The Hardest Class You Ever Had

['Hamas' Jenkins]

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.

I can remember taking my first Java class and there were a few of those double nutter questions (recursive algorithm in Java 100) but other than that I thought it was way simpler than the JavaScript\Functional programming languages that have taken over. I'd take Java any day over ES5 closure insanity that is modern web development.

I was surprised at the sheer amount of s' I had to go through in Statistics. Calc and Calc II were challenging but the boat load of material my Stats class went through was out of control. I remember taking the mid term, driving to the grocery store, and walking around like a zombie in search of 12% blackout stout.

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.

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.

I'd have to say "religious history"

That class was insanely interesting, but throwing all of those theologies into 1 semester was unfair, both to the students and the religions

Any class that does not interest you will seem difficult.

I was not interested in art history. It was quite easy.

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

You are a god, sir!!!

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Accounting II and finance. Everything else was alright.

[O.city]

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.
