 Your favorite/least favorite subjects at school
I figure that many posters here still go to school/college/university and I don't remember this quation having been asked. But the question doesn't only goes for the current students, but also for those who have graduated years ago.
What are/were your favorite and least favorite subjects at school?
My favorites out of those I have at the moment:
1. English (one of my majors)
2. History
3. Latin
My least favorite (#1 being the worst):
1. Physics
2. Philosophy (even though interesting at times)
3. Math

I've always enjoyed math the most. Although often difficult, there's nothing like the relief you get when you solve a hard problem and know it's right.

Same here, studied some time ago... :wink: :wink: :wink:
High School (or Gymnasium, as it is still known back in Europe, my orientation was Math/Physics and Languages (Slovak, Russian, German)):
Loved:
Math (Easy & logical... As long as I paid attention in classes, never had to study math at home, really...)
Physics (Same as above, although I had to study a bit more for it...)
Geography (At least I know where my travelling bug is coming from...  )
History (Always fascinating...)
Physical Ed. (Who can hate classes without homework...)
Not my favorites, although I didn't really hate them:
Chemistry (Liked lab classes though...)
Biology (Too much 'dumb' memorization and too many latin words...)
Languages (I find it easier to learn languages in real environment, rather than in school...)
College (studied 'finance/intl.business'):
Loved:
American History
Art History (That's after my mom, who is an art teacher...)
Philosophy
Calculus
Econometrics
All advanced 'econ./finance/intl. business/business law' classes (I pretty much chose them myself, so how could I hate them... :wink: :wink: :wink: )
Not loved:
Dont' really remember, just because I had lot of freedom in selecting and structuring my studies... and even the most hateful classes were taught by good professors, lessening "struggle" to stay interested... :wink:
Oh, there was one I really hated: "Business Ethics" What an oxymoron...
EDIT: Damn spelling, still didn't install my spell-checker for Mozilla...

I basically hate everything I need to calculate anything in so:
Chemistry, Physics and Math, hehe.
However, I was the best in my Chemistry class and finished it with an A. How? I have no clue. All I know is that I have never understood Chemistry.
Social Science is a subject I really despise because of HOW the teacher teaches us, but as a matter of fact, it is probably the most useful subject I have at school right now. It really helps in conversations in your life hehe (and here on the boards with Krem). Aside from that I am pretty good at it, but it can get very frustrating at times.
A subject that I loved, but don't have anymore is Literature (which basically meant Theatre).

I've got a love/hate relationship with psychology. It intrigues me and I seem to like it but there is so much work to it.

That's actually a favorite class? Gym was always just a way to waste time for me and my friends, it's not like I really enjoyed it.
