Tough call.. either P chem quantum mechanics final or USMLE Step 1. I think the sheer anxiety around Step 1 pushes that one ahead.

Well there’s three that come in mind.

1) microprocessor final which including creating a program with the least amount of processes.

2) Emag final

3) z transform and Laplace transforms, plus Nyquist rate equations.

I dont remember, I was busy doing other ventures.

Freshman year, was still in the 1990s for me. There was an adult store that would often have old inventory in the alley bin behind the store. I slung VHS porno to high school dudes without internet at $40 a film. That's how I bought my first les paul.

Too old to remember.

I remember getting railed by an Okiel Reinforced Concrete final.

Dude threw us every curveball conceivable. (The class wasn't that bad though)

Some 4000+ level math class writing proofs. Took it because I had made an A in almost every math class I had ever taken and it counted as an engineering technical elective. Huge mistake on my part. One exam I just drew pictures of Godzilla attacking a city because I had no clue what was going on. Teacher gave me partial credit and laughed at the picture. Ended up with a C in the class and have no clue how that teacher found a way to set the curve that extreme.

Many in the EE program at LSU back in the day would have told you it was Aravena's linear circuit class, but for test grades I'd give it to Dr. Ho's electronics lecture.

I had a good understanding of the material, and on the first test I scored 6 out of 100. With the curve that was a C.

After that, I caught on to his testing style and started scoring at least in the high 30s on the remainder of his tests, and with the curve those were As.

Hard to say because it has been a long time back.

Freshman year physics I class, the prof said "We have 4 sections of this class and only 3 sections of physics II next semester. 30% of you will fail the course" and then he proved it. We were allowed to bring one sheet of equations to the tests to "cheat" off of. They did no good at all.

Quantum Mechanics was Scary as hell, every test.

Coaching Baseball (elective - one summer) was by far the easiest course for me. MSU Baseball Coach Ron Polk was the instructor. Sadly, it was full of football players, who struggled mightily to get their A's.
