re: What's the hardest class you took in college.

My entire fall semester freshmen year.

This. And I can't blame it on the teacher. While she was from Korea, there was no language barrier. And she went above and beyond to be accessible to her students. I just could not get it to click for me.

And on a side note, took a music appreciation course, 1000 level maybe. I thought I was going to breeze through that elective. But the teacher didn't appreciate my kind of music and I did not appreciate his.

My only C in college was a sociology course. It was because the count SJW professor disagreed with my papers

I got a b+ in an otherwise straight A semester because the douche PhD disagreed with what we had dueled over in Constitutional history class and he asked it on the final.

Too full of himself.

My worst was in grad school.
Had to learn old Norse because I had signed up for an old English. Famous scholar tells us it's Norse saga time. It's 1966. If I drop I'm not a full time student and get drafted.

Slogging on, we learn that he will test us in two weeks on Norse verb conjugations, the declensions of a list of nouns and pronouns.
Basically the language in two weeks.
And that he doesn't give out B's. Just A or C.
It's to be 90% of the grade, the rest being our close translation of the saga, which we read in class all semester.

Ok. I put everything aside for two weeks and memorize Norse.
The five of us, two PhD candidates, three masters candidates: a hottie German who is a research assistant, oh yeah!, and me and another guy are teaching assistants for English 101.
We take it. Weeks go by.
He finally hands out the graded tests at mid term.
The other TA got a D.
Drama. He is told to leave.
He has just flunked out of grad school.you get 2 C's. No D. Whines about he had papers to grade. Prof gets him by elbow and walks him out. Frigging stress.


I got a B for the semester.
I then quit that program and got a real job.
Draft story some other day.

calculus is still the hardest thing I've taken. Some of my friends think I'm crazy but it was just harder for me. And I do well in math.

Introduction, application and theory. I loved application. Theory was a waste of time and difficult.

I have a BS degree in Biology. I have enough credit hours to have a BS in Chemistry.

Hardest class when I matriculated at UGA was some bullshite liberal arts crap, that only existed because there are North Campus "intellectuals" that are subjective.

Philosophy, sociology, anthropology have no need to be difficult at the undergraduate level.

I remember my Organic Chemistry professor testing us every day. "mini-quiz". She was obtaining her PHD in education.

Ignore Spaulding. He got a poli sci degree and failed to get into law school

Lol a poli sci degree.

Latin 4. To this day I wanna vomit when I think about it.

Uh oh, Jones didn’t like my little man comment. Are you still taking night class at TAMU-CC?

P Chem 1 or 2

Dudes were making 20s in that class and highs on some of the exams were like 45.

I'm about halfway done with a computer science degree and so far, calculus is still the hardest thing I've taken. Some of my friends think I'm crazy but it was just harder for me. And I do well in math.

calculus was tough for me too. it's just.. different. in the same way organic chemistry is different from general chemistry.

Yea man I'm taking night classes at Texas a&m community college.

Says the guy with a poli sci degree from lsu that couildnt get into law school.

Dunno why you want to get into an education contest with me.
