Music in Life. Hardest course ever. I didn't take one music class in my life. I needed one elective thinking that this was an easy class, I was wrong I got owned and it messed up my GPA.
It must be either Solid State Electronics or Diff Eq. I remember the avg for one of the test in our diff eq class was a 23. I ended up getting a 63 which got curved up to like 110. So I basically ended up with an A in a class where I flunked all the tests.
My least favorite classes weren't necessarily the hardest: Anatomy & Physiology I & II. The sheer volume of information was overwhelming, to say the least. It felt like all I was doing was memorizing stuff and not really taking in any actual understanding. Then my grandfather (who raised me) died smack in the middle of the semester for A & P II, so that soured my perception quite a bit. The class I'm currently dreading the most is Acute and Chronic next semester.
Continuum Mechanics - grad level solid state physics class with a fluid/engineering mathematics perspective. Grad students got to drop without penalty, so a week before the final our class went from 40 to about 20 - and the 4 of us undergrads in there were SOL. I took the full Quantum curriculum frosh and soph years and this class beat the pants off of it.
411 was bad since Ari can't teach worth a damn. I had a hard time with EE319k, Intr. to Microcontrollers/assembly language, with Lipovski.
My list of crappy EE classes with crappy EE professors: 306 - Patt (resident badass, overrated as a professor. Just too full of himself, and it gets in the way of his teaching) 312 - Wagner (obviously did not care about his job) 313 - Cardwell (another extremely overrated professor) 322C - Pan (quite possibly taught the least out of all my professors ever) 438 - Davis (another guy who taught absolutely nothing) 351K and 372N - Bard (another cocky dude who doesn't even have a PhD to back up his arrogance - and just another all-around crappy professor) 362K - Flake (grumpy ol' dude, you felt everyday like his wife left him the night before - one of those classes where you didn't understand how anything you were learning related to anything in the motherf'n universe) Well gee golly, that's like over half my EE classes, and by no means the end of the list. I'll come back later when I think of some more.

I just finished Business Statistics this semester and I was wondering, unless I plan on doing research, what the hell am I going to use this stuff for?
does basket weaving count? Well, I have to say biology...yeah i hated it..my favorite class is a tie between stats or strategic mgmt...
I'm with you. I'm a Chem E, and we called it Circuits I. I had a relatively easy time with Physical Chemistry 2 and the Chem E courses, and even TA'ed Organic 1&2. Circuits kicked my ass.
Human Anatomy & Physiology I and II.. I don't know what was harder, memorizing alot of body parts, or figuring out how the body works.
Business calculus. Let's condense a full year of calculus and apply it to Business. When I took it, I wasn't prepared for it.....Freshman.....mentally or emotionally...lol. When I took it as a Junior.....was much better prepared for it.
