I've had multiple test averages come in below 40 for the class. They've always curved my engineering classes at the end though
Eta: Had one this semester and the class average was a 27

Nah. The weed out class was bio 1201 
More than half of the freshman think they are gonna come in and be doctors and the half of them fail intro to bio
Biochem wasn't that bad. I honestly haven't taken a science class that I thought was overly hard but I also avoided the harder ones in undergrad lol

This is a grade distribution for ME 2334, thermodynamics. LINK I remember seeing this graph on universitytools.com, back when the site was big and I was in college. A lot of people were talking about how hard thermodynamics was and how many people failed it..well they were right
I'm sure there are harder upper level classes, but the people taking those have already passed the weed out classes.

I struggled badly with Phys 2102

Some old crotchety frick taught us that class. He bragged about how his tests were on par with Ivy league exams and he'd curve our grades so nobody would fail.
My hardest class was Int 2 Accounting.

ChemE Thermodynamics was the worst. And we had to take it for two semesters.

I enjoyed both Che thermo classes. 
One was with Wetzel of course so there's that.
Duley's unit ops still gives me nightmares. I remember that final. I needed 6 points to get a C and I handed it in thinking that I might not have gotten 6. Had to have been a graduate level final. That fricker was a monster

Moorthy is very fair. I took a quiz and realized I made one simple mistake at the beginning that threw off all of my numbers. Right before time was up I wrote him an explanation, wrote how my mistake affected my calculations and how that impacted my results. He could tell I knew my stuff and gave me half of a point back. Got a 9.5 out of 10

I feel like once you got that far the people in it were staying in it. First couple bios IMO is what sent people over to kinese or out of science entirely.
Developmental Zoology with Dr. Lynn and Parasitology with Dr. Farrar were the only true hard classes I took as a biology major. And those closest thing to med school classes, though they still didn't really come close

Although there were several engineering classes that were extremely difficult and nearly broke me, I still learned the material and got a C at absolute worst a few times. There was a 4000 level math I took as a technical elective. It was called advanced calculus or something. No real traditional math work, just writing proofs using theorems and crap. I honestly was lost (partly due to the Japanese teacher and partly because it was just that difficult). I could teach myself everything else in college. Could not grasp this stuff. Made a C, but that was probably just given to me. I don't think I got one answer correct the entire semester.

How does anybody fail a class like that? if you're struggling to keep up a C average in the first month of class, you're unlikely to have an epiphany after midterm. Drop it like it was an inland taipan and take it some other time. Gotta be a strategic thinker about these things.

I'm orientation they tell people that W's are really bad.
They also tell all the engineers that physics 2101 is the hardest class ever. I don't know where they find those people.

PHYS 2101 wasn't bad, but 2102 was a force (ha ha ha get it) to be reckoned with. Towards the end of the semester they start throwing random subjects at you that have no seeming connection to each other. I was so mad that I got a C in that class because I went into the final with a B and lost it.

I thought 2102 was pretty cool.
Posted on 12/14/14 at 2:22 pm to GregMaddux
I think if I could go back and take it now, after I've really learned how to study, it would be easier for me. I really got those study habits down in the last year and a half. I used to think I could skate by doing a lot less, but that didn't get me A's.

I wasn't an A student, and heard how hard 2101/2 were, so I studied a lot and made an A in 2101. I had an A in 2102...until the final exam, when, at 3:30 in the afternoon while studying, I realized the exam started at 3, not 5.. the horror of rushing into lockett hall an hour late. So embarrassing and it dropped me to a B.

Nice. I went to Jai a lot when I first started out in engineering, but at some point I realized that I was relying on him too much. When I quit going to him and actually started studying really hard and working zillions of problems, that's when I went from being a B student occasionally making C's to an A student occasionally making B's.

I'm sure some upper level physics courses deserve mentioning. I found PHYS 2102 to be the toughest non-ChE course I took. The toughest ChE course I took was Unit Ops though. Dooley prides himself on being an a-hole. The course has a 15 point grading scale though so that compensates somewhat for the difficulty. Still, out of a class of more than 70, only 1 person received an A the semester I took it.

Data Warehousing and SAS Programming were not easy courses.
