<p>Really? I’d think ceramics would be a fun course.</p>
<p>I love your, ahem, language, INVENIAMVIAM. I agree that practicing what one knows and teaching it are two different things. Did your classmates say the same about him?
I myself found my Geometry teacher hilarious. I managed to correct her mistakes almost everyday. That’s why the effect of her on the class was not as … dramatic, I guess.</p>
<p>Now I absolutely hate Theology. I’m not even Christian and that class is required, for whatever’s sake.</p>
<p>Maybe but it’s my lowest grade and it’s kind of annoying. Plus no matter what I do I can’t get her to give me higher grades on my projects.</p>
<p>I’d also drop English (hell, all my classes, for that matter). I think it’s one of the most useless classes ever, and don’t know why all 4 years is required to “graduate”. I speak it fluently. I can read. I can write. </p>
<p>It’s really boring, I’ve already read one entire novel for the class this year, in addition to six short stories. Not one. Not two. Six.</p>
<p>So much reading required, boring, can’t pay attention. x.X</p>
<p>I’d drop nrmal history and switch in honors this second if I could, but alas, scheule conflicts suck. </p>
<p>I hate that class. So many people who know nothing and don’t care that they know nothing in one room. It’s horriible.</p>
<p>“I didn’t know that there were 13 original colonies, wiat what does original mean?” (No exaggeration. Actually happened.)</p>
<p>@ Invoyable: Imagine the pain you’d go through as a junior or senior. (I assume you’re a freshman by your reading load.)</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore, and we’ve read two and a half novels of literary merit, with some poetry analysis sprinkled in.</p>
<p>Lol, I remember last year in AP Lang, we had to read 3-4 short stories (/articles/speeches/whateverelsehecouldthrowatus – usually 15-20 printer pages a pop though) a week, which we would then be quizzed on through an in class essay and then orally (by discussions), and write maybe a short essay a week, and a long one every two weeks, and read a full novel every 3 weeks or so.</p>
<p>Lol, the read 1-2 novels a week format of my current English class is WAAAAAY easier by comparison.</p>
<p>
I’m a sophomore. And we read a couple other stuff and etc, but uh, it’s just that I don’t like reading - nowadays I’m actually reading like 1 book per 2 months ish, but like freshman year/middle school I read a total of like 3~5 in all of total.</p>
<p>
LOL, yeah basically everyone said the same thing… he really just couldn’t teach. I, of course, being my usual stupidly stubborn self, insisted that I would NOT self-study anything, take the exam cold [haha, cold, as in, still knowing next to nothing even after taking the course], and just see what I’d get - I ended up pulling out with a 3, amazingly enough, and I was happily surprised. Highest score of anyone in all of the guy’s classes, lol, so not too shabby. Esp. since half the other people took it upon themselves to self-study… uwlkef. haha.</p>
<p>Pulling a 3 on the AP exam without knowing much of the material? I assume your previous Physics class was decent enough. I wish I could do that.
Invoyable is a sophomore? I thought he was a senior, or at least, a junior.</p>
<p>Oh, I hadn’t had a previous Physics class - at our school, the scheduling is really kind of stupid since we dont’ have block scheduling, so we only take 6 classes a year, and most are silly required ones - SO I never had like… honors physics or something to prep for AP physics. Dunno how I pulled off a 3 - the only thing I can imagine is that I aced alllll of the electrical bits, since my dad is an electrical engineer and i’ve been exposed to that kind of stuff like my whole life, haha.</p>
<p>Bahahahha YES invoyable is a sophomore, UNLESS he’s actually the same person as Moodrets/doomster, in which case he’s either a senior or a really old man. Confusing. lol.
Bleh, I seeeriously need to go to sleep, haha I have to wake up in 5 hours.</p>
<p>Pre-ap chem is awful, I really despise chemistry. I would also love to drop pre-ap geometry and not have to take another math class again, but I’ll push on. If I did drop those 2 I would replace pre-ap chem with honors anatomy and physiology (only open to juniors/seniors though, so I couldn’t…) and I would replace pre-ap geometry with AP physchology and a philosophy class at the local community college. </p>
<p>I started this year off pretty terrible and will probably pull this semester out with a 3.5 UW GPA, maybe a 3.75. I’ll have to push hard either way though. Next semester i’m going to have to go insane and try to make 95+ in all my classes, so even if I don’t do well on the exam i’ll still end up w/ a 4.0 gpa.</p>
<p>Meh, English isn’t too bad. So far the load has been pretty light, i’ve had to read 1984, the bluest eye, and a book by cormac mccarthy. </p>
<p>I just got raped in Ap world by a DBQ, got a 3 on it… I was absent the day we talked about how we write a quality DBQ…</p>
<p>I would either drop PE or AP Physics BC for AP Stats…</p>
<p>Anatomy is not a very easy class in my school. I took it as a sophomore though.</p>
<p>I don’t know about dropping (I seriously like most of my classes, and I think the others ones are useful, at least), but considering how much of what’s going on in the country I don’t understand I’d add AP Econ.</p>
<p>I like all my classes, the most difficult is actually an elective, but its only cause the way the teacher doesn’t teach. Contemporary Literature.</p>
<p>I got a B+ first Quarter.</p>
<p>Latin 4 is unbearable. It is almost unbelievable how boring translating/analyzing ancient latin literature truly is.</p>
<p>I would drop Advanced Drawing. I’m going to come next semester, haha. I can’t draw; I chose it because my friends were in that class and I thought it would be a good break from my AP classes. Bad choice. Now, one of my friends and I are not friends anymore and it makes the class a little awkward.</p>
<p>As for the class I would add, I would most likely add Theatre. I wish I had taken it before.</p>
<p>Anatomy is f’ing impossible and I’d do anything do get out of it.</p>
<p>It’s THE hardest class that ANY high school has, anywhere, hands down.</p>
<p>ap stat hands down
math was my fav class throughout my childhood. ap stat sounded awesome, but the pace we learn at is painfully slow. i feel like dying. the class is composed of like 1/3 kids like me, and 2/3 kids who are average. we play calc games, but she catches us a lot even tho we ace the tests without studying and everyone else gets Bs and lower. i’ve got the highest grade in the class, but it’s so boring that i’d definitely drop it for free time instead.
the assignments we get are pretty much busy work, not even real learning. and our teacher’s crazy
meanwhile in calc III, we learn quicker than average. in ap stat, i’ve only taken 2 pages of notes so far. calc III i have like 20. (i can only imagine non-ap level stat, oh god…)</p>
<p>i wish i coulda taken another language, because theyre cool. i take french, and it’s so fun. maybe latin cuz it helps a lot with english, or something</p>
