I was going to say, Organic or Quantitative Chemistry as well...Toxicology would be a close 3rd.

Organic chemistry. Instructor who did no instructing. She just gave assignments, and graded papers. No help whatsoever. I got through it though.

It'd be toss-up between Ag Chemicals, Weed Science and Ecology, and Agricultural Finance.

I agree. I'm currently taking a survey course in quantum mechanics at UNC-Asheville, College for Seniors. The instructor has said that QM is easy to understand, just hard to believe.

Intermediate II or Auditing (magnified by taking both plus Cost and Governmental in the same semester).

My main problem with thermo is that you had to figure out so many GD values before you could begin to solve the problems. My brain got fried before I could start actually working the problems, and you don't have time to take a break and regroup

Hardest final I ever took was from a dick of a professor in a micro computer applications class that was essentially mid level Microsoft Office. No one should have had to open a book and the professor made sure we read every page.

The final exam asked questions between various versions of Microsoft Office like. (i.e. changes from Excel 2003 and Excel 2007). Also had questions like listing all ways to Copy/Cut/Paste/etc. Turns out theres some antiquated numberpad shortcut combinations for users without QWERTY keyboard.

I started an econometrics class but dropped it. I hated it.

Calculus is high school is probably still my hardest class. The workload the teacher put on us was absurd although she was awesome. Mrs. Patout for those that went to CHS BR.

I learned the hard way this semester that anatomy, physics, and biology are not three subjects you want to schedule simultaneously.

Anatomy's structure and content has been one of the most insufferable things ever. It has nothing to do with comprehension, logic, or critical thinking, but everything to do with sheer volume of material you are required to learn.

Seven exams in one semester and no other component for your grade (e.g. quizzes, essay, etc.). Study guides for each exam are at minimum 12-15 pages long. frick...that...shite.

+1 on organic! i managed to earn a C despite only being able to regurgitate back to the prof 50-something percent of the material correctly.
analytical chem was pretty easy for me

Not as hard as calc 2. To me that bitch was the worst. I did well at strange classes tho. For example, electronics 1 & 2 came easy to me, but I struggled at circuits 2 and digital logic. Personally I think I lucked out on my professors for controls and fields because I hardly remember those classes at all except that they weren't all that challenging. But controls I specifically remember the prof being suuuper easy.
