Dropping Ancient history (1 Viewer)

[Iccehy]

Hi y'all. Im in year 12, doing 12 units and really considering doing 10 units for the rest of my HSC.
But that means removing the safety net and surviving with what i have
For me, my teacher gives loads of homework for us to do, with short deadlines, i hardly finish, and end up never doing it.
[Did anyone else have loads of work for ancient?]
However ancient history seems like a relatively easy subject that i can do well, if i study the right way
What do you think????

drop it

How are you going in regards to assessments?

drop it

I do Ancient History, but I can get ahead of the work and still do considerably well in exams. If you cant get ahead on the daily work then I'd say you drop it since it could hinder your ranks and results and most especially your HSC.

Drop it if you aren't going well in assessments otherwise keep it.Also consider how much you "enjoy" the subject

I can't tell, i just hate the teacher, because all she does is give us piles of hw, she doesn't teach us. its pretty much self study
I like the subject, but i don't know how to manage the hw

I don't know about your class teacher, but hw is like 'summarise this 15page article' or 'do 25 qs on politics'
there's so much to do, it just leaves wondering if doing this workload is effective at all

Not sure if srs lol

I would keep the subject tbh, the amount of stress being on 10-11 units and fear of bombing an exam is not worth it...

Do u do considerably well for all your subjects though? I'm not doing that well for my other subjects (mostly get C's), so thats why i'm considering dropping a subject that has alot of work. But i'm hesitating because, i don't have confidence in topping my 5 other subjects

Is there a chance of you learning the content as a study group or getting textbooks/ resources? Personally, I don't know why teachers who don't want to teach properly are allowed to teach hsc.
How does she teach?
e.g my teacher (he's so enthusiastic about history)
- has powerpoints summarising the main points
-explains each point when going through the slides and adding info on the whiteboard
-gives us reading booklets including sources and extra readings
-gets us to do understanding questions
-advises us to do dot point summaries

some teachers don't help properly but weigh it with the things that does help, then see if that is manageable

I would say hang on to it for a bit longer and see how you feel as a new topic will begin really soon. If things really don't feel right (trust your gut, and how your marks are going) change from there.
