What Classes are you taking this year?
 
I got my classes a couple of days ago.

My 10th grade classes:

Algebra IIE (Honors)
PE
Spanish II
Contest Speech
English 10 (Honors)
Ap European History

So what grade are you in, and what classes are you taking?

For those of you out of school, what classes were your favorites?

TheDom 08.28.2006 08:12 PM

I'm in 9th

Business Law
Debate (blows)
Recreation aka play card games for an hour (haha it counts as a PE credit)
Geometry (Honors)
English Honors
and some Science class

acousticrock87 08.28.2006 08:14 PM

College Sophomore, first semester:

Intro to Lit.
Japanese
Biology (+Lab)
New Testament
Psychology

I like classes that inform about very specific times or cultures. I'm trying to get every general education class out of the way ASAP, though. The only non-GE I've taken so far was Greco-Roman History, because it was a one-time offer and counted for my history major. I've since backed away from that due to career limitations, but hopefully I'll major in writing/journalism so I can still go that direction with a more general focus. Once I figure out what I can do, I'll go for a higher degree in a specific subject.

Wha?

I didn't have Business Law available...but I wouldn't have taken it.

Debate can be fun, man.

TheDom 08.28.2006 08:22 PM

I'm not even joking. It is more for disabled kids who cant do physical stuff, but its open to anybody.

BL was only available for 10-12 but they let me in anyway. Not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

and so far, Debate blows. I've had to give a speech on ebonics and read text books on how to debate. booooooooring

I split it up into 3 parts: The History of Ebonics - The Use of Ebonics - Ebonics & You.

Alex's Trip 08.28.2006 08:28 PM

You should have given the speech in ebonics.

acousticrock87 08.28.2006 08:28 PM

Are you white? That would be even better. If you gotta give a speech, it's good to have a topic that naturally lends itself to humor.

Hooked on Ebonics

TheDom 08.28.2006 08:29 PM

haha, yes I am white.

I said most of the Use of Ebonics part in ebonics (and basically made that whole part up as I went along)

Alex's Trip 08.28.2006 08:30 PM

Do you have it written down? I wanna see it!

TheDom 08.28.2006 08:32 PM

naw, I had it on note cards that I had to turn in.

for the most part I just had "talk about such and such" and I just made it up as I went along

I think that's about the best possible high school lineup. I love every class on there (though I don't know enough about astronomy to like it, but it's always sounded fun.) Nice. I really want to take an electronics class.

nomadicfollower 08.28.2006 09:37 PM

So far I hate it.
I have a terrible teacher, for one thing, and all we've really studied (for the two weeks I've been in school) is dimensional analysis, which could be covered in one or two days.
I hope it gets better soon.

The only class I really like this semester is French.

I figure that I'll get the theology, science, and math credits over with as soon as possible, so that maybe by next year I can take the classes that I have more of an interest in.

prisstina- damn, i want study hall. i kinda have one, we call it lunch, but still.

golden child- it's ok so far.

Cantankerous 08.29.2006 11:08 PM

study hall was the best thing ever. usually it meant i just left.

k-krack 08.29.2006 11:10 PM

i don't know if i would like a study hall. i mean.. i don't like school and shit, but a) i am too young to be allowed to leave the school during school hours aside from lunch, so it would be hella boring, and i hate when the teacher isn't in and i gotta just sit in the caf for 75 minutes or whatever. boring, boring, boring, boring, boring!

static-harmony 08.29.2006 11:22 PM

what if your teacher is not in you don't get a substitue?
