Or, if you prefer, the most useful class you've taken?

The following do not count: lunch, study hall, free periods, physical education, or any class you just sleep through all the time.  This is supposed to be serious.


For example, I think the most useful class I've taken has been AP Statistics.  I don't think I can look at statistics the same way again after taking that course, and it has made me scrutinize and analyze every study and reported findings I've come across.  I see some seemingly incriminating material, and I wonder aloud, "what's the sample size, or the standard deviation?"  "Is there a confounding variable?"  "Was this biased?" etc.

Not only that, but the class also gave me a better understanding of the crap survey people have to go through to have good studies.  I respect them so much now.


You?

In my AP Literature Class, I learned that poems have to be some of the most difficult forms of writing, and it's through them that writers show incredible genius.  Not all poems are good, of course; actually, a lot of them are really bad.

Probably my CS101/CS201 classes so far. Feels great knowing how to code, even though I'm not that great at it yet.

learning java?

it'll be a while before your coding actually pays off in the visual sense.  I don't think we're getting to that in 1020 (though we were at that point in grade 11)

Japanese.



So much different (literally backwards) from english.

Redpaige13

Probably the Nevada Gaming Statutes and Regulations. 

I learned SOOO much from that class, and walked out with a Bible of regulations.  I had to have printed out at least 700 pages..

What really made me proud is that that was the same class and professor that my dad took, and I passed that class with a solid A. 

Kinda inspired me to work at a Casino, but.. doesn't really do anything now since I moved from Vegas to Washington.  Wonder how the regulations are in this state..

FORNICATION BABY!

US History. Only because my history teacher is the most kick ass teacher ever. :)

Probably U.S History. My teacher is awesome, so I guess the information just sticks. :P

Kilroy

Probably Global Studies. I was never really big on knowing what's going on around me.

Um, I would say it's probably AP World History that I learned the most in.
In Chemistry, I learned a little bit of stuff that I didn't already know.
I'm not very far yet in Driver's Ed this year but I think I'll learn a bunch of stuff I didn't know yet because I know like nothing about driving

Other than those, I haven't really learned anything.
Digital Design 2 is just doing more and more projects with the programs (mostly Adobe InDesign, with occasional Illustrator and rare use of Photoshop) we 'learned' how to use in DD1 (though, it's really simple to just figure out the programs myself).
My math class is just needless repetition.
Keyboarding is, well, just typing, and my words per minute speed actually goes down a little gradually through the class.
My English class this year is not even teaching English, but rather analyzing the cultural aspects of various videos or story passages.

Most useful class was computer applications.  I can type fast now ^_^

Calculus BC, even though I got a freaking C. >__> Damn finals got it down.

At least now I can find out how to take the volume of a donut.
