Which class should I take?
I am going to take a class at a local college this summer. I want it to be a practical class, but also interesting. Here is the list of my narrowed-down choices:
Exploring Topics in Biology (to freshen my memory of biology in preparation for the Biology SAT Subject Test in the fall)
English (to strengthen my reading comp, writing, grammar, mechanics, etc in prepearation for the SAT in the fall)
Elementary Level German (just because I have really wanted to pursue this language)
U.S. History From 1876 to the Present (I have already taken U.S. History, but I would take this to strengthen my knoweledge for the US History SAT Subject Test in the fall)
If I had to choose a class strictly because I wanted to take it/it interests me, I would take either German or U.S. History, but I’m thinking that these would be less beneficial for me.
If it makes a difference, I already know another language other than English very well.
The real dilemma is this: the two courses that will benefit me the most (English and Biology) are the two least interesting to me. German is very interesting to me, although it will not benefit me at all for exams in the fall. U.S. History is also very interesting to me, but I have already taken that class but I would gladly take it again and it might help me for the exam in the fall. Will it look bad to colleges if I take U.S. History in school and a more intensive, post-1876 History class in the summer? Shouldn’t I take a different academic class or not necessarily?
I am really conflicted, so please try to persuade me.
Thanks
