 i had) it was damned too hard.</p>

<p>My spanish class has the worst teacher, you can slack around so much in that class and still have get a decent grade in it. However, we have to teacher a lot of the material to ourselves since she's bad at teaching. She's also the advisor to the spanish club at our school and i'm VP of it. I hate the spanish program.</p>

<p>I hate math. </p>

<p>That is all.</p>

<p>Math isn't bad at all. I actually enjoy it a lot although not enough to go become a mathematician. Overall textbook math is easy but when you get into contest math that's where everything you learn goes out the window, that's when math becomes ridiculously difficult.</p>

<p>English: Pay attention at lectures, read novels, read cliffnotes, write 3 page essays on novels, receive mediocre grades on essays.
Physical education: Be physically present.
Math: Listen to lectures, read the books, do homework, ace the tests.
Science: Read the book, Do English and Math H.W. during lectures, ace the tests.
History: Listen to lectures, Endlessly memorize dates and order of historical events. Get A's on tests.
Last 3 weeks of AP classes: Play DDR.
In general math is really really really easy, but doing proofs in near impossible in advanced classes (Matrix Algebra, Statistics, Calculus)</p>

hells yeah!!!</p>

<p>...more like...play every game system imaginable whilst in class.</p>

<p>yay.</p>

<p>Good times.</p>

<p>...more like...pull my hair out over math and physics and still do badly. I've resigned myself to getting B-'s in math and physics. I'm so happy I only have a term and a half of this BS left.</p>

<p>math-love it, its so logical sometime.,...
physics- i love the ideas and theories but once I get stuck ona problem I hate it hahaha
english- its awesome if the books are cool if not its hard as hell
econ- truly the love of my life...it makes reading the newspaper actually enlightening lol</p>

<p>im to lazy to type anymore</p>

<p>I totally agree.</p>

<p>English and History-Easy classes. Lots of fun. I love these classes. The less I worry/study, the higher the grade.
Math(only calculus) and Physics-45 minutes (each) of pure hell & agony. I obviously ABHOR these classes with a passion. Decided not to worry about grades in those classes anymore. The more I worry/study, the lower the grade in these classes.
French-Hard but like the class nonetheless. Study/worry/grade relation is unpredictable.</p>

<p>I'll spend an hour in class taking math notes and listing to the teacher, and won't understand the concepts. I have friend help me out one on one, and I'm able to pick it up in under 5min. I think math classes need to be smaller.</p>
