What are they like?

[nice]

I just got my registration for 10th grade classes next year and i was wondering has anyone took algebra 2, staistics, or psycology? Im taking geometry this year already and i hate it so i dont wanna take staistics if its anything like geometry. Also has anyone taken AP European History?

Thanks for taking time to read this and answer my questions :)

Umm. Well. I've taken Algebra. And I'm a psychology major. Never took it in secondary though.

Any specific questions about them?

Algebra 2 is easy...well if you are good at math and took Algebra 1

Never really took Statistics, but I've heard from lots of people that it's pretty easy. Don't think it's anything like Geometry. It's about mean, medium, mode, stem-and-leaf plots, those things...

Psychology is interesting to learn

Like what do you guys do in class I heard you have to read like this whole book on psychology by yourself all year

The book probably depends on your school curriculum, can't help you there.

Basically Psychology has different subcategories, my school split courses over Cognitive (thought process), Biological (behaviour), Clinical (diagnosis & treatment), Personality (speaks for itself), and Psycho-pathology (mental illness), and Developmental (changes with age). I'd imagine at high school level you'd be doing more of a broad class going shallowly into a handful of them.

Most are research-heavy areas, while others are more abstract. You are going to have tons of vocab though. Don't know if reg Psychology does essays, but I did a good few.

I had Probability and Statistics last semester, and I thought it was very easy. My favorite class so far in high school.

I was great with Integrated Algebra and it was my best subject but I failed Geometry and am currently failing Trig. What was once my best subject (math in general) is now my worst. History is usually easy for me but really depends on the student/person.

I had a psychology class and I enjoyed it. The class was really interesting because you could apply/observe what you learned in class, in the real world, in real time( if that make sense).

For example you might learn about The Psychology of Love:

Styles of Attachment
What Is Love?
Theories of Love

or maybe

Behavioral Psychology. Behavioral psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on observable behaviors.


If I had to suggest one class over the other I would say Psychology. I think you would enjoy it. I think that it is an easy A, but then again that depends upon your interest in the subject.

Just my opinion, I hope that it was of some help.
