Have you been sleeping through History classes? Finding ways to be excused from Physical Education? Do you look forward to every chemistry class? Participate actively during Spanish lessons?

What is/are your favourite(s) and least favourite(s) subject(s) you've taken?

Hmm...

In high school, I really liked anything social studies (history, geography, world issues, native studies...), biology and English (having a teacher that let us chose our own reading material was awesome). I also liked the theory parts of astronomy and chem.

I've always had a rough time with math, so anything involving the crunching of numbers is a challenge for me. As such, I tend not to like those types of classes so much. Though, after grade 9, I took consumer level math, which was actually pretty fun overall.

The creative classes like art and photography were fun, but since I lack talent in those fields, my grades weren't the best. And since I wanted top grades, I axed them after tenth grade.

And lastly, any gym class after elementary school was bad. I remember having 24 minute runs in high school. If too many people were walking at the end, they'd add minutes back, or even reset the clock. Being a weak runner, it was freaking horrible DX

I'm really just a science guy. I really loved biology, so I started taking animal classes like Wildlife Biology, Animal Science I, and Zoology. I loathe math, even though science and math are seen as pairs. :P

I liked most of my subjects at school. Different years, I liked different subjects more, depending on what we were learning and who was teaching it.

I hated biology in year 11 for example, because it was all about body systems. While in year 12 we started doing genetics and I completely fell in love with it. I really enjoyed chemistry as well, and I loved year 11 maths but hated year 12 due to the teacher being terrible. English was always alright, but I never really enjoyed history or economics or any social studies subjects. I guess I'm not really interested in human life. xD I enjoyed art and especially this robotics class I did in year 9 where we got to program things. I knew I needed maths/science for university though, so I didn't pursue any art subjects.

PE classes were always my favourite because they were easy and fun. I am very competitive and love sport. I can imagine they would really suck if you weren't into sport though. My favourite thing to play was dodgeball. :D

I can relate so much. I love biology (especially on a gene and molecular level) and chemistry (although physical chemistry not so much), but I cannot for the life of me do math. Calculus and complex numbers are tougher than Greek. In a similar vein, physics is the bane of my educational life.

Literature and English lessons have always been my top favourites. I took Art for two years; I didn't really like it mostly due to my lack of talent lol. I participated in a Drama class once; though I was more motivated by the acting make-up. XD

I hate PE because it's mostly running and a bunch of games that I opine to be threatening to my health ;-;

Art is my favorite subject and lunch since its kinda free time and what not.
But chemistry is a disappointment "I thought we are going to blow stuff up"

Sadly, I only took a couple of art classes in high school. The ones I did take were a lot of fun, though, and I learned quite a bit about techniques that I wasn't familiar with before, such as crippling and how exactly perspective works. Well, on a technical level, anyway. And I took a jewelry class, which was really neat. At first we worked with a lot of copper wire and stuff to make bracelets, necklaces, etc. After a while, though, we actually learned how to make glass beads. It was kinda a struggle with some of the glass rods, though, because certain colors just wouldn't heat up fast enough.

Being a Psych student, I've also really loved psychology. Less of the medical aspect, though; I'm more into the social field of it.

I also took this basic biology class in my first year or so of college, which was actually really interesting! I learned, like, a lot from that. The only class I actually passed with an A in my two years of college, hah. Then again I'm sure it was because most of the grade was weighed by exams and in class assignments, soooo yeah

And I don't totally hate math. Algebra is a really helpful thing to learn that actually kinda helps you here and there in the real world, but...when I got to college algebra, I just shut down. It was awful. I passed, though. Bleh. The thing about math subjects is that I tend to make a lot of little mistakes which throws everything off

Ohhhh and I LOVED my German classes in high school. Thanks to that, I actually got to travel to Germany in 2011.
That and some other surrounding countries, ttoo
