Math. It was the least effort to success ratio.
Like, history? I’m not reading all that shit, writing paragraphs out for you. Ugh.
Math: all angles of a (euclidian) triangle add to 180. One is 120. One is 30. One is x. What is x? 😎 really? That’s the lesson, just like 45 different ways? Ok. Ez.
I enjoyed math but always did terribly because I just didn’t have the time to put into it along with all the other subjects. Teachers assigned way too much homework so by the time I got around to math I struggled to really learn the concepts.
Haven’t you made it past primary school yet?
Is this your way of saying you failed Differential Equations in college?
😢 that’s the easy stuff it gets harder
No it doesn’t, you’re just bad at it.
I think you responded to the wrong guy
I did not.
My bad, what you wrote and quoted made no sense to me as a response to my comment or the one I responded to.
You suggested I hadn’t made it out of primary school yet, presumably because my math example was a trig/algebra example.
This came off as gloating over your own math skills.
I let you know it came off as immature by asking you if that was your way of telling us that you had failed more difficult math classes, like diff eqs.
I then closed by letting you know that not only am I beyond primary school, I found a notoriously difficult math curriculum (again, diff eqs) to be just as easy as the trig/calc that made me fall for math in then first place.
Finally, I suggested that all math is easy if you’re good at math, and that if you found something in math challenging, it’d be because you personally struggled with it and not because it didn’t make perfect sense, to tie the whole point together.
Hope this helps.
Is recess a subject?
History, which I later went on to get my degrees in. As for why, I believe it was 100% due to how awesome my APUSH history teacher was in high school
Up through high school it was math, I’m good at it and it’s all about figuring out rules rather than memorizing facts. If you were good enough at math in my school you never had to study material like you did with history or english readings, and there is a strong satisfaction to truly understanding the rules that our universe operates by. In the later years of high school I also got to try programming classes, which helped lead me to where I am today.
Lunch!
History, one of two teachers I got that wasn’t a total asshole and he was cool, Mr Wilkens. " And “Values and standards” (don’t know how to translate it differently, we had it instead of religion), the teacher was the other human being in our school. All other teachers were sick nutcases and / or simply assholes. RIP Mr Lehrke, the small grey guy who talked with me for hours about kabbalah, mysticism and all that other stuff I was into. And he liked the cheap discount beer, like me :) He was the reason I went to University. Solely.
Design tech. Making stuff using power tools
I had a new robotics course when I was in school . At that point I had already been doing alot with a after school robotics club . So I was basically allowed to do what ever I wanted I’m that class .
English isn’t the native language where I’m from so I liked English classes the most. It was fun flexing my English skills to others that couldn’t speak it very well.
Spanish. At first I disliked being forced to learn another language but then I became good at it; I’ve picked up a few more languages since then.
Math, because I’m good at it
Physics, biology(until we got to cells and I lost track) and theatre.
The last one was nice because I got to let loose and be myself ironically enough :)Information and Technology lol. You’d think I’d take a major in computer science, right? But I actually despised math so I went to art school instead. Though I must say I feel like I didn’t like math because I suspect that I have what is basically mild dyscalculia (undiagnosed), for lack of a better term, and I’m learning some coping skills.
In college I took a 2D animation class. It wasn’t really part of my major but it counted towards my graduation requirements. By that time, I had already made a few flash animations for Newgrounds so I went in with some experience and just had blast. Apparently the faculty had some sort of show and tell meeting and one of my other professors came up to me one day to say she enjoyed it.
This is what people don’t understand about electives in college. They think they are just bullshit courses that are a waste of time. You should go into picking an elective as a way to relax, learn something about a subject you are interested in but might not be all that knowledgeable about. You might come out of it with a new hobby or interest you want to pursue further. Maybe people more two dimensional.
Math. The problems are hard but if you know math, you can do lots of stuff with it. Though I can’t say I am good at memorizing formulas.
