Trigonometry

I managed to pass but I think I lost 30lbs in the process from worry.
 
Inorganic chemistry. Fuck you potassium!
 
HND Software Development.

It was a poor choice because it was nothing that interested me. Bleh - bad memories are now surfacing in my mind about programming languages, coding, information transfer, networks, protocols, data packages, bits, bytes, routers etc. etc. etc. etc....

I still remember the day when I consciously stopped asking the lecturers questions if I didn't understand. There was just too many questions. I glazed over and from that day on, it was all downhill.

For about a month, I sat in that class and pretended to write and work. I actually stopped even writing anything down - I just pretended to.

One of the lecturers caught on, took me aside after class and KINDLY (not angrily) asked if I thought, given what I was doing, that I'd be able to continue. And after a pause, I said no.

So I failed my last year in college. I wasn't bothered or concerned about it. It was just a bad choice I made.
 
Con Law, 150 pages reading assignments every day just for 1 class. It's like reading Shakespeare language on steroids. No wonder many law students (like Obama) resort to snorting coke.

If by College you also mean University then Medicine , just Qualified over a
year ago , but still feel so lost sometimes , plus i fucking hate Latin which
did not help as a lot of the terminology is Latin-Stemmed. :confused:
 
A tie between Organic Chem and Virology. Then again it's my own fault (with Virology), because my dumb ass decided to jump past Cell Biology after passing Genetics. I failed both classes, but as soon as I get back into school, I plan on killing Organic Chem--I think I'm going to leave Virology alone.
 
I had a roommate who got into Cornell grad program where he studied virology. He now works at some serious lab playing around with vicious stuff.
 
Theory of Knowledge, by far.

It was a philosophical class that focused on whether or not we can actually claim to 'know' anything. I crammed pretty hard for that final, so much so that I neglected another and ended up doing miserably on that (though in fairness, the entire class did and numerous complaints were filed about that professor's final).

I don't recall much from it now, other than an argument that we cannot truly know whether or not something actually exists. We can assume that a coffee table is in the next room, and we can even view a coffee table when we enter the room, but we can't know for sure that it exists.

PHILOSOPHY!

I'm sure you're talking about Methodological Skepticism by Rene Descartes. "Cogito Ergo Sum" That was a fun mind fuck during the semester but useless. :rolleyes:
 
It's between "Analysis of the Decameron Texts" held in Italian and a class on Classical Mythology, in which each paper had to be hand written - including the final one which had to be at least 30 pages long and could not have any whiteout on it... Regardless, I busted my ass and passed both with A's, thank God...

I took a class called "Food Cultures of Europe" when I was studying in Florence, and people make fun of me saying that it was an easy class. So what - an "easy" class is meant to offset all the incredibly difficult one, right?
 
General Linguistics, which was a Bachelor course, too. All my Master courses combined were easier than that bitch of a course. I still remember me literally hitting my head on the desk in frustration (there were 4 students, so it wasn't that weird).

Still passed it in one go, but so many sleepless nights were spent trying to get those effing TREES right.
 
I don't want to steer the thread off-course, but, thinking of the hardest classes I've taken brings to mind some of my absolute favorite. First and foremost, I have to throw out my "Harry Potter" course. It was essentially a class which looked at the religious aspects, perceived or actual, within fantasy fiction during the twentieth century. It also dealt with the shift in opinion among religious groups toward such works of fiction. The textbooks for this class--no lie--were the Harry Potter novels, as well the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Robert Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. For the entire semester, I had to write only two eight to ten page papers. It was glorious.
 
There is this course which virtually mix moral lessons, grammars and punctuations, social studies, geographies, and logic. Every year all the students get thinner after 6 weeks X_X and so few people actually get higher than B+.

Then again, for me, the most difficult is always Religion. I always have to stay silent before the exam, thinking of what blubbery not-so-imaginative smart-sounding religious arguments to write down for the essay questions =P and I'm not even Christian nor Catholic! :lol:

See, I am the opposite, I loved my religion and philosophy courses. Both Islamic Tradition and Existentialism were the bomb. These types of subjects just always seemed to engage me more than Physics or Calculus ever could. And languages--oh my gosh. If I could, I would have taken every language course they had to offer; as it stands, I've studied a couple of years of French, Spanish, and Latin.
 
I think it's a toss between Anatomy and Physio and Abnormal Psych. The anatomy is full of memorization, but the class was easy because the teacher was easy. I think if I had another teacher, I'd probably be retaking it again. Abnormal psych was pretty difficult because we had to memorize every single detail about too many disorders. I kept forgetting pieces of info. Thankfully I was interested in the material most of the time.
 
Post Grad. Dip. Ed. was harder than any work since. Specifically the statistics elements. I really HATE anything mathematical and when I was faced with having to comprehend so much information regarding the collection, processing and presentation of learning outcomes et cetera, it made me cry. I cried for a long time, maybe half a semester. I'm still not happy about it. :cry:
