Topic: You niggers can help me pick out my courses for next year
stickybuns !bENfolDsOU started this discussion 15 years ago#1,496
I have to have a maths class, an English class, an American history class, and a science class. I also need 4 electives.
The English instructor at the next level is horrid, but the local college offers an English course. The catch, is if you take it junior year you must take it senior year. it's also most likely difficult as hell knows.
The science will be chemistry and of no concern.
The math will be algebra 2 and I hate maths.
the history class will probably be AP.
What do you guys think of my prelminary choices for electives?
Public speaking
Anthropology
sociology/contemporary issues
AP psychology
I was going to take French 3 and 4, but I just can't be arsed. I already took the psychology 1 class, so I have an idea of what I'm getting in to.

Of course I say French, but if you refuse, I would say Anthropology. It is incredibly interesting.

Sociology and psychology are very easy, but 90% of everything your teacher tells you will either be complete bullshit or a gross simplification of the truth. Accept nothing without researching it thoroughly.

I want to take French, but I just feel I would be more interested with these other courses. Anthropolgy does seem fascinating, so I thought it'd be nice :D

I like the psychology choice, it's a nice flexible qualification to have, and a very interesting subject to do.
Anthropology isn't really that useful as a qualification, but if you're genuinely interested in it then I say go for it.
The other two are nice as side subjects, and sound quite interesting.

Pick out some really hard courses that count for jack towards your major.
You know, to be silly.

Thank you for the input. I know anthropolgy won't be useful, but I do think it'd be interesting and right up my alley.

AP classes can help, actually. And I just want to give myself some sort of challenge. I'm only taking things that interest me, though.

I took astronomy once. It wasn't related to any major I ever had, it was just fun. I took it for fun so I didn't study and got a C+ in it. I then transferred colleges and that bad grade didn't transfer with it since it wasn't one of the related classes for my major at the other college.

I'm in high school in case you guys haven't worked that out yet.

guys...do you think I'd be getting myself in to trouble with multiple AP classes? That's a serious question. I can handle tough workloads, but I don't always know if I can handle them with skill. Especially in terms of essays and projects. I can usually BS through untimed essays, but timed essays and projects/presentations kill me...

AP is bullshit anyways. Do it if you want; it's not as hard as it's cracked up to be. Ultimately whatever you choose won't make that much of a difference ayways in the long run.

See, one of the things that kind of scares me about AP psychology, is that we have to do a research experiment where we survey a large number of people :/ I'm afraid of projects of that scale D:
A semi-related question: Would a liberal arts college be a bad place to go for undergraduate studies? I don't know what the hell I want to study, but I kind of want to go in to the law field as a civil rights attorney or somesuch.
Or, screw the college idea and become an arms dealer.

I'm not so sure about a liberal arts school for being an attorney. As long as they have a good law program, then I guess it doesn't matter.

Our resident former career criminal is asleep at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be able to offer you plenty of advice.

...well, if you have business sense, that might even work, just inquire about the legal prerequisites, because you won't be able to do illegal business without contacts.

I meant the liberal arts college for undergraduate studies and then going off to another law school.
