What, academically, is your weak spot?

[BurnItDwn]

I suppose English/Writing would be my 'weak' spot. Math/Science i pick up easily and never had problems until I get to Linear Algebra. (though my Linear Algebra problems may have been also from never studying and not going to class. I didn't "magicly absorb" the material like I was able to in Calc classes.)

That being said, my real weakness when it comes to Acedemics, is effort.
I hated classes because they started in the morning. I worked in the evening at the time, so night school wasn't really possible. Also, I hate homework and studying more then just about anything else. I also procrastinate a lot. I made it through 2 years of college prior to dropping out. Since then I've been much happier working a full time job and not going to school.

One of my lifes dillemas has been I am good at everything in academia. I am a scientist/engineer but could easily be a writer/politician. I was never fond of history or biology for the amount of pure memorization necessary. But now I am old enough to even appreciate History and enjoy the subject. I also like Bio cuz of all the genetics/biotech stuff.

Assigned homowerk.
I can't stand getting assigned hundreds of page long problems to solve. Especially in calculus or physics.

putting any ammount of effort in to class. That would be my only weakness. I can right well, grammar is okay enough that I can pass it off to my midwestern teachers as east coast idiosyncraces, spell check saves my life. I love history, I think its the best novel ever written, don't have a problem with memorization, math I can do good at if i apply myself, etc. Just with alot of that stuff, I'd rather be tinkering around with a PC. So thats why I got a job doing that for a living.

History is KILLING me.

 

[theknight571]

Did fine in math until I got to Calc.

The Sciences were ok... unless they used Calc.

English/Writing/Lit was my weakness.

Math/Comp Sci is killing me. I have no idea why my poli sci degree requires 2 classes of advanced math
History, political theory, international relations ftwfm

History. ALl the sciences came easy for me (when I tried). Just the stuff with memorizing useless dates and such were always lame to me.
