<p>Are you guys picking your courses for next year?</p>
<p>I really want to take Writer's Craft, but then it doesn't sound all that "rigorous" = =</p>
<p>What are you guys taking in grade 12?</p>
<p>I don’t understand why you care whether the course is “rigorous” if the syllabus interests you. I also don’t understand what you mean by “rigorous” in the context of a writing course, or how you would even measure it. Pages of readings assigned per week? Number of essays assigned a month? Why would any of this matter?</p>
<p>But anyway…</p>
<p>I took the following courses:</p>
<p>English (U)
Core French (U)
Religion (O)
World History (U)
Economics (U)
Calculus and Vectors (U)
Music (O)
Biology (U)</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what you take as long as they’re mostly U courses and you do well in them.</p>
<p>If it interests you, take it. </p>
<p>My courses are:
English (U)
Literature Studies (U)
11 Economics (U)
12 Economics (U)
Biology (U)
Physics (U)
Chemistry (U)
Studies in Science (M)</p>
<p>Everything is IB except Bio =/.</p>
<p>Writer’s Craft is a U course at our school. Take it if you like it. I would if I were interested in it. It’s not like its an O course or anything. Also, the writing practice may come in handy while in uni. and you need to write a lot.</p>
<p>I’m taking:
-Advanced Functions - UN
-Calc. & Vectors - UN
-English - UN
-Bio - UN
-Chem - UN
-Physics - UN
-Data Management - U
-Business Leadership - M</p>
<p>(i will probably not be able to get all those UN courses because of scheduling. So, I’m gonna end up making to take a couple UN courses as U)</p>
<p>Woah no need to get all worked up, Mustafah…I am taking it because I’m really interested, I’m just curious as to what you people think.
My school sees it as a “hard” course while a friend of mine’s school sees it as the “slacker” course. So I’m wondering how other schools define it.
And yes “rigorous-ness” matters because it’s like one of the top judging factors for a lot of unis.</p>
<p>Why do ppl have to sound like they are responding to stupid chance posts everytime a question about opinions is raised?</p>
<p>panda, mustafah is just sharing his advice (like u asked him to) which is to take whatever course u enjoy. i agree with this since its much much easier to achieve high grades in courses u actually like.</p>
<p>my courses:
eng IB HL
history IB HL
french IB
math IB
Bio IB HL
Physics IB HL
chem IB
world literature
international politics
theory of knowledge</p>
<p>at our school I believe Writers Craft is an easy course, because our English dept. marks easily. However, at others schools it may be difficult due to marking. Since it is a U Englsih course, I’d think uni’s would definitely consider it to be a rigorous compository english course</p>
<p>I’m taking these courses this year: </p>
<p>World History (U)
Computer Science (U)
World Issues (U)
English (U)</p>
<p>Writer’s Craft (U)
World Geography (C)
Business Leadership (M)
Canadian History, 12 (U)</p>
<p>I adore Writer’s craft. I agree that it doesn’t matter if it’s rigorous or not…really it depends on the teacher. The teacher who taught it at my school last semester was too rigorous and a lot of people failed because of it, but the teacher who teaches it now is very relaxed about it. Take it if it interests you, it’s a U course. Do well in it, even if it’s easy and reap the average benefits.</p>
<p>writer’s craft you either love or hate. you ahve to be very extraverted and willing to totally ‘let go’ i guess, it’s not just writing but a lot of presentations etc…</p>
<p>^sounds funn
xD</p>
