Coping Skills in High School
They took us to some state prisons to show us what happens when you don't know how to cope.

Hardest is Materials science. I keep getting owned by midterms. Going to get a C in that class . It just doesn't click like the chemistry does (Thermo and the Organics).
. It just doesn't click like the chemistry does (Thermo and the Organics).I spent like 16 straight hours in the lab finishing an assembly project, couldnt even leave for food I was so desperate to finish. Ran it into the computer sci dept to have the secretary time stamp it and put it in the prof's mail box. The drop dead deadline was 5 pm. She said she had to mark it as late (it was like 5:06) and I about dropped a flying ninja kicked her in the face until she saw the angry mob of comp sci students forming behind me, all turning thier projects in too, so she marked us all as 5pm.Originally posted by: SoundTheSurrender
Assembler Mainframe programming.
I had to drop it
8 hours just to do an assignment for me and I never could finish them.

I use diff eq all the time in my 2nd year engineering classes.

Oh, I was told it levels out. so calc 3 is just as hard as calc 2...
I had a 3.6GPA in calc 2, 2.1GPA in calc 3
I took it for summer school, same professor as calc 2. The community college students made their own little curve while the students returning from other universities to retake the course made their own higher curve. Oh I tried to study on my own too, and I did. But in the end I guess it didn't work out.
Civil Procedure I and II:
Add 2 parts boring material
mix in 2 parts dreadful professor who evidently hated his sudents
throw in handfuls of 3-hour PowerPoint presentations
Bake on 500 for 3 months
= 25% of students retaking the class. Being a core 1L class it was a wake-up call for a lot of students. After the students who survived CPI came back for CPII the professor asked everyone to turn in their class outlines / exam study materials. Someone complained to the Dean and the CP professor told us other lawyers would eat our kids for breakfast. :roll:
Out of the students that made it through CPI only about 65% survived CPII. Thankfully I never needed that professor/class again.

Philosophy of biology....absolutely awful teacher, talked in a monotone that was mind-numbing. It was the only class I ever stopped going to and re-enrolled the next quarter with a different teacher. Usually if a class was bad I'd just drop it and not re-take it.
environmental technology II
The professor, who was a world-renowned acoustician, had to teach one class in order aid the architecture school in keeping accreditation. Trouble was, he was a horrible teacher. I remember tests getting passed out followed by an audible murmur..."Did he ever mention this stuff?....wtf?...was this in anything we read or saw...these problems aren't even in intelligible sentences...god he sucks...." I've never seen a TA, or a Dean, for that matter, apologize so much. And it happened year, after year, after year.
And on top of that, he smelled bad. no one sat in the front 10 rows.

High schoolE-It's no fun sitting around doing nothing. Now it's mandatory to give disabled students a specialized physical education class, at least in my old district.
Undergraduate: Psych 101-The professor was coming off of a very successful book tour and I guess he thought it would be interesting to test us like we were all psychology geniuses. I swear the tests were something straight out of Freud's or Jung's mind. A 62 percent average in an introductory class is ridiculous. Thank God for the curve.

chemistry or physics in high school
not that I didn't find the material interesting, I just had really bad teachers

freshman eng in college. not because i didn't like the course, but because the professor was a total creepy perv.
if i wasn't so naive at the time i would've reported him.

"Critical thinking" and "Ethnic and Woman's studies" (I am an EE).
Critical thinking was "analyzing passages for "arguments" and Ethnic and Woman's studies was very vague and uninteresting.

Bridge to abstract math. Basically discrete structures on crack... There are close second places too...
Comparative Politics because of the teacher. But the only actually painful class was Women in Politics. I even had to write a 10 page report on the role of women in German politics and my reference material was Women In The Politics of Post Communist Eastern Europe
