I took that class. It was a very difficult class. 7:30 in the morning and he was a dick.

Back in early 90’s, toss up between differential equations, compiler theory, & thermodynamics.

After getting A’s and B’s in Calc 1-3 made a D first time taking DE with a Chinese professor couldn’t understand him at all.

Took a 2 year hiatus from school and came back cold (math builds) and got a B the second time taking it with a different prof that could articulate the English language. It was also most interesting due to real life applications like calculating time of death.

Hadn’t used all that math in a couple decades and lost it all, shame.

Senior year compiler theory was pretty difficult and interesting as well, having to write a C compiler from scratch in C.

Thermodynamics is what made me change majors from EE to CS.

I had the brilliant idea to take both this and Employment Discrimination by 3L year. Bombed both exams hard.

Hardest: Experimental Psychology - Writing out statistics, T Score, Z Score, Degrees of Freedom, Confidence Interval, ETC...subject matter was moderately difficult, but the professor was impossible.

Most Interesting: Forensic Psychology - Grad School

History of Cinema - obviously an elective. Learned a lot, but the Prof made the tests very hard.

Best class was baseball theory. Easy to getting to a 7am class when you talk baseball. Side note my mom thought military was better for me. Saved a lot of money.

Strengths was a fun class for me. I love that kind of stuff and was pretty good at it. Something that I can envision as physically being there or physically moving I do really well at.

It’s los why all the theoretical/abstract math and equations of electronics and computers really threw me through a loop.

Molecular Mammalian Genetics. The class was two tests that were 15% of the grade, and a project that was 70%. We basically had to write a grant proposal for research on something that had not been done yet. I probably spent 100 hours on that project. Detailed how I would splice mouse genes with color blindness and prove it worked.

I regret my college years. Never knew what I wanted to do, so I just stayed in the Business School. Thought about transferring to be a Biology major - which I did, and then immediately transferred back to Business literally the next day. The lady was very concerned for me and knew I was going through the typical college crisis.

I then wanted to be a Geography major because I love the subject, and convinced myself I would be a Geography teacher. After a 30 minute conversation with my dad about that and how little money I'd make - I never even attempted it.

So I graduated with a degree in Finance. Most of my classes were pretty easy, but I also made sure to avoid the really difficult professors. My lowest two grades were Bs in Microeconomics and Corporate Financial Analysis. No classes were really hard.. because I never challenged myself. Still regret at least not attempting to do Civil Engineering like I wanted to out of high school.

Easiest: EDCI 1001 at LSU. Helped rehabilitate many GPAs throughout the years.

I don't understand how they're allowed to have that as a class. I missed the first month of class and finished the semester with a 120%

Hardest: civil law property or obligations in law school. frick all that shite.

Also my worst 2 grades in law school. Just miserable fricking classes, especially as a 1L when you don't really know what you're doing.

I had never really paid attention to what was actually said vs what I thought was said.

Hardest: probably intro calc with a grad student teacher who would leave during tests to smoke bc he knew we couldn’t help each other anyway.

Most interesting: couple of senior level bios were all great. Best was parasitology with dr Farrar. Great teacher.
