Physical chemistry on the other hand...frick that shite.
Agreed, the 2nd semester PChem - Chem 3492 covering quantum mechanics is in the running. It made some of my classmates switch from chemical engineering to petroleum engineering and business.
Che 4198 - Process Dynamics with Dr. Rice with only a mid-term and final was a tough one.

I've taught about 20 college classes. In most cases (and if you are teaching at a decent school), if your students are failing, it is because you aren't doing your job.

I believe that LSU's engineering department still targets a 2.75 for the overall grade distribution.

Message Posted by Haydel My vote: Math 4038
I had a fair teacher and ended up with an A in this class, so I can't necessarily call it the hardest I took, but man, this was definitely the most out-there, complex material I was ever exposed to at LSU. I could see it being impossible with the wrong teacher.
Honestly, I thought Physics 2102 was the hardest class I took, even more so than Thermo and other tough engineering courses.

Fluids with Dr. Wong was hell. The man prided himself on how many F's he could give. He actually told us in class one day that he didn't care if the university thought he taught the material wrong or failed too many people, he was smarter than them.
A dark horse for me would be Differential Equations with Boris Rubin. Started with 40+ and only 3 of us took the final. One of us got an A, one got a B and I got a C without ever making over a 40 on anything. We never did any math.... Every test question was a proof. It was awful.

Fluid Mechanics or Simulation Methods...started the semester with 48 of us, ended with 7.

4000 level - Mokeba. It's not really the subject matter as much as trying to figure out the best way to answer his questions

Strengths (CE 3400) was probably my hardest class, but I've never taken a class at LSU that I was even close to being fearful of failing. Physics 2102 was kind of difficult but not in retrospect compared to some classes I took afterwards.
Based on my friends' complaints, I would say fluids or heat transfer are up there. I have never been in a class where test averages were in the 30s or 40s to my recollection.

I smoked CE 3400. Got crowned prince by the teacher (Dr. Abu Al-rub)

That's who I had for MATH 4038. Dude was a trip.

Che grad here and the hardest was unit operations.
Just took Dooley's final and my God it was hard. Definitely toughest class in ChE. And anyone who says Organic Chem just thinks time spent memorizing reactions = hard.

Nice. I will hopefully get a B in the class. But I have good ole Suresh Moorthy 
Posted on 12/14/14 at 12:06 pm to When in Rome
I had at least two classes with Moorthy. Strange guy with lots of weird mannerism and ticks. He used to stare at the ceiling when he would talk to classes, but he's gotten better. Overall, he was a pretty fair teacher.

The most important goal of this course is to teach the method of separation of variables in linear partial differential equations
Sounds tough, but you run into this stuff in ChE 4151 (unit operations) and 4190 (reactor design and kinetics) all the time. Unit ops gets my vote.

Although I never took it, I saw the organic chemistry classes take some of the smartest, hardest working students I ever knew when I was at LSU and reduce them quivering globs of goo.
Scruffy hated it because the entire concept was retarded.

Physical Chemistry was hardest class I ever took. Gotta imagine it's up there.

Yea I thought that class was pretty easy. I had a great professor though.
The weed out class imo was biochem.
