What was the hardest class you ever took in College?

[Gatos]

Genetics....Hands down was the hardest class I evar took at UW-Madison

 

[flyboy84]

1)Intro to Logic and Set Theory
2)Particle Mechanics

 

[Kenny1234]

1) Organic chem took it first semester as a freshmen got an A though
2) Intro to Psychology

 

[JS80]

1) Econometrics
2) MCD Bio

 

[tfinch2]

1.) Discrete Math. Everyone said it was the pits, and it was. I managed an A though.
2.) Programming Languages. The professor was a dick about details and made everything twenty times harder than what it really should have been. With any other professor I would have made an A, but got a B.

 

[SeaMonki]

1) Organic Chemistry
2) Evolution Biology

 

[KillerCharlie]

1) Aerodynamics I
2) Religion in America

 

[Ophir]

1) Tie between chemical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. Both required.

2) Econ 101. Thought it would be a breeze and never went to class, ended up barely pulling a C.

 

[Vinfinite]

1) Organic Series
2) BioChemistry Oh god that ****** is a b*tch

intro to econ classes are usually crappy. They just tell story and do a lot of magic hand weaving. I didn't learn crap on my two introduction micro and macro classes.

1) I personally avoid classes that I know it will be too hard or far out of my rank.

2) This I come across often, Intro to psychology, differential equation, multivariable calc.

 

[Neurorelay]

Introduction to Cellular Biology...the weeding out course for the science majors.

 

[daveshel]

Criminal Procedure

 

[BlueFlamme]

1) Linear Systems was the hardest I could think of (maybe emag), neither stand out very well tho
2) Chemistry (I thought I could sail by on what I learned in HS)

 

[Phlargo]

Mmmm.. Anthro 404 - Comparative Social Organization. Forkin' Spoon.

 

[statik213]

1) Compiler Theory and Design
2) Intermediate Statistics

what did you design?

a house for Madam X she had many specifications we had to follow. had to build the whole thing out of museum board. i had a word associated with my design. it was BOLD, and the house had to reflect the word. i had it easy. hehe some peoples words where like tenacious. hehe, he had a tough time, but good thing he was tenacious at it.

 

[mephiston5]

Organic Chem
Genetics
and believe it or not, health care marketing

 

[archiloco]

oh and the easy course was photography II, i thought it was going to kick my butt (cuz photography I was tough as hell).

 

[Reckoner]

Statistics ll

 

[Random Variable]

electromagnetism

 

[Noirish]

I took a Greek mythology class too thinking it would be interesting and easy. I hated that class because the prof wanted us to memorize every family connection there ever was between all the mortals and immortals. Being held to the minutiae took all the fun out of reading the myths.

 

[Squisher]

Egyptian Hieroglyphics

I thought it would be a hoot for a language credit. It was the last class I took in my failed college education.
