Hardest and most interesting class you took in college

Hardest was probably strengths.

Most interesting was hydrology I guess. Not really many interesting classes in a civil engineering curriculum.

HARDEST- BIOMECHANICS OF EXERICSE PHYSIOLOGY - GRADUATE LEVEL

MOST INTERESTING - None really stick out

Most interesting were the U.S. history classes that I took. I had some good professors I thought. That stuff is my wheelhouse anyways, so it would take a lot for me to not enjoy those classes.

I stink at math beyond basic algebra, so I guess most difficult would have been math classes and the sciences that rely heavy on the math. I did okay in biology, so-so in chemistry, but shitty at physics.

Hardest was translating Beowulf from old English to modern.

Most interesting was Alternatives to Judeo-Christian Thought after growing up Southern Baptist.

Chemical Engineer at LSU.

Hardest and most interesting were the same. Heat and Mass Transfer with Louis J Thibodeaux. He was an amazing teacher.

I came to find later in life he was also an amazing man. My wife and I ended up at a party with him. Someone asked how it was to be married to the same woman for 50 years. His response is something that my wife and I both have reflected on frequently.

He said while he’d been married to the same woman that he’d been married to at least 3 or 4 different people over that time so it was always something interesting and novel. That insight has helped my wife and I through some very difficult and dark times in our own relationship over the years (10+ married, 20+ together).

Hardest class I took was Electrical Engineering.

Most interesting class was Assembly Language. My assembly language professor was a genius Korean guy that used to be a Compiler Engineer for Samsung.

Most interesting: Louisiana history taught by Tommy Carlton.

Carlton's professor was none other than T. Harry Williams, the foremost authority on Huey Long.

Fantasy literature: Read and 'studied' fantasy novels. Everybody in that class could have taught that course.

Hardest: Intro to Psychology: The professor stuttered. And what made it worst it was it was in a big class with 400+ students.

I was a computer science major. Either Programming Languages or Compiler Design. Both were taught by the same professor at ULL that seemed intent on torturing us with insane amounts of theory and/or obscure programming languages that had no true application in the real world. Database design & E-Commerce were the most interesting to me at the time and probably had the most real world applications in my career thus far.

Most interesting: US History 1 or Poli Sci. Both had awesome professors which made the class exciting and fun.

Same here. Shout-out to Gaines Foster at LSU. He was a great lecturer for US History. I was "meh" going into the first one, but he made it so interesting that I made a point to take his class for the second one. I took notes for 90 minutes straight til my hands fell off, yet still enjoyed the class.
