i am just wondering what was the hardest undergrad course you took, and what your major was. i am an english major, but the hardest course i took was organic chemistry, that course was multiple anal rape on a daily basis.
Quantitative Environmental Systems as an Architecture Undergrad. Class was held twice a week from 9-10:30, the teacher loved to be a complete prick and held a lab from 8-12 on Fridays for good measure. The grading system was I believe derived from an early version of the BCS system which proved unfit for the NCAA, so they used it on us.
Man...why would you take organic chemistry when you can take an earth science - seriously. I never took any hard courses in university.
its a med school prerequisite, most med schools usually require 1 year of biology with labs, 1 year of general chemistry with labs, 1 year of organic chemistry with lab, and 1 year of physics with labs...at the minimum for science courses. now looking back i probably should have majored in Mech-E, physics is pretty fun and relatively straight forward, and i believe some med schools have preference for that major...but o well too late now.
O chem took a lot of rote memorization and little questioning of why it would work. There were harder classes, but I hated that one the most.
yep, i am not sure how it was before, but at least in my school and my friends school, a CUNY, its three 50 minute lectures, one 2 hour session of discussion, and a 3-4 hour lab per week. the homework is pretty much online now, usually giving you the name and you are suppose to make the composition...blah. only took orgo 1, still got another semester of this torture.
^That schedule sounds about right. What's awesome is that those hundred dollar books are pretty much worth little if anything even if most of the material's the same.
Business major, hardest class was intro to finance. It had more to do with the fact that I had a terrible professor than anything else though.
went to different schools.. hardest class was never related to the material imo. i think it was more based on when you took it (freshman/soph yr, things were tougher) and the professor..
psssh - introduction to circuit theory. i'm a electrical engineering/computer science guy. it's like drinking from a firehose.
Nope. I grew disillusioned pretty quickly for one of those degrees in college. Graduated with an environmental science degree.
EE 411 from UT? For me hardest class was tissue engineering. Upper division undergrad classes suck when half your class is grad students and you're all graded on the same scale... Although I heard taking Laplace Transform as a class is more hardcore than Diff Eq II...
I was EE. Yes, it was hard. I doubt I'd have to experience other majors to say that it's probably the hardest undergrad major you can do. To answer your question, all my EE classes.
Man, I was going to start a thread just like this one. I guess great minds think alike. In my case it was Communication Systems II in Electrical Engineering. Really horrible professor who couldn't teach a very hard subject. If there are any EE majors out there, you know what I mean. A close second would prob be the Probability and Statistics class. I just didn't get it... But even more difficult than the above two was, without a doubt, the last physics class I had to take. The one about all the Maxwell's equations. I think it was called Electromagnetics or something. Hardest subject ever (I hate physics). I think it all depends on your professor though.
