What's the hardest college course you've ever taken?

[KatLei]

Digital electronics... Transistors EVERYWHEREEEEE!!! AIIEEEEE!!!!! don't let them take mee......

 

[edro]

Analog Signal Processing....

 

[zbalat]

Chaos Theory/Fractal Geometry will make your head explode. I took this class for fun but dropped it because I was so lost and I was a math major.

 

[Woodie]

Stats: Design and Analysis of Experiments or something like that.

Didn't realize it was a graduate-level class until I was in it (I was undergrad at the time). Switched to auditing the class to save my GPA.

I could follow what the instructor did on the board, but as soon as I tried it by myself, I was TOTALLY lost. Very frustrating.

Principles of Communication Sytstems

 

[amishhonda]

chemical analysis I, I was lost pretty much the whole time and still managed a C-

 

[Anubis]

Electrodynamics & Plasmas

 

[tigerbait]

After completing my degree in EE, I'd have to say the class that gave me the most trouble was the speech class we had to take.

Out of my EE courses, "Linear systems and signals" and "Machine analysis and adjustable speed drives" were about as fun as a groin pull, but that was more because of miserable teachers than genuinely hard material.

All tough classes are only as tough as the professor makes them. When someone says "That stuff is easy.", it is becasue they had a slacking professor with take home exams or something.

Amen, brother!

That class was a b*tch all three times I took it.

As gay as it sounds.... History of Dinosaurs was my hardest class yet. The teacher taught the class as if we were all wanting to be palentologists, yet the course was a undergrad general elective...

LOL!

 

Definitely EECS 183 - Intro to Computer Programming. It was the first time I'd ever seen or learned a programming language, and it was TOUGH. I escaped with a C- in that class, but luckily, I took it Pass/Fail.

Probably Japanese classes... it wasn't hard to get a decent grade, but MAN, THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

On top of the workload...
JAP101: 8-9AM M-F, Freshman year... on the other campus (from the dorms) 2.5 miles away. UGH.

 

[loup garou]

hmm...Chem II was a PITA for me, but it was my own fault since I never went.

Client/Server DB Design w/ Oracle was probably the hardest, because the professor went waaaay past the scope of the course. On the first day, he set his own prereq's for the course--3 courses that were not listed as prereq's in the course catalog. No one in the class had taken all three! I stuck with it, though (because I needed it to graduate that summer) and ended up getting an A.

Circuits was hard for me as well, I don't know why, it seemed simple enough, I could just never do well on the exams...

 

[Shelly21]

Course that I knew was hard: Organic Chem

Course that I thoguht was easy but turned out to be a difficult course: Greek Mythology

 

[visgf]

It's a toss up between genetics (with the most anal retentive prof I've ever had) and my pharmacology classes. In comparison, my organinc chem was a cake walk.

 

[rgwalt]

Organic was tough. Inorganic was tougher. I think the most difficult courses I've ever taken were the three I had second semester of my first year in grad school. Graduate reactions, graduate thermo, and graduate transport.

They owned me.

calc

 

[Zombie]

For me it was a toss up between

OPL (Organization of Programing languages)
&
Logic Design

both of them would have been easy if it wasn't for the insane professors teaching them

 

[AstIsis]

Everything had always been easy up till my Senior year in College. I took Human Dissection...all of us thought we had died and gone to hell!

 

[MaxDepth]

Women 101

had to retake it every year I was at school. still don't know if I learned anything...

 

[Kanalua]

Jurisprudence - Political Science 452
Dr. Noel Reynolds

 

[RossGr]

Any one of a Grad level Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis or Thermal Physics.

BTW: P.Chem <> Quantum Mechanics. While some Quantum is presented in P. Chem you do not get the full story, yes, I have taken both.

 

[clamum]

German 101 (sophmore in college), only because I didn't study. In high school it was probably Biology for the same reason as before.
