<p>This year (12th) hasn’t been too bad for hw. I have a lot of free periods (well not a lot, but more than last year) so I start my hw during the day. I get home at ~4pm and if I didn’t have college apps, and if I didn’t screw around (read: if I didn’t go on CC and play spider solitaire and watch dumb videos on mtv.com), I’d probably be done pretty early, like by 8ish? </p>
<p>AP French Language is the worst- the assignments are confusing, and the book is horrible. If the homework is to read an article from a French website and write a summary, it usually takes like 45 minutes (maybe less). If it’s to do an exercise in the book, it takes forever, and I have a tendency to “quit” halfway through (which may explain the teacher’s comment on my report card that I have “missed many assignments”… hm. I will try to improve that). The tests are pretty hard to study for, since the teacher is so disorganized in the way she teaches.
AP Calculus AB/BC can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, though sometimes I don’t do all of the homework problems, since homework counts for exactly 0% of the final grade (the final grade is based on the tests; homework is for “practice”). But if I have a test, I usually spend about an hour or two studying.
AP Physics reading assignments don’t take long, maybe 30 minutes, but I like to read it twice. The problems take about an hour. When I have a test, I usually study for maybe 90 minutes or 2 hours? Lab reports take about 2 hours.
English reading assignments take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. The 2 page double-spaced papers we have to write every few weeks (I love English 12!) take about 2 hours. If we have a quiz, studying takes like 45 mins.
Biotechnology (BEST CLASS EVER) has very little homework (I shall repeat: BEST CLASS EVER). If we do have homework, it’s to study for a quiz (~30 mins) or test (~1-2 hours), or occasionally a few lab questions (20 mins).
IB Visual Arts has no real homework, but I spend a lot of time in the studio outside of class. Also, the Research Workbook (due once a monthish) takes at least 2 hours to complete (for 10 pages).</p>
