I find that the better your teacher is, the more likely you'll like a subject more. Everyone agrees?
Definitely agree. I'm in the situation where if it weren't for the teacher, I would've drop kicked ext. maths. Henceforth I have a love/hate relationship with ext. maths.

That said, favorite subjects: Modern and Extension English. Classes are smaller, more work done, more teacher/student time

Least favorite: Business studies. Why? It was one of those subjects that are 'fillers' - I had a choice of either Visual Arts or Hospitality on that line. Nothing wrong with those subjects but they're not my thing.

Business Studies is also kinda dry and plain if you're not interested in it from the beginning.

Favourite: Modern History and Agriculture (interesting content, though teachers are too laid back)

Maths would have been my favourite subject by far if only they offered accelerated classes :/

3U Maths > Ext. 1 English >>> Chemistry = Economics >>> English Advanced >>>>> Physics for me.

I thought physics would be really maths oriented. I was wrong.

The hard bit of Moving About is not the mathematics involved but rather how to use the formulas and comprehending the question.

The mathematics in Physics isn't even that 'bad'. (Even for people doing 2U Mathematics, it should be easy)

Yea, agreed :) I think it was the part about understanding how to manipulate the formula in the question that made me drop it... with that being said- they started off with the hardest prelim physics topic? :S

Favourite: Chemistry/Physics - Stuff that actually is interesting and intriguing to learn. Really the only subjects in which I want to learn more.
Dislike: English Standard - There's this ever so present "stigma" that I am in the bottom of the grade. I also dread English in general
Visual Design - Tossed between this and SOR at beginning of year; and now we're making Easter Bunny hats (O.O) - not much theory and so exams are condensed.

It's a matter of opinion which one is the hardest topic lol. I honestly loved the topic because it didn't involve much memorisation at all. Electricity looks a lot different. It's gonna be a tonne more theory.
