I'd rather logically figure out the solutions to Math questions, then sit down memorizing stuff like World War Dates. :/; Trigonometry terrifies me. Everything else that revolves around Math, I think I'm pretty good at. For subjects like sociology, I'd write down on the basis of things I've understood. Math may get on my nerves sometimes when I can't figure out why angle AXB is equal to angle ABX, but I don't fully despise it. As for how it'll help me out in my life... I'll see someday.

I used to be good at math until about halfway through college. Nowadays there's too many formulas to memorize. I have a hard time with memorizing stuff, especially for tests.
And I never saw the purpose of solely reading literature in English class. I'd like to know how some old book written in the 1800s is going to help me in my life. |
I hate math, but I am good at it.
I am good at all subjects. My favorite is Socail Studies because studying all the wars. |
I only have real problems with German. I also hate Geography and History, but I'm actually good at them.
I'm pretty good at every subjects but German, especially Science and Maths. |
I can tell you a thousand ways knowing basic math will help you in real life. One of the most important applications is in doing taxes.
|
Knowing how not to piss one's self in public isn't a necessary skill, but it helps in life to have learned it. Just the same math assists for those in fields were math is necessary.

It suprises me how so many people despise math and history.
Beautiful, math is simply beautiful. I mean, carry out an equation. Try to figure it out for yourself, really try. It's hard, you feel like giving up, but then there's that single ray of hope. What's this? Why haven't I tried applying this theory? And then bam, you've got the answer. Don't tell me that you're not satisfied. Don't tell me that the long equation you just wrote out on that piece of paper doesn't look like the best of poetry. Because I feel that way. It's the feeling of power. Don't let it go to waste. As for history: cause and effect is what's important. Learning dates... useless. History's similar to math in that some things just seem to fit while others just elude your grasp. Add in that human factor and you've got a sociological science right there, trying to fiure out what possible motive figure so and so had for doing what zhe did. If not figuring things out, just learning of the rise and fall of great people and nations is enough. Adapt their methods. Don't fall prey to their mistakes. Niccolo Machiavelli ftw. Nuff said. |
I like maths and Science, but I absolutely hate History, it's really boring IMO.
I am good at lots of subjects. Media and English are the only subjects I'm not good at. XP |

Good luck on your English and Sociology assignments... I tend to procrastinate a lot, but only to the point where I'd have one essay due at the last minute, not THREE. >_> Quote:

And honestly, longer problems should be worth more points! "1+2" should not be worth the same amount of points as finding the derivative and integral of "(x^2.5+(46/x)*e)^(1/5)"! I like history because date memorization is an easier task. However, I only think learning about positively influential people of the past is needed, rather than having students trying to figure out the motives behind idiots such as Hitler, Stalin, and Saddam Hussein who only wish for power and the death of others. I sympathize and offer condolences to the millions of people who were unjustly oppressed and affected by those regimes, but I really don't give a crap about those individual dictators who "fell prey" to corruption and stuff. Yes, "those who don't learn their history may be bound to repeat it" (it's not a "definite/destined" occurrence like the original quote implies; there is such a thing as common sense these days), but I would assume that most people wouldn't bother doing/repeating the borderline insane things those dictators did - persuading masses that the massacring of others benefits you in the long run..? If someone want to figure out the "motives" behind such rulers and stuff, they can knock yourself, but such a learning requirement shouldn't be imposed on EVERYONE. And as long as there's a modern "incentive" to be corrupt, unfortunately, government corruption will likely occur for quite some time to come, so learning about history really won't do anything to fix the problem much if it perpetuates even today... And learning how some obscure person wrote some random politically-fueled book in the past will not help me care for the people living today right now! Quote:
Additional comment about English classes: Analyzing how Hamlet is "supposedly clever" (yeah right :P) or how the red statue represents wars gone by will not help me in the medical field either! Analyzing literature is OK and stuff, but there are things that should be prioritized above that! Learning how some random lady constantly annoyingly flirts with two other male suitors in an epistolary novel in the 1700s will not help me to make advances in the medical field, nor will it help me properly catch Pokeymanz or beat Dragon Tamer Nicholas! Gah...I hate English's "interpretative" nature as well. Since essentially nothing is "absolute", your grades can be profoundly affected simply by the person grading your paper or other literary assignments! I love learning science, particularly biology and physics which have not proven to be excessively difficult for me (chemistry is interesting, but the math and tedious processes bogs down my enjoyability of it). Biology will actually benefit me in the medical field, and physics also plays a role in medicinal studies, not to help that it can actually help out in shonen fights and stuff in anime. ;) Frequently, I want to yell at the science of nursing, because several stuff in there connects to things (i.e., two things in entirely different body systems) that you wouldn't even think are related to each other in the first place! :cer_pissed: ----------------- Tl;dr: Calculus is the bane of my academic career and my mortal nemesis with its difficulties; muscles make me cry; dictators suck A LOT and I shouldn't have to learn about them when I could be helping people or playing Pokemon; students shouldn't be forced to "being open to other cultures" for diversity's sake; history is unnecessary for the most part unless it's about good pplz; I interpret English to typically be a bore; science has the potential to be awesome but chemistry and nursing make it suckish; Pokemon is awesome. |
My Portuguese classes are hell (come on, how the hell will knowing every.single.detail. about poems and books written 500 years ago help me in life?!). Any subject that is not science-related has always been a pain in the ass to me (except P.E.)
Math is something I'm actually good at, along with Physics. About Biology... it's not that it's that hard to understand but I just don't like it. |
I'm good at Geometry, History, English, and Biology. (Hate all maths, though. Geometry included.)
I suck at Algebra and Latin. |
Math. I purposely fail that subject if I can. I just hate Math. Yes, I am good at it but it still is hard. Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry..it just makes me think too much. When I think too much, my head hurts and sometimes, I even faint. @[email protected]
|
I use Math everyday.
I use Chemistry even more. We learned a type of problem in Chemistry (box problems) that can basically be applied to anything. YAY MATH! |
Until like 9th grade I was good at Mathematics, and then I hit a wall (boom!) :( Geometry massacred me, and now I'm stuck with a B- in Math Analysis CP (ugh).
Chemistry AP, however, is the most hellish class imaginable. i would only recommend it as a torture for the worst of criminals. |

I dislike learning humanities, much like Feynman. Biology hurts too. The lack of numbers makes me disinterested. I love Maths, Physics and Chemistry (Maths most among them). I'll leave you with this quotation from Carl Sagan, in his book "Billions and Billions": "If you know a thing only qualitatively, you know it no more than vaguely. If you know it quantitatively - grasping some numerical measure that distinguishes it from an infinite number of other possibilities - you are beginning to know it deeply." |
Religion is my biggest area of failure. People say it's easy, all opinionating, but I don't have an opinion on any matters brought up and often find the questions confusing. Perhaps if someone had explained to me how I'm generally expected to answer, I could've done a bit better, but I could still never answer "do you agree?".

Do you have difficulties learning on subjects and/or part of a subject?
Yup, Maths and to be honest I've never liked maths at all because it's so difficult. Even though it's hard for you to learn on that subject do you still study on it or just continue procrastinating? I don't take maths or learn maths as a subject anymore because I've already passed it and I don't really like it, but meh. Will you stop being a nerd? No way |
