The Hardest Class You Ever Had
 

I just finished up my coursework for the semester. While Organic I was a comparative breeze, Organic II was a bitch. Honestly, the tests were more of a monster than the actual course load.

Here were the grade breakdowns (all tests were MC):

80-100-A
62-79-B
46-61: C
40-46: D

While the baseline material itself wasn't exceptionally difficult, there were so many exceptions to the rules, and exceptions to exceptions, that the tests ended up as absolute minefields.

With that said, I've heard even worse things about Biochem, and I'm sure that those of you with or pursuing advanced Math/Science degrees have had nightmare courses as well.

What class was it that kicked your ass the hardest?

Java Programming

I can code in PHP/HTML/SQL all day. For some reason, Java is a massive asspain.
Managed a B grade, but oof.....I still suck at Java.

HONORABLE MENTION: Accounting I or II

I still can't believe I went through two of those courses and came away with zero knowledge and a passing grade. Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable....blah blah blah, holy shit did those classes suck.

Not sure any course has kicked my ass so far, but I'm still working on undergrad courses. I guess Composition classes for the time invested and the fact that I don't give a **** about writing papers.

Calculus. It was the ONLY class in my university career that I had to keep up with every day. Graduated with a Chemistry major and biology minor

Accounting II and finance. Everything else was alright.

Microbial metabolism and physiology sucked. Virology was pretty difficult.

Inorganic chemistry though, by far, was my worst

I had a tough time with o chem.

Any class that involved math, nearly reeruned when it comes to math.

But I did have the best grade out of 30+ people on my Psych 101 final in community college, the professor told me that, it was probably 2/3 adults in that night class... pretty proud of that.

My right brain is like a walnut, but my left is on roids.

For me, it was either Applied Econometrics or Advanced Linear Algebra. Frankly, I wasn't prepared for the Econometrics course. If I took it now, it wouldn't be nearly as hard. My math skills were not where they needed to be for the theoretical portion of that class. It didn't help that the prof made us use possibly the most antiquated statistical software for the applied part either.

Advanced Linear just had some brutal proofs.

I hated calculus. just hated it

I just found it to be more of a PITA than anything. Finding a common factor for huge problems using the quotient rule was just mind-numbing.

I just wasn't good at it and had to work hard in it.

I have an close friend that's a mechanical engineer who's just a Calc wiz

Semen Calculus. Try to figure out how many sperms are in 100 mil semen when they're all moving 100 mph.

I'm the exact oppposite. All the research is a bitch, but I feel much more satisfaction after finishing an English comp paper compared to some bullshit Philosophy paper.
