I have an Enlgish degree, so I didn't take anything that most people regard as "hard" as far as math/sciences go. Still, those were the courses that required the most effort from me.

Criticism is one that everyone dreaded (we needed it to graduate), but I adored it. I got lucky though and got a fantastic teacher, who I ended up having again for my capstone course. The other Criticism teachers were horrible.

People in my Syntax/Linguistics classes seemed to really struggle, but while it was challenging, I really loved it.



Weird how different people 'get' different things.

Seriously? Those are not that hard at all. I loved derivatives.


Everyone is different.

I did well in intermediate but it didn't come as easy to me as it did to others. It required me to actually work for it. I still puke in my mouth when I think of amortization tables and pensions.

And for financial derivatives, I really enjoyed the subject matter and I did well. I didn't enjoy my foreign professor who couldn't explain what was going through his head. Very smart guy just didn't have the aptitude to break it down for people who weren't already on that level of understanding.

Maybe Financial Econometrics. Wasn't really that hard though. It was graded on a pretty heavy curve.

Me personally, Spanish followed by any class that involved math. Organic chemistry 2 is considered the hardest class at uga.

P Chem. Had J Hop and a 20 point grading scale so I managed a B. But man, I've never had material blow my mind like learning basic quantum chemistry. Friggin' particles and their damn boxes.

Personally for me, it was Calc 2.

Although a lot of people in my class felt that Circuits 2 and Electronics 2 were worse.

Yeah, those shits are assholes.

That would make any class hard. I almost failed Finance 389 because I couldn't understand my Japanese professor.

Having a foreign professor didn't help you catch on any faster either.

Upper level finance class, mostly bc the teacher was awful, he was never at class, we never knew what was going on and the tests were just brutal

Biology for biology majors. There are things my mind is meant to be good at, and biology is not one. A's in physics, and a D i studied hard for in Bio.
