Your Worst Subject


Survivor Rob

Recommended Posts

Third language?! They didn't let you take it as B or A2? Poor you!

I agree with you regarding math - just that it takes a more specialised career (engineering, for example) to find use in this 'complex' math. Definitely, though, I use it every day (can't say I'm a fan of whipping out a calculator in the supermarket que!)

Maths - Doin Maths Methods and plan to go ahead with Maths HL soon

The only reason i'm doing it is cuz i plan to pursue Engineering in the future.

Otherwise would've dropped it sooo long ago!

i've never been really good at English, but i took HL nonetheless.

Our school doesn't have such a gigantic ib program, otherwise I would have taken math HL if we had it..sigh

All the other HL subjects are not for me. I really got pissed at our grade 11s this year, they get psy SL and HL, and our ib coordinator is teaching it....grrrr..so unfair

french by far take's the worst subject for me. By june last year, the first half of every class was our teacher yelling at us about how bad we all were, and how none of us was doing any homework, and how we were all going to fail our the ib french exams and how we deserved it because we were all so lazy and incapable... it wasn't a fun month, to say it lightly. But this year, she's been fairly calm because half the class dropped (from 30 to 14). So i'm just going to hope we get to may without any more confidence-shattering periods of emotional outbursts. Oh, and I find french to be my hardest course ( even though it's sl, i have a horrible memory when it comes to vocabulary)

haha..seriously..she doesn't know how to teach us, even though she's fluent in french, she made french one of my favorite subjects to some of the worst ones..the thing with Eng HL, we actually do stuff as opposed to doing nothing except going over exercises...we really don't learn anything, nor do we develop any skills in french...and I really don't like class where I can just fall asleep, why do I still have to GO to a class anyways...

Well i thought seeming as there is a best subject thread, we should have a worst subject thread!

:0

Well I know its annoying but everyone must have a subject they hate/are bad at?

My worst subject has to be French, but i'm getting better all the time! :D Or so my teacher says ^_^

I really do think i am in reach of a 6 now...yay!

I just need to concentrate on the other 5 subjects now too.....

Chemistry and History

Chemistry = I'm blaming the teacher. she always contradicts the textbook and confuses all of us!

History = my teacher hates the way I write my essays,a nd says that my structure is messed up and that I should talk to my english teacher for advice.

My english grades by the way, are totally fine.grrrrr

gotta learn how to cope with these people (they might be saying the same thing about me too tho lol)

geograhy SL and ToK. actually, my attitude to a subject depends on the way it is taught. our geography and tok teachers are everything but competent. I think I could like both subjects under other circumstances... :P

Don't let your teacher dictate your mark - succeed anyhow!

If you've got an IB textbook, that certainly helps. Otherwise, just use the IB Syllabus for Geography.

For TOK, you might want to look in the TOK section here for tips. Some of your texts may have a 'TOK Section' if they are specifically for the IB course, which could help you in the long run.

don't worry - i'm doing fine :P for geography, I'm completely relying on the textbook (I actually think I understand more of it than the teacher, but that's life :P ) and I already had a look at the Tok-section of this page... to be honest that's how I found my way to this forum :P

language in general. let's face it, we can't truly learn it unless we live in the environment

idk what i'm making in French now

as for English, i ought to be satisfied w/ my current average [from a 45 to a 78]. for the first essay, our teacher takes of 10 points for a passive voice, -40 for no thesis...harsh, but she's a good teacher [not to mention nice]

i'm hanging in there. :wub:

so yeah, language is killer. doing both SL this year
