If there was one class you didn't have to take?

If there was one class in college or high school that you did not have to take what would it be. I really hated differental calculus. I really struggled through that one. What about you?

Physical education classes. I hated PE. I am not good runner or jumper or....or...or... Hey, I like sports, but at my own choice.... PE was the worst...

Hah, of all things I wouldn't think you would have said PE. So being someone who is fit... is it that the PE system is not designed properly or is there another reason that you struggled through it?

That's an easy one! I would definitely say History. Any History: American, Psychology (I'm taking it now) or whatever. I've always heard that history repeats itself but I develop ADD when it comes to studying it. No matter how hard I try I can not stay focused for more than a few minutes at a time.

History is one of those subjects where you either know it or you don't. It is very difficult to take a test and guess at a history answer.

At school I absolutely HATED science with a passion. It was made up of Chemistry, Physics and Biology in the national curriculum in the third year we had to take one of the three it was compulsory! I wanted to drop them all but I wasn't allowed to, so I chose the lesser of the three evils, biology, I would definitely NOT want to take that, I don't know how but I passed the exam because I didn't care for it or enjoy it.

It's not whether you enjoy it or not it's whether you pass the exam or not! Heh I wasn't all that into biology other than the fact I was so curious that it kept me ½ interested in what was going on.

didn't take differental calculus, heck, I had to be tutored thru algebra... but I did manage that to get that class, what I flunked was forign language thru my educational process I tried Spanish (before it was a gradeable class,) dropped German, flunked Latin & dropped French in college. NONE of them made sense to me - the best I ever did in a language other than English was with sign language.

Spanish, Fench, Latin... all come from Latin. If one makes sense they all make sense (that includes Italian and Portuguese as well). German is so tough but, is where English comes from (Ancient Germanic). The thing with German is they have so many words for the word 'the'. I've never tried to learn Sign Language... I'll have to do that.

Heh, if you think macroeconomics is bad just wait until you get to microeconomics. At least with macro you see the world economy in micro you are talking specifics... I was bored out of my head.

I agree with you calculus is terrible. I am actually taking that class right now at college. We have to take all of our math exams and quizzes online. We also learn through lesson pages and practice problems online. The only good thing about an entire online class is the ability to work at your own pace and the fact that all the tests are multiple choice. Anyway, anything that invoolves math--hate it.
