I've always struggled with history and foreign languages. My memory is really bad that I just can't remember the minute details that you need to for history. In AP World History I gave it everything I had, studied every night, made sure my work was perfect, and still only made an 87, and that was because of two extra credit projects. In college, once again it was history. I had to drop it because I knew I was going to make an F and destroy my transcript. German 101 in college was hard too. I was gonna make a D most likely. I couldn't drop the class because it was 4 hours, so eventually I just withdrew from the university. I'm going back to a different school in the fall, but I am so nervous about taking history. Hopefully I can take spanish 101 instead, as I found learning spanish to be an easier task than german.
Its a tie between calculus 2 and Government History. For calculus 2 I took that over the summer with a really boring teacher so I really had to struggle to get through it. For government history I sat behind this really attractive girl that wore revealing outfits and tight, low cut pants. So I couldnt concentrate :lol:
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.
Its like never been one of my strong suits, it always takes me abit longer to get parts of it than other people, and then when i do i forget it easier.
Everything else especially english, socialogy, history ect i breeze through,
Oh except my spelling and grammar in English i can write things out great in essays but everything else my teacher would say i got sloppy.

OK my spanish is rusty as I haven't actually spoken it ages(Red Dead Redemption gave me some practice lol).
Mi espanol es muy mal, pero usted tiene una buena opurtiendad(I think thats right).

My spanish is very bad(or is mal good?) No clue what the rest says lol.
Organic chemistry. Only class in college I received less than a B for (got B- both semesters). For whatever reason I could never get the deep grasp of the concepts needed to do well in that class, although I'd imagine a lot of that had to do with the fact that I never studied more than three days for any one exam in that class. I really regret that too because orgo really hurt my GPA just on its own (got a 3.81 at the end of college when I could have had a 3.87 had I never taken orgo).
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.

I took quantum mechanics, class wasn't hard, so long as you had a beginners understanding of linear algebra
Linear Algebra, eh? Sounds like you took the introductory undergrad course. My prof took off the kid's gloves.
finding the mid points and radius(es) of circles. Had my second lecture today :cry: What the? Man I totally didn't know what calculus was. I thought it was derivation, integration and sh*t like that.
[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] That's like really basic physics noob Is physics the one like maths but with a little story involved? Yes exactly. How do you know this? You have a PhD in knowledge or something?
[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="gomefun2"] actually I learned everything up to poly-electron systemsgomefun2
That's like really basic physics noob No it isn't, the only way to solve those problems is using computers lol, but I also did all the single electron, and time based stuff too first. Poly-electron systems were actually easy, because computers did all the work Only noobs use computers
[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] That's like really basic physics noob Is physics the one like maths but with a little story involved? Yes exactly. How do you know this? You have a PhD in knowledge or something? I dabbled in some physics myself. Between making little campfires out of splints and turning on the gas taps briefly to hear the sound.
Now, I'm pretty big on literature, but this class made no sense. The tests were the most random collections of the most ambiguous and vague multiple choice questions they could come up with. They would sometimes literally ask what the professor said during college, and each answer would differ only one word. Screw that class. I miraculously passed it, but it was 100% luck.
The hardest class I've taken is Anatomy. Luckily I'm not taking it next semester :P I'm not very educated in medical root words, so all the vocabulary and terminology was new to me.
Pre-Cal/Trig it's just so hard...I hate numbers :(. Or maybe yearbook, just because I'm editor in chief...lots of things to do, stress to handle, and pages to complete.
Critical Theory was a total pain. Writing essays about Castoriadis' autonomy of the creative imagination or Heller's redemptive paradigm was rather unpleasant for my first social theory subject, having not done any of the readings.
Still, I hit my head against it until it stuck (uh...so to speak?), and did quite well, too. I even got a chance to strike back against Social Theory in general in another subject, where I got one of my highest marks for picking apart that lecturer's research.

I would say AP Calculus, but I hardly paid any attention in that class and managed to get an A or B. AP Macroeconomics and AP Lit were probably most difficult due mainly to the teachers and their course load.
Symbolic logic at college. It turned out to be harder than I expected it to be, so I just stopped going towards the end because I didn't want to put in the time to study that I would need to pass since it wasn't a requirement for my major.
