Is it the teachers, the subject, the time of day, or something else? Tell me what makes your least favorite class so boring.
My least favorite is physics because my teachers a joke, he's cool but we do so poorly because he teaches us nothing, and physics is just a dull subject.

Thank you for answering the questions. My physics class is shortly after lunch so that makes it even more boring. No recess in high school :-(

This last semester my most boring class was museum business. It was boring because the Downtown campus spent the grant money we got from the Smithsonian to teach the class... so now they stuck us in with the regular business kids - and a business teacher. We learned absolutely nothing at all about museums. I didn't want to take a regular business class. I've already taken so many of those. And this guys voice was so boring. It was a 3 hour class every Fridays and it took all I had not to fall asleep. He taught it on a powerpoint and just read line for line. The power points came right from the book. His tests were TERRIBLE. Some questions were so ambiguous that it could have been any of three answers. Some tests the answer it should be wasn't even an option. He asked so many questions about the same thing that if you missed one, you missed them all. The only plus to all this is that if people contested it in class - or if a large percentage of the class missed the same question he would give us back points.

Wow this is a really good question! It's funny because physics is one of my favorite classes. It must be the teacher, because I don't think physics is dull at all. But my teacher is AMAZING. He has an AWESOME way of teaching things, and always does great demonstrations. I think the biggest thing is the teacher and how well they present the information. My least favorite class is chemistry because my teacher speaks in monotone and doesn't do anything interesting. I also think chemistry is a dull subject. I also hate math because my teacher does a horrible job of explaining things, and just makes it really confusing.

A subject becomes dull only if you want it to be. I used to hate math eventhough I'm doing well on it. I first blamed the teacher because he lectures us like a priest and there's no out-of-the-box approach to entice the students to at least perk their interest. I gave my ideas to my math teacher hoping to get my fellow classmates interested. In the end I just learned to live with it.
