Hardest class you've ever taken in HS/College?

Just wanted to hear from OT.

For me, it's Pre-Calculus.

AP Euro in high school. I hated history so much, don't even know why I took it. Also AP US History.

Didn't learn from the first class apparently.

Microbiology with Dr. Griffith :( Half the class failed and the majority that passed recieved a D. A good way to get rid of people?

Analytical Chemistry. Took it in HS. It was all Lab Reports, hands down hardest class I've ever taken because I wasn't very good at that.

Business and Econ Statistics in college.

Astronomy. Man, three lectures per week at 9:30am. It was hard to get up to goto those lectures.

I usually breeze through English courses, but History of the English Language was very difficult.

Chinese I, really difficult to learn hundreds of characters and the different tones.

The difficulty of a sociology course depends on the course. If it's just an intro sociology course, it should be easy. If it's a more specialized sociology course, it could be difficult.

On topic though, it's pre-calc so far. I've never been very good at math. SF_KiLLaMaN

I skipped AP Euro and took AP US the next year. About 5 days in I decided I'd get an A in the class but I would not pass the AP test. I would not study, I would just go take it in May. Got a 4. They definitely mixed up my exams. AP US is painfully boring. Can we get a real modern world history starting at 1945 to present please? I should not no more about the Native Americans than I do about JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Reagan. Tragically, I do. Waste of knowledge.

In high school, NONE

Well maybe French because i suck at it

I was genuine interested in history, chem, and other courses

Chinese I, really difficult to learn hundreds of characters and the different tones.

Currently learning Chinese :D at a really slow pace though. The dialect can be hard to pick up. I purchased a great book called:

Learning Chinese Characters published by Tuttle. Authors include: Alison Matthews and Laurence Matthews.

It uses a short story approach to each character to help remember pronunciation and their meaning. It has over 800 of the basic chinese charcters. I'm really enjoying it.

It is challenging

But in college they have a class for 1860s-current.

Calculus. I had to take a version of it in the Navy for the nuclear program (barely passed, but failed the final). Only because I vaguely remembered what I did back then was I able to get an A when I took it in college (and it still took 3 weeks for me to shake that s*** loose).

THANK YOU! All I ever hear is "you need to understand history to understand what is happening now" but we've done ancient world history, European world history, and American at least twice each and every one of them only gets to WWII if 5 years later. I swear to god its like their promoting the ignorance of the youth, because we're not going to understand a lot of current events without solid backround of the last 50 years.

Bio-Chem

English/Social Studies. I took AP World History in grade 11, and eventually just stopped handing in the essays because they weren't worth my time. I think the highest essay mark I got in that class was a 5/9 :P Don't know how I passed that class. That's the year I decided I hated humanities and decided engineering/science was my destiny.

In college, probably Chemistry. Although it turned out to be my best class in my first semester, Chemistry has never really clicked for me like math has.

In college? Aural skills 2 (music course) . I couldn't sight read worth a dime, and had to learn damn quick. It was so hard. (C+ woooo)

Probably chemistry/Biology/astronomy/Gym In highschool. The sciences are horrid, ugh, and I hate gym class.

AP Studio Art in 12th grade in high school, sadly I'm still taking it.. >_>

Anything Math related..Ronstera

Analytical Chemistry. Took it in HS. It was all Lab Reports, hands down hardest class I've ever taken because I wasn't very good at that.

didn't pay attention to any of the teachings my teacher did, me and my lab partner just did the labs and f*cked around with the bunsen burner

Grade 12 Law.

Not the content, the teacher was a man hating dyke She told us to find articles in the news related to law and do 2 page summaries on them each week. I handed mine in and got a zero. Asked why, she told me I could redo it until I did it right. I went home spent time redoing the paper, handed it in, she looked at it and gave it back with a zero. She told me to look at another guys and do it like his but I could keep redoing it until I did it right. Went home asked my parents what they thought, and they said it sounded fine. Handed it in, again zero and then she tells me it was because I never gave it a cover page.

I walked out of class went straight to guidance offices and told them to give me the forms to drop a class. They wouldn't. At the time I was 18 years old and you were allowed to sign yourself out. I told the lady I will sign out every day for that class then. Thats what I did. The dyke teacher would report me for skipping. I'd get called the the principle he'd ask me why I skipped. i explained how I signed out I didn't skip so he asked why I was signing out just for that class. Told him my story, he said come with me. Walked to the guidance office told them to sign the papers and walked with me to the class. Gave the papers to the teacher and said thank you.

I had another spare.

Quantum Mechanics.

Same answer I always give to this question. Quantum Mechanics. There were only 2 students in the class. The homework involved some math that I hadn't seen before, so I spent a weekend in the library just teaching myself new math. All exams were face-to-face with the prof - answer questions verbally, solve equations while he watched, etc.

political economy at university, as part of an overall politics/IR course.

wasn't so much hard as annoying , as it felt like it had much more to do with economics than with politics.

also statistics, again with politics, as it felt it was more maths (which Im not that good at) , than politics.
