Of the four core subjects (and other subjects like art and music), what would be your favorite part of each subject be? Out of everything you learned from it from your entire school life.

My take:

  • English: Text Structure (especially comparison/contrast)
  • Math: Anything that involves solving equations (including related rates and optimization from Calculus)
  • Science: Meteorology (Earth?s atmosphere, climate, weather etc)
  • Social Studies: US Geography (I would love to visit all 50 states)
You don?t have to color code the subjects. I just like to do it.
 
English - I enjoyed practical things like writing speeches and news reports. Not a fan of analyzing literature at all.
Math - Solving equations. I never took Calculus though, maybe that would have turned me off of it.
Science - I liked learning about outer space and weather.
Social Studies - Learning about ancient civilizations was really cool (I remember we did Medieval Times in grade four and Ancient Egypt in grade five)
Music - I'm probably one of the few people that will say music theory was their favourite part of music class. :p I learned the basics of music theory when I was five so I guess it became like a second language to me. I think I got 100% on every music theory test throughout elementary and high school.

English: I like how everything (for the most part) is opinion. As long as you argue it good enough, you'll get the marks. It's not so black and white.
Math: literally nothing. I hate every single bit of math.
Science: Space!!
Social Studies: Learning the maps of the world
 
English: Everything! English/language classes were my favorite subjects in school. I can't think of anything I didn't like from learning new vocabulary to sentence structure to word origin to reading and writing. I guess if I had to pick a favorite it was when we studied the romantic poets and got to select one to analyze their works and life and write a paper on them. I picked Byron and he became my favorite poet of all time.

Math: Ummm, probably nothing. I really hated math. It was the only class I didn't like in school. I guess I didn't mind the very early stages, though. Addition, subtraction, and multiplaction tables were all easy enough. But once we got into fractions, geometry, algebra, and other more difficult calculations, I just got bored.

Science: I loved life science as it was called at my school. It was about studying animals and humans and plants and learning how we all lived and worked, but it didn't include all the disection that came along with biology. I hated disection. That was traumatizing for me and was the only time I would try to skip out on a class. Life science was fun. We got to do things like catch bugs or dig up worms and raise them. I loved my little pets.

Social Studies: History was my second favorite subject. I've always loved learning about the past and about other cultures in the world. Ancient Egyptian history is my personal favorite, but really I could enjoy learning about any past civilization or society.
 
I'm trying to remember that far back.

Hmmm, Nothing except art and science were enjoyable.

I liked the astrological part of science the most. It's when it got into the math area that it lost me.

I hated math. With a vengeance.

My math teacher actually said to me I had a mental block on math, and if it wasn't compulsory, he'd suggest I didn't take it.

I'd sit right down the back, usually, near the open window so I could smoke. I'd hang my arm out the window. The teacher never caught me.

So in that respect, math was fun. Cuz, yay, cigarette time.

Don't do this kids.
Smoking is a horrid habit. (I quit almost 5 years ago!)

Don't even get me started on math formulas. They're so boring!! Numbers are just boring to me.
 
I never took Calculus though, maybe that would have turned me off of it.

If there’s anything that would ruin math for me, it would be deductive reasoning, proofs, and writing sentences. That’s not even math in my opinion, yet it’s what I have to deal with.

The only time I can do proofs is while solving equations or verifying trigonometric identities, which I never had to do while solving equations or verifying identities.
 
English- the only subject I was actually good at in school. I liked reading stuff like poems and short stories and dissecting them.

Science- cool stuff but alot. Punnett squares are cool. Really liked learning about genes and hereditary traits.

Social Studies- Idek what this was I haven't had a social studies class since middle school.

Math- hate it. Geometry is better cause it's just formulas. I mean I know it's still math but it's easier math.
 
english - disliked english a lot, its so subjective. i can write things grammatically correct and still get a lame grade because i didnt 'evaluate' the theme of a book correctly or whatever. it was annoying, and i always procrastinated every paper i had to do.

math - i started to enjoy math as i got into college, i only went up to calculus though. but instead of english it was very objective and there was always a 'right' answer. i liked discovering patterns and manipulations to simplify an expression for easier solving. to me it was like a puzzle.

science - really enjoyed chemistry and biology. loved organic chemistry a lot in college, anatomy/physiology was my second favorite.

social studies - i feel like sociology changed me and matured me in a way no other class could. it offered a scientific/statistical fact and explanation on the disparity minorities suffer, rather than a blunt racist reason i was taught by...well, society.
 
For me, (it's because all of the math teachers were mean and strict in high school)

English : Okay, I guess. I love learning about sentence structures. I can throw a book out the window, I hate reading. :3
Math : Geometry, some easy (okay, not easy) equations. Also, shapes, they're fun.
Science : Biology, just love it. I love learning about classification of animals. I loved taking care of gastropods. (Mine died though :[)
Social Studies : Okay, I guess as well. I love learning about some certain country history. Really, anything else was okay. American government was boring. :/

I did have a few other classes, also, despite me loving art, don't take the art class in my school. It actually sucks.
I love foreign language classes though.

my boyfriend is getting his phd in mathematics and i feel like he would scream over that sentence that proof isnt even math lol.
 
I hated all of those 4 to be honest lol but I did like Music class because it was mostly chill. Did I learn how to read music? nah, but there was always the internet and tabs lol

Computer Class was also pretty chill. I remember me and my friends would just play Flash games (City Jumper, Newgrounds) and or someone would get a proxy going to go into sites that were blocked.
 
English: Learning new words and better ways to format speech.

Math: Most of the earlier stuff is applicable in everyday life or makes real life tasks solvable with numbers.

Science: Very interesting! I wish I could remember it all because biology is so useful.

Social Studies: The history aspect when it is unbiased. :rolleyes: Geogrophy is useful but I could never remember.
 
English: the literacy works, of course! also learning about new words, as snowesque said. :)
Math: *my dyscalculia shakes in a corner*
Science: idk, either space or the periodic table.
Social Studies: country history!

Maths Methods: Probability looks cool
Legal Studies: Learning about the legal system is fun
Media: Literally EVERYTHING. I like making films, photoshop, analysing media
Chemistry: The end of the period
Business Management (When I move into it from chemistry): It isn't chemistry
 
maths: algebra even though its hard and geometry i guess but its a bit boring.
english: nothing at all ew
science: i loved learning abt radioactivity & space and almost the entirety of biology
history: history of medicine, super interesting

english: i study english lit at a-level and i most enjoy the literary analysis aspect, looking at texts through critical perspectives (e.g marxism, feminism, post-colonialist), and thinking about the contexts of the texts.
math: i sort of hated it but i enjoyed statistics!
science: i loved biology but was never any good at physics and found chemistry hard to remember (even though i always achieved highest in it). i do psychology and enjoy the scientific debate within it.
social sciences: i also take history, and i massively enjoy learning the narrative of events, analysing them, and considering the context surrounding history. i find it quite similar to english lit in that sense. i learn post-war america and tudors, and i find america more interesting.
 
english - i enjoy reading short stories and novels and analyzing them; learning different types of literature has always been fascinating to me but i?ve never enjoyed writing essays or the inevitable group projects that come with english. i also have a certain diction that goes against the formality that english requires so that?s a downside, too.

math - one of my least favourite subjects but when i actually understand what?s going on, solving equations is almost kind of fun to me

science - i enjoyed learning about how the body works and stuff, but the amount of memorization and groupwork that it requires is why it?s my least favourite subject and why i?m glad to have the 2 science credits required to graduate.

social studies - i enjoyed learning about history to a certain extent, but since groupwork is one of my least favourite things about school and history requires a lot of it, social studies caused me a lot of anxiety lol
