Should i do physics?

Omnomnom · 2009-08-15 00:08:10

Im going into 5th year and would like to do physics for the leaving cert but im not that great at maths...I did honours for 2 and a half years and then dropped to pass and got a B1 in my jc.. If i could i'd prefer to do home ec..our school is pretty small so it didn't show up in subject choice and i think it would be too…

Oh man don't do physics. It was my lowest grade at a c2 and its just so hard to get right.

Basically unless your really talented at maths its just far too complex. As many people say the maths itself is easy but you will find yourself rote learning formula, units and definitions just to give yourself an actual chance of doing the sum.

i think this subject really justifys the idea that it all depends on the teacher from what ive read people either find it an interesting subject which they reccomend or a difficult subject not worth the effort .. at the end of the day the person who teaches you is really what counts and that goes for every subject in my opinion
