Hardest class you have ever taken?

In college, it was called History of the U.S after 1877. It was for a gen ed requirement, and it was a 100 level course. But holy..it was hard, we met MWF and had a full chapter to know know each time. We were quizzed on minute details of each chapter. Midterm and final, both of which had a paper component, also there were two book reviews. I am almost done with 2nd year, and have done 300 levels in my major classes, but none have matched that class. I ended up with a B-.

Every class that I've found hard was because of the professor. But the hardest class from what I'm told is business and econ statistics.

So far either Ancient Greek Philosophy or Calculus I. Both very interesting, engaging, and highly time consuming.

Advanced C Programming and we were not allowed to use a computer. Eveyrthing had to be written on paper.

I think A.P. U.S. History is the only challenging course I've taken so far. A.P. Chem next year though should be hard as well. LZ71

Functions, Statistics and Trigonometry that I'm currently in.

Visual Basic... I basically blagged it. The programming unit was required to pass the course, I "completed" the assignment within minutes of it being internally verified. The program didn't work but the evaluation was just so awesome and the tutor never checked to see if it would run that I passed anyway.

I passed a 2 year course by 10 minutes. Minimalism at it's finest.

Hours upon hours of reading and re-reading lol.

intro chem 1. I have done intro chem ii and o-chem, but nothing can match that class, probably just cuz of prof though. Got 33 on first midterm, 45 on second and I ended up with a c- :P

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="MiloZEgamer34"] Ancient Greek Philosophy sounds awesome and intriguing

Medievil monks/scholars had to memorize all 200-something possible syllogisms in order to pass their exams :!:

Calculus 2.

Structural geology and Calc I. Structure gave me at least 10-20 lab hours a week, and we had to use crappy computer programs where if you screwed one thing up, you had to go back and redo the whole thing. Insane amounts of homework and the hardest exams I've ever taken for any undergrad class. How I managed to BS my way through that class to get a B I'll never know.

Calc I seemed easy with teacher's notes, but textbook problems were nothing like what he showed us in class. I either got D's or low C's on my exams and I totally failed the final exam, but I barely managed to get a C.

I have a feeling my fall semester classes are going to be a nightmare. Planetary geology with one of the worst professors in the department...I won't be surprised by how this whole class turns out.

C Programming...I could't pass it.

AP U.S. history in 10th grade. Not only was the class very difficult but the teacher didn't seem to like me at all.

That's all they had when I went to the college I went to.

High School Chemistry... I had like a 65%, just barely passing, then struck a goldmine when the teacher called me retarted, andadministration raised my grade 9 points. Long story there, but a good one.

In college... Probably Aural Skills (Im a music major). I cant sight-read worth crap.

Science 10

1-2 hours of homework everyday and the course was absolutely packed so the teacher couldn't help everybody. I don't know how that course is in America but as somebody who is about a B average student and lives in Canada it was insanely difficult for me. I'm not sure if the course varies from province to province either but the teacher told us at the beginning of the semester that it had the most work out of all the highschool courses and that he didn't expect everybody to pass the first time.

I believe the ****average was around 55% and I ended up getting a 50% average with the work and had to pass the final exam to pass the course, which I did but barely. I'm now in Earth Science 11 and it's much easier, I'm getting A's and B's. It didn't help being 2 years behind in the course either due to not completing it the semester before so I forgot a lot of the concepts from science 9.

I'm supposed to be graduating this year too.....which I won't sadly.

Dude objects and multi-class programs that you gotta do in introductory programming in Java is way harder than the introductory course in C. I've already done C and its a joke in comparison to this crap im doing right now.

Right now im struggling with Digital Systems the most though. Its easy in the begining but Registers are really messed up.

Probably Grade 12 chem. And not so much because of the actual work, but the teacher.However organic chemistry went right over my head. I tried and tried and tried to understand that but just...didn't.

I enrolled in a single French class during college.

The very first week the professor started speaking to the class only in French. The first week, after having absolutely no prior knowledge of the language. Not only that, every day we had to get up in front of the class and have our skills tested, and there was a rediculous amount of homework, and a ton of lab work to do.

It was a general requirement, I had no intention of learning the language seriously. I dropped it the third week.

Business Statistics and Taxation. What's bad about taxation (aside from the complicated rules) is that the professor doesn't really teach the course. She makes us read the chapters (which are roughly 60 pgs each) and do the homework on our own without any guidance. It sucks because there are so many rules to follow as to what you can deduct, how much of it you can actually deduct, and at what year it must be deducted, etc. (thanks a lot Congress!!)
