re: Hardest and most interesting class you took in college

History of the world since 1960 at LSU. I took as a history elective having no fricking clue. The dude that taught it was INTENSE.... talking briefed for the pentagon during Vietnam, bragged about having briefly dated the "black widow" aka a woman who had the launch codes. Easily the hardest class I took at LSU as this fricker would start robotically rattling off stories and dates without writing shite on the board and you had to remember EVERY damn word of it. Just a mid-term and final.....all blue book essay. BUT The stories that crazy baw had were incredible. It whipped my arse but I couldn't drop it...I couldn't look away... every class was a fricking 1.5 hour thrill ride

ETA: Professor was Ben Martin. Passing that class was a serious badge of honor around campus. I still remember walking in after the midterm and the class had maybe 40% of what it had day of the midterm. He looks around chuckles and goes...geee..where is everyone...I thought I had more students that this...and grins
