Toughest Class You Ever Took?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Mine would still have to be honors chemistry in my junior year of high school. The teacher was an old and ruthless MIT graduate, who never amounted to much so I guess he had to take it out on the students. I scrapped by with a low grade that I thought would essentially ruin my chances of getting into a great school.

The next year I took regular physics and did so well that I earned my only trophy in the science fair that year Sure, I got other awards before, but trophies are just so cool.

Once I got to college everything was so much easier by comparison to that course.

Legal Writing and Researching...

I was always a straight A-ish student in undergrad. Never cracked above a C+ in that one.

Keyboarding. I could type 70+ words a minute when I got in there. But I got chewed out by the teacher for backspacing (the program allowed it, plus it's always been natural to me), and for not having perfect posture.

Two years later she was shocked when she saw me typing 120+ words a minute in my accounting class as that teacher had taken over some of the keyboarding classes. She said I should take keyboarding as I was a natural. I looked at her blankly and said "I already did... you failed me."

Oddly enough, easiest class I had was Gov't & Economics (honors social studies). We spent months on end watching The Daily Show every day.

Biology in a I think tenth grade? I don't think it would have been half as bad if the teacher could actually teach instead of jumping subjects. He'd make a joke then go back into his lecture, then back into some random story. They were funny and entertaining but every single class was like this. Looking back at that class and that teacher makes me want to go find him and chew him out for being a horrible teacher. Just imagine Raven teaching Biology and you get this guy. Except minus the cool ring stories.

AP Calculus in my senior year of high school, really hard for me because at the point in life I was very down on myself and it was the only class I've ever failed. It wasn't the work, it was just the motivation.

Architectural Studio 1

Class for that was 3 hours a day, 4 days a week (in addition to all your other courses, including calculus based physics, chemistry for engineers, and all those good classes that make straight A students flee in terror for their GPA). You had to spend at least 5x that in studio to crack a C. My final was two parts, a drawing and a model. I spent 72 hours straight up on the drawing, and was hallucinating at the end of it.

College Algebra. Withdrew once, and failed it two times after. If I wanted an associates degree, that would be the only class i'd have to take. Fortunately, I am going after my Bachelor's in English/Writing and am at a 3.0.

Anatomy and Physiology in the Zoo Biology course I'm currently doing.

I had it today and I didn't understand a damn thing that was said. I might as well have not turned up

I seem to manage okay on everything else, it's just this nonsense goes right over my head.

Macrobiology.

Think of an Anatomy & Physiology class, only more in-depth. I had to work my ass off just to get a B in that class.

Me too on the failing college algebra part, dropped it once failed it twice, finally passed it in August of 2003 with an A, and got out of college with my Associates Degree in General Business.

The Criminal Justice class I took during my first year of University. Just barely managed an A- for that one.

AP Calc was hard too, especially the AP test, because we only covered HALF THE DAMN MATERIAL.

Introduction To Political Thought. Trying to decipher the Federalist Papers, Mill, Foucault, Arkes, Wittgenstein etc. Just torture.

whatever the hell my social studies class was my sophomore year of college. It was just lecture. Every single day from 10-10:50 and when 10:50 came he'd just stop and pick it up from the exact point on the outline he left off. I didn't know til after the first exam that he basically expected us to add every single word he said to each outline point along with knowing every line of our books.

Got out with a C- and didn't even care. I got a higher grade in Chemistry for majors, a class I shouldn't have even been in but my stupid advisor signed me up for the wrong class.
