Statistics!

First semester had about 25 people in it. 2nd semester, only 4. Policy was, there wasn't enough to make a class but they made an exception because we needed it for our major. On the final, there were 4 questions. We could use a cheat sheet, both sides, anything we thought would help could be written on it, and a calculator. 1 hour 35 minutes to complete..............

I couldn't finish the entire test......Still passed!

It was a computer science class at LSU where the examples in the lecture were say, level one. And the actual graded assignments were level ten. No help whatsoever on the assignments.

My worst was philosophy. Not because of the content. But the professor looked like 70s Richard Pryor (fro and all), but was the most slow talking, boring person I've ever met. And it was at 7 am. Staying awake was torture.

Hardest - International Food Trade Theory. Was also a favorite class and one I was completely engaged in

Worst - Climate Change. I needed an easy elective to graduate and took an online course about climate change thinking I could bs my way thru. Lady was a complete loon, and I’d never had so much homework in a class before (it was all making posters and psa commercials and modules that had hours of videos...). I quit “going” to my online class halfway through because I was taking 23 credit hours and my other grades were being negatively affected. I decided I would take an elective over summer and graduate then with my Agbusiness degree if she failed my arse over a frickin global warming class. I got an email from her the afternoon before graduation saying she notified the Ag college via email that I had failed her course. Unbeknownst to her, the Business college offers an Agbusiness degree for students focusing on trade theory (there were maybe 20 kids total in it,including me). Strolled into th auditorium the next day and picked up my degree from the Business college (I was a little nervous with my family there that my name wasn’t getting called).

I fricked up and took Physics, Calculus, and Chemistry classes at AU instead of at a community college. They all sucked royally. I did appreciate my Geology classes there though. I would have appreciated them all if I were going into engineering, but I wasn't. Hell, what doesn't kill or fail you only makes you stronger, right?

statistics really made me mad. I tried to drop the course with the W the advisors told me I had. Turned out that they had lied. I didn't have a W available. So I was forced to try to show up and take the exam and of course failed it. That tanked my GPA causing me to lose my TOPS. I had to appeal to get it back.

I still haven't a clue about heat transfer, made the mistake of taking ChE instead of ME version.

I had a Geology class that kicked my arse, mainly because the woman that taught it was a fricking count.

Did you take Pathogenics with him as well or did you stop with Immunology/Serology? I didn't find the lectures so bad, but the lab portions sucked. And he was such an egotistical jackass.

Worst- Biomechanics. Physics and anatomy are prerequisites and our teacher was Canadian so I we heard “eh” after every single word.

Hardest- Probably neuro motor control.

Nope. Changed my major. Wanted to go to law school, but was pushed toward medicine by my dad, a hospital administrator. After immunology, I called dad and told him it wasn't going to happen.

Agreed as to Siebeling being an a-hole. Not a bad professor, but an egotistical arse.

I think it was called indeterminate structures. I know it was about structures and I never could figure out what the hell was going on.
