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

I had a teacher that pretty much taught from the Wall Street Journal for Fin 414. It was great

So far it's Circuits. The subject matter wasn't hard but dammit those tests were fricking computer based multiple choice! That damn Rabalais. I wanna shite on his head because of those tests.

Diff eq 1 and 2. Got a D in the first one, and I think the teacher had a typo for the second one because I easily failed it, but got a B.

If there is anyone in the world who likes differential equations, punch them in the nards for me. I still haven't found one

Calculus at 7:30 am with some polock who later got fired for failing 90% of his classes.



I took Calculus with a Polish guy, freshman year at LSU too. I made an A but I also took it in high school so it wasn't new to me.


My toughest course was organic chem I with some a-hole that ended up getting fired and all of us getting a letter grade bump because he was so awful. Parasitology was also pretty dam difficult too.

Differential Equations....

Subject isn't exactly easy and we had a foreign teacher we could barely understand. Bad combination.

Physical Chemistry. Quantum mechanics is some abstract material in and of itself but when you are required to understand the math and derive the equations that define the material, it was overwhelming at times.

The next hardest courses were definitely Thermo and Reaction Kinetics.

Mammalian Physiology under Dr. Lawrence Witt.

It was taught on the level of Medical/Dental School students.

It was THE weed out course for students with ideas of postgraduate work.

Circuits 1 by far. Back in 2004 it wasn't computer based. That makes me feel old. Also taught by Jorge aravena. May god rest his soul. The hardest dam teacher I had in college. Taught me a lot though.

Anything not in the cm curriculum has sucked. Mostly because the gen Ed's require a little work and the test are in the testing center

Hardest - Organic Chemistry because I had a shitty instructor and zero interest.
Toughest - Biochemistry (at UNO). While my friends at LSU were taking multiple choice tests in Biochem, we were taking essay tests. Great instructor (Dr. Welch) and we really LEARNED the material. After taking that course, I breezed through Biochem at LSU Dental School and won the award for top student in Biochem.

Dr Robert Tague's Anthropology class was one of the toughest, yet still my favorite class at LSU. He would start class every day with "It's a wonderful day for anthropology"... And most of the time, he was correct. But damn that class got hard.
