This may seem like an obvious answer, but idk if i am using my class time efficiently. So, for 2u (advanced) i am either catching up on hwk from ext 1 or 2, or listening to content (should i do the advanced hwk??). Then, for 3u and 4u, i just do the hwk for the classes and ask questions abt the content on that day. For english, i do nothing special, just do what my teacher says and try to survive (i hate it), then for physics, i find myself not doing the work in the lesson and just doing practice questions, cause i cbf listening to my sack of a teacher. Chem is somewhat similar, but i do work provided as well cause my teacher is actually good, but often times, i put headphones and learn the content in class myself cause i don't like her style of explanation. Lastly, for modern, my teacher just rambles on abt whatever we are doing that day and i just do random stuff, e.g. write paragraphs/work on an essay, sleep (very heavy on sleeping in modern cause why not), and do maths/another subject (i rarely listen).
For anyone that does any similar subjects, should i try to do something different in the sciences, and actually listen in modern (my teacher yaps off the textbook), or just continue what i do now.
Is it possible if u guys put what you do as well in ur subjects classes, i just feel lost.
Physics: blank dead stare at teacher yapping with powerpoint (id usually be yapping to my friends about random things or physics but they all dropped), do 2/50 practise questions on the worksheet given and call it a day, do an occasional practise hsc question with the class and loose 100 marks on my response bc i forgot to quote newton's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th laws, law of conservation of energy, zeroth law of thermodynamics, the periodic table, didn't write down the polarity of the galvanometer, forgot direction 10 times, didn't use enough metaphors, imagery and juxtaposition in my explanation, didn't note that spring sensors don't compress, didn't read the question's ambiguity etc (I usually write notes at home when the info has marinated for a day)
Chem: less dead stare at teacher, do half of the worksheet, yap with my friends about random things and chemistry, rummage for 5 min trying to find a working whiteboard marker to work, play dots and lines on the whiteboard (again, i write notes at home)
English: first 7 weeks of the term - play wordle, connections, strands and the mini, yap with my friends, diss english, cook up in the class discussion if it gets deep enough for me to bother (what notes are there to take)
2 weeks before the exam - don't listen to the yappery, work on an essay, pester teachers for feedback, yap with my friends, participate in the occasional class discussion
Maths adv: when it was still assessable - dead blank stare at teacher not absorbing anything, yap with my friends about anything but maths, do the worksheet, go play soccer in the hallway (i didnt write notes for maths)
when it was no longer assessable - dead blank stare, yap, play soccer in hallway
when it was ext 2 lock in season - do ext 2 work with the other ext 2 kids
maths ext 1 & 2: with my strict teacher - try to lock in even tho its 7am, finish worksheet, leave (i didn't take notes, but always did hw at home, and extra study if needed)
with my not so strict teacher (t2 yr 12 onwards) - try to lock in, occasional yap, finish worksheet, have some out of control debate with teacher and class about whether maths was invented or discovered, realise its 9:05 am and the next class has started for 15 min, run to class
business studies (dropped): not listening to yappery, try to yap with friends but get caught, take some notes on the brainrot, occasionally get told to sit outside to make me lock in
engineering distance ed (dropped): no sessions, do worsheets after ctrl f-ing the answers from the textbook, no notes taken. online lessons - listening to yappery, brain fried, try to concentrate with idiots being idiots behind me outside of the view of the teacher's camera in an unsupervised classroom (unless you count the teacher on the screen)
