Subjects you regret doing

PlayGirl

Ar they're any subjects you chose in 1st/4th year that you regret doing now ?

For me it's home economics! I hate it, it's boring, pointless and just boring!
Plus my teacher fills us with a load of information that we don't actually need to know - because she wants us to impress the examiner!

wish I did art instead, but I didn't want to pick it up in 5th year

Applied Maths. Im terrible at it but I've just been doing it too long to quit. Like I've dug a hole and the only way out is to keep digging until I reach the 25th June:D

Yes history especially. The course is so long to revise. And the teacher never repeats anything so it's in one ear and out the other.

For me it's business I loved it from first to third year because i had a great teacher and then I picked it for the leaving cert thinking it would be fine. Seriously hate the subject i know it's not that hard you just have to learn off information but i've no in it interest anymore. Not sure what other subject i would have picked instead though.

Japanese..Should have stuck with Spanish

ECONOMICS:mad: all we do is take down notes! our teacher doesn't even go through them with us and he thinks we have the course covered! I haven't learned a thing this year, i wish i done geography instead and maybe do economics outside school...

I don't regret anything Sure I took accounting, homec and biz but I started off with Physics and realised how awful it was after 5 months and switched. I regret wasting 5 months of my life trying my best but only getting Cs in a subject that I would drop!

Physics for sure, I'm good at maths but I've no idea what's going on in this class.

Applied Maths would be horrible if you dont also do Higher Maths and Physics.
I seriously regret not doing Spanish.

By a country mile, the subject I regret the most is ....ART

lalee17

Chemistry. The subject of the devil. I need it for college though.

Despite loving them,I regret my subject choices immensely. (Chemistry,physics,economics.)

Biology for sure. History I do find hard but ive got an excellent teacher, thats part of the reason I chose it because I knew id have him.

Ditto, it's just cruel expecting us artist types to write essays about museums and stone works and all the craic. Totally stifles our creativity!

cork*girl

Art aswell I think... Should have kept on History or Business I think.

Physics isn't as good as I'd thought it would be. If the whole course was based on mechanics it would be great! But I just find the whole theory behind electricity etc. to be annoying.

Home ec- pointless, and far too broad.
Music- teacher too soft, cant work at it.
French- thought i needed it for college, but i dont. Hate it with a passion.

Love chemistry though!

I'm with timbuk2 on this one, physics is my big regret. Unlike the rest of ye though I love applied maths, it's the only one I'm half ready for!

laura93

History simply because there's too much on the course

French - I too thought I needed it, regret taking it... Not extremely difficult but I hate oral exams >_<.

Totally! I don't regret taking it since I need it but I don't understand a thing about electricity. (and there's so much questions about it too) Love Particle physics though.

Chemistry. D= Just why did I take it why! >.<

I think it just depends on the person,for me higher level accounting is really easy.
If I didn't need French to get into Uni I would of done business instead.

I think the teacher you have also has a big impact on whether you like a subject or not, i know it did for me.

Keep working at the economics it gets easier eventually,
I really hadn't a clue about some topics last year(Elasticity or Market Structures) but after some revision this year it's going a lot better.
