I'm a bit confused too really... surely to be able to do the rest of the HL maths course you need a good standard of algebra, to an extent anyway?!

I seem to the opposite to most people! I like regional geography! Most of my regions are similar anyway so I can just learn a couple of headings and then adjust the examples to fit whatever region! Don't particularly like physical though...

That's what my teacher always says too, but I just can't do algebra... Always fail algebra tests but get Bs in everything else

Well I suppose you'll be fine in the real thing then, you can just leave out the two algebra questions, and fly through the rest!

Oh I just remembered that I don't like management/leadership in business. Sooo long! It's not even that it's hard, I just remember it going on forever and ever!

err..

French, all...
Applied , all..i can't understand it

Maths, straight lines and transformations, and algebra( sometimes)
business, community development, and the EU section

Maths- trigonometry is like being in the Bermuda triangle - lost and suicidal

English- comparative essay

History- anything in between the Big Bang and 2008

Biology- the Scientific Method... seriously??

Art- Bronze & Iron Age..?

German- hmm...

Chemistry- if I hear anything remotely related to organic chem my head will explode:)

For some reason i just hate the Irish part on the course its just beyond boring to me and doesnt interest me like European and American history for some reason its just all really flawed and i mean really flawed logic with ridiculously stupid ideas!

Piste

Maths: The binomial theorem and those things with lots of n!s in them. It's pretty sneaky, using ! to try and make maths seem more exciting.

English: I really like English, but I guess my least favourite section would be paper one as you can't really prepare it before hand so it really comes down to the day of the exam.

Irish: Some of the poetry is a bit dire, you can tell they were just trying to find any Irish poetry when they stuck it on. We haven't done dírbheathaithneas (or however it's spelled) yet but I suspect I wont like it.

Biology: Anything to do with ecology, dear god, how boring.

Chemistry: Not so keen on the first part of the course, all the atomic theory stuff is a bit boring, as is thermochemistry.

Music: I hate composing. Harmony is alright, but melody writing is soooo bad.

French: The worst for me would have to be the oral and the aural, I tend to confuse myself a lot when I speak.

German: Some of the written can be a bit dodgy as my grammar and spelling does be all over the shop.

I thought from my memory you were doing the drama An Triail in Irish. Im doing the direbeathaisneas A thig na Thit Orm.

You dont like Hess's law? I love the feeling of just crossing the compounds out!:)

Piste

Yeah the equations are easy enough to do, it's just a bit boring! Do we not have to study the history of some Irish writers aside from stái litríocht na Gaeilge? If not, happy days!

Maths: Differentiation by parts. The only part of the Maths course that I've come across so far that I've no cluer what to do.
English: Poetry in general. Only poet I'm able to write a book about is Derek Mahon. The rest them are just, ugh!
Irish: Scothscéalta. I absolutely hate them. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them! Why couldn't we do A Thig Ná Tit Orm or An Triail??
German: Those bloody dialogues! I do OL and they're very very complicated!
Geography: Nothing really, drawing out the outlines of the countries probably. I really don't see the point in doing that whatsoever.
Chemistry: Atomic Theory. So bloody boring.
Accounting: Interpretation of Accounts. Too many formulas to learn off and those reports are chores as well.

ironictoaster

Maths - There can't be a worst section is maths, it's too good.
Irish - Everything
English - Poetry, I just don't get it. Why can't they just say what they mean.
French - Oral/Listening
Physics - Mirrors, easy but boring.
Chemistry - Is all equally interesting, there's no worst section.
History - I like all of it.
Applied Maths - See maths.

To the people saying they hate Adrienne Rich... for all her weirdly militant lesbian feminist ways, she's really easy to talk about because there's so much in her poetry... They're just all about society. Commence intelligent-sounding waffle.

Piste - yes, melody writing is SATAN. It's basically what's putting me off doing grade 8 music theory... you have to write some hideous, hideous things. Harmony is like a fun puzzle, though.

I always hated probability in maths. Okay, it wasn't too hard, but it was just so messy. The less English in my maths problem, the better, thank you.

Oh, and the bit on the French paper where you have to write something in English. What a ridiculous and often stupid question. Sometimes laughably easy, sometimes essentially unanswerable.

Piste

Oh yeah, those question 5s are always a bitch!

Ordinary Irish - Words fail me when it comes to describing how shockingly bad this course is.

I actually cannot wait to put a lighter to my irish book after the LC.

An absolute disgrace of a subject.

Gloom

Art: Still life! I'm never in the mood to draw stiff life (I love life drawing) It's so boring.
Biology: MRNA and crap. I've gotten a lot better at crosses, just the whole protein synthesis bit.
Business: Just the vast amount needed to know.
History: 1921-1948! BORING STUFF. Dev sucks :pac:
Maths: Probability = lame.
English: I love english but my least favourite part is probably um the poetry question. My interpretations are usually weird or "out there". There has been many a time where I'd give my opinion on a line in class and everyone would be like ":eek: Did he just say that?"
Irish (last year when I did it): Tape! I have no attention span!
French: Same as irish. HATE THE TAPE SO MUCH.

cautioner

Maths - Differentiation is not my friend. Also, infuriatingly, the part c's of algebra almost constantly stump me.

Irish - I love speaking Irish but hate the class. Oh jesus the filiocht... When we first read Gealt? in class I couldn't believe it. Oooh, it's about prejudice and junk, oh go f*ck yourself.

Biology - Plants bore me.

Chemistry - Organic Chem confused the hell out of me at first, but with the help of grinds it's slowly beginning to click. Also, Bohr's spectra ****e.

French - I am so screwed for the oral. I used to be a right little francophone but somehow 4 successive Gaeltacht courses over the years have nudged all the french out of my head. I still quite often slip in the odd focal when I try and speak french.

Music - Melodies are the thorn in my side. According to my teacher, most people only get the hang of it around April or May though.

English - I'm on top of most things but I frequently write absolute drivel for the short story/essay. I'll never understand how people can write a well structured, interesting story pretty much off the top of their heads in an exam... bleh.

MOST DEFINATLY SEA CHANGES IN MUSIC...WORST THING IVE EVER SEEN/HEARD ON A SUBJECT COURSE!

KnockHoops

i failed my three opinion pieces in french in the christmas exams

Jay P

Geography: The part on migration. Bleugh.

Physics: I don't like electricity that much, but that's just cos I don't get it. PArticle physics though, I can't wait for that!

Irish: I don't like any of it

English: Love it all! Except Rich actually. Bleugh.

French: Oral.

Maths: What's not to love?! There's no better feeling than getting out an exam question!

Applied Maths: It's kinda hard. Nothing I don't like though.

Music: Harmonies.

Dubs

maths: coordinate geometry... cannot stand the stuff

Irish: listenning

English: MacBeth... i dont mind the story in general but i hate the language

Biology: lurve it

Geography: regional is a bit of a pain, but its all easy enough

Physics: electricity and lenses/mirrors are just so boring

French: dont mind it that much any more... it isnt too hard once you learn off the verbs

Chemistry: i have a deep hatred for Le Chatalier now

Fringe

Maths - The Circle: I actually hate this section so much. It's so stupid.
Also hate probability. Just don't like it and the worst is when they throw some really dodgy question at you.

Chemistry - Water: This is a really stupid section as well. Doesn't deal with the chemistry of water at all and just focuses on treating water and sewage.

Applied Maths - Relative Velocity: Just don't get it. It's too confusing trying to imagine.

Biology - Don't mind Ecology since it's so easy. You have to do so little study for it. I hate unit 3 though. It's just learning so many random processes and bores me so much.
