School

[Betelgeux]

What was the most time-consuming/tedious assignment you ever had to complete in school?

In 8th grade, my English teacher put the class through a very extensive autobiography project, worth 1000 points of the final grade. The requirement was 60-70 pages of stories and pictures... it got very old very quickly. :/

[Crazysilver03]

Oh, I never had such a thing. The worst thing I had last year was our English teacher told us we had a 20 page report to do, and she was like, its due in one week. It was like AHHHHHH.

[WildWill]

Can't remember any really tedious assignments, but I can tell you in college, you don't get a whole lot of time to do your papers...maybe two weeks at the most for all my lit classes.

[Betelgeux]

Large assignments with fast deadlines should be illegal...

[Xssj2GohanX]

I think my most tedious assignment was actually a test. We had a 158 question AP bio test in a 43 minute class period my junior year of HS. It was hell. I still got an 88 in it though...which is VERY good for that one test.

[Crazysilver03]

But was the test MC right. Darn, 43 minutes. It took me 45 minutes to do 100 questions for AP U.S. History.

[Betelgeux]

Can't say I've taken an AP test before, though it usually takes me about an hour or so to do most school tests, and they range 110 questions or so... looks like there's work to be done....

[dragonballviewer]

The AP U.S. History test definetly was tiresome. I think I studied about 30hrs for that thing.

[Xssj2GohanX]

Yea, it was MC. But this was just a normal test during the school year. It wasn't the actual AP test. The AP test was FAR easier than this one test.

[Crazysilver03]

Tell me about it. The midterms were mad easy compared to the normal tests.

[n1ke]

My high school doesn't even take midterms. The most tedious thing i've ever done was probably do 125 definitions (In 9 weeks) I have that dude now, but im too lazy to do it because school sucks. =/

[KrazyKid5]

All are hard, only because I wait untill the last few periods before it's due to do anything.

[GalacticDonut]

Not sure about tedious, but the longest assignment I can remember was writing an essay involving Oliver Twist for my Year 11 (Grade 10/11 equivalent) English Literature class.
That took me far too long.
Literature in general started getting tedious as I don't want to analyze everything I read.

[Arky]

The two AP English tests I took in high school sucked pretty badly, but I got 6 credit hours for college from them. I also got another 3 from the AP mUsic Theory test, which is freaking hard.

In part of it, you have to listen to someone playing a melody, and you have to notate it. In another part, there are four simultaneous parts going on, and you have to write out two of them, and write the chord progression. At the very end of the test, you have to do sight-singing, where you get a short melody on paper, and have to record yourself singing it...:eek:

[Kakarote]

My midterms was to simple. Took me less than one hour just to finish it. I was the first to finish in all my classes.

Hardest assignment gotten was to write a journal on a health change for 8 weeks.

Then don't become an English major...that's all we do, that and write about it.

[Doctor Deadpool]

The worst assignment I had in High School was in CP English, We had Three days to write a Five page essay on "Alive". I enjoyed the book. But not the assignment.

[Crazysilver03]

Hahahahaha. Three Days for Five Pages. I would love those kind of assignments. Writing 4-5 pages is second nature now for His and English, that you have to do in one class period or overnight.

[Kid_Buu]

First off, I apoligise to Punichu for starting a topic on IM Usernames, sorry about that.

Anyway, right now I have two assignments to get caught up in. Religous Education, I need to write an assignment about the jews and there lives back when hitler reigned, the other is History, I will need to write about the war. I am looking forward to doing both in a way, there interesting subjects.

[GalacticDonut]

Then don't become an English major...that's all we do, that and write about it.

Yup, that's why I didn't take any more English classes after that one.
I enjoyed it, but I couldn't do it full time.

[TMTH]

In 8th grade, I had a religion unit project type thingy. Everyone got to research on of the many protestant religions, write a 5 page paper, and present (memorized) to the class for atleast 20 minutes. And then, while others were presenting, you had to take very complete notes, otherwise you'd be screwed for the 1000 pt test that was on all of the religions researched. -_-

gah, it sucked.

[Arky]

I'm currently taking the last English class I'll ever have to take...^_^

[Crazy Monkey]

Ugh... Tomorrow I have mid-terms. I have to get up early to go in for 3 hours. Luckily I have off the rest of the week :) .

[SableyeRULES]

The most boring thing I had to do was a report on Martin Luther King.

[Xssj2GohanX]

Ugh, I remember back in grade school I hated doing reports on people. They were just boring. I remember just sitting wondering the significance of the assignment. Now it just seems funny in a way.

[Mushroom Pie]

Off the top of my head the only one I can think of is this thing we had to do in science class. Our teacher gave us a blank periodic table and we had to fill it in.

That is pretty easy to do if you already have a chart. Did you have to do it in school? Also I took my mid-terms today and they weren't even half as hard as my teacher made me believe. Now I have the rest of the week off, yay :) !

[BD25]

A Confirmation Album. In Gr. 8 (when ur supposed to get confirmed if you go to a Catholic School). It took me 4 months to finish it. Well, actually I had a year to do it, and I did it in April (it was due in February). I still got a 90 so no worries. Though I hated that thing *burns*

[Sturgy]

I can't remember any tedious assignments but I can remember the most hectic one. It was History Coursework It was meant to be set over two weeks for two question each 1500 words. The first piece was done in the first week. He then announced to us that we were to do the harder of the two pieces overnight. I was up until two in the morning writing on how Hague wasn't incompetent.

[Yu Gi Oh Duelist]

Wow, mine seems rather small compared to what you guys put. -_-. In 5th grade, I had to memorize 35 explorers and what they did in like, a week. Then, the day of the test, the teacher said it was open notebook. I was so close to just wringing her neck.

[Desert Rat]

100 page powerpoint presentation, it was a month long project, but I got it done in like 2 weeks. after a while though it got interesting...

[Xssj2GohanX]

Wow, 100 slides? Were they all with points or paragraphs of info. I've done presentations that were 80 slides long, but they included summaries, mostly bullets, and lots of graphs and pictures.

[Sturgy]

I am sorry but I am unfamiliar with the american education system. How old would you be in the 5th grade

I have also done a long demonstration. I think the longest was 173 seperate frames. This was awful animation that they asked us to do, so we had to draw each individual frame so that it worked like a video. Gosh that was boring.

[Xssj2GohanX]

173? Wow, that would have taken quite some patience.

And the 5th grade in the AMerican education system is comprised of kids who are 10 or 11 years old.

[Sturgy]

173 is really nothing. We got set a project to make a video about the dangers of drug abuse and therefore my friend decided that it would be terribly funny to take the mick out of all the teachers.

He decided to incorperate one of the jokes that I had made about our RS teacher having the same stance as Jango Fett. He involved nearly a minute of lightsaber dueling. To do this you need to rotoscope the film frame by frame so that is 25 fps for 60 seconds that is 1500 frames. I have rotoscoped videos of about 30 seconds.

[Xssj2GohanX]

O nm. I thought that you were saying that it was 177 slides in a presentation. I didn't see that you were talking about an animation.

[bountyhunterbebop]

I really haven't had any assignments like this(i thought they were bad, but looking at these, jeez :rolleyes: )

[ruebun]

im barly even homeschooled.my parents just bought a math book and told me to do a page every day and read a chapter of the chronicles of narnia books(which arent that bad once you get passed the first book :D

[halo158]

Yea, i haven't had anything that hard yet (tho i'm in 8th grade....)

I guess the worst thing i've had to do was a three (yea, just 3) page essay on The Color Purple overnight, i had to read half the book and then write the essay... not that much fun. The book was awful, but i got an A- on the paper, so w/e.

[WildWill]

Dude, 3 month old topics are not to be revived. Stop resurrecting old topics.
