Title: Your favorite current class in school
Post by: Samus Aran on November 06, 2008, 12:23:25 AM
Mine is a tie between my History of Rock n' Roll and Writing Poetry classes. The first one is strictly a lecture course and we learn about...well, the history or rock. It's great. Especially since we spent so long on Bob Dylan and The Beatles.

My poetry class is extremely laid-back. The professor doesn't really have any major requirements, just a rough estimate of how many poems we should at least have revised by the end of the course. He doesn't seem to care if we show up much either, which is common for large classes but less so for a class as small as this one (around 12 students). And, hey, writing poetry is my thing, so of course I love being able to get school credit off of it.

French and American history are probably my best classes.  And my chemistry teacher is really weird, but she's a pretty good teacher.


Even though I'm not overly fond with the English course for juniors, my teacher is interesting when she's in a good mood and she gets side tracked rather easily.  I'd say she starts talking about sex at least twice a week.

Probably that.

No one else I know seems to enjoy those classes, though.  :(

AP Calculus.
I hardly study for the tests, and still manage to get As in that class. ;_;
Most of the kids struggle with the trigonometry. Nice example: sin(x)=1/2

My Chem class is fun enough, my teacher's hilarious and laid back, we do a lot of great demos, I like the subject matter, and supposedly I'm one of the best students in my grade, but chem also kind of bores me too. It's alright, though. I struggle in US History sometimes because the reading takes a while, but the classes are beautifully Socratic and it's a lot of fun to work out complex problems. Occasionally we just say "fuckit" and spend the class on youtube, but we're still productive.

My English and Calc classes both go through my favorite subjects and we're studying amazingly cool material, but my teacher's suck and so I hate it. My English teacher has no sense of rigor, has a fake-Socratic bent, wastes valuable time on redundant in-class readings, gives us the major themes without establishing them properly (he started out My Antonia by giving us a list of paper topics), and we do absolutely NO regular weekly writing. My calc teacher probably has aspergers (probably) and is kind of a mess, even though he's also brilliant in a few respects, and he can be taken easily to these stupid and endless tangents which demonstrate that he's also a misogynist.

My French teacher is wonderful, and I like French, but the coursework is so difficult that I can't say I love the class. He hit me today.  >.<

I also run two of our student organizations, the environmental group and the jazz band. At least we get shit done in the jazz band, even if we don't meet often enough to play anything difficult. The environmental group is a joke and nobody listens to me, and I've never had to really independently manage people before because the faculty advisor is useless, except when he thinks something is important and then he lectures me endlessly about doing it.

Wow...I never realized that my school life sucked so much.  O_0

I feel the same way, though I need 1.5 credits of 'fine arts' but I really don't know what to take.  The only classes I know are either drama or just plain art.

My computer science course is great. I decided to take an advanced course, so I have a really good professor and we cover some really interesting material that I don't think the other classes get to see. During a couple of our tutorial sessions he decided to teach us about lambda calculus just for fun.

I really like my algebra course, too. We mostly just sit there and watch the professor prove random theorems for an hour. I think tomorrow we're studying RSA encryption, which should be good.

Physics is interesting but it's definitely the hardest course for me right now. I know I'm not the only one struggling, though, because the class average on the midterm was 59%.

My classes suck. Next semester's will too. I guess Psychology is the best I have now, but I wouldn't say I'm excited to show up in that class each day. Maybe French since it's so easy, I don't know.

English and Chemistry.
My Spanish class is fun, but only because the teacher has no control. My Geometry class is alright, it's a little hard, though.

Calculus AP, because it's amusing to see the reactions on the 12th graders' faces when they see a 9th grader in their class.

Web Design, because I love being surrounded by computers

Lunch, because it is considered a "class" in our school
