Hardest classes you've taken

[DonaldJTrump]

Discuss what are the hardest coursework you've taken in secondary or post secondary college, for me it would be Intermediate algebra.

 

[Coconut Gun]

All my classes were easy because I'm smart and college is fucking easy if you give half a shit.

 

[AnOminous]

Federal Jurisdiction. It's actually really fucking tough.

 

[Hell0]

the class that is my dick, inside ya mom

 

[Draza]

Lucky for me, i never had a hard class. Feels weird

 

[Sperglord Dante]

- Structural Analysis
- Dynamics
- Fluid Mechanics
- Differential Equations
- Earthquake Engineering
- Hand Fucking Drafting

 

[PlasticOwls]

I took visual communications 1 thinking it'll be easy, and I had to learn how to draw cars and spaceships by week 3.

 

[millais]

advanced organic chemistry was hands down the hardest for me. Even though the vast majority of people with half a brain are able to work it all out in the end, i could never wrap my head around any of it except the parts that directly overlapped with biochemistry, which gave me enough points for passing grade

There were a lot of other difficult courses at much higher levels, but I never felt so clueless and inadequate as in advanced organic chemistry. Everything else I either did or could have eventually mastered given the proper investment of effort and attention, but not so with the advanced organic chemistry.

Calculus 2 is apparently considered one of the hardest subjects in my school. I'm currently taking it as a summer class, and it really isn't that bad. You just need to give half a shit to do well.

 

[DumbDosh]

I took a state and local governments class as an elective but was too cheap to buy the book, that made it way harder.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Politics and policies of the EU was hard, mostly because it was so fucking boring (and sadly, compulsory).
Politics and protest in postwar Italy was a fucking bastard. Never, never study Italian politics if you want to remain sane. It defies all logic and understanding.
I did a double-weighted course on the Russian Revolution. Simultaneously the most interesting and one of the hardest courses I've done, only partly due to having to memorise (literally) two books' worth of Lenin's speeches, letters and political writing. Dude seriously needed to have his underlining privileges revoked (if you've ever read copies of his writing, you'll know exactly what I mean).

Knot theory. Why I did a maths course I dunno.

Fluid Mechanics is basically black magic.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Fucking psychology. The text book is the biggest one I ever had to use and there's way too much to study.

 

[Thelostcup]

So far has to be Global Climate Change.

A 10 page paper with full citations due every week, along with 100 - 200 pages of reading a week in thick, thick textbooks and scientific papers about atmospheric physics with so many charts all basically saying that we really fucked up big time. A lot of really cool stuff about paleoclimates and the Ice Ages though.

Also had another course where I got lost with a group of people in the desert with no water and had to map our way back.

>There are people who think integrals are hard.

 

[PantsFreeZone]

Accounting 101. I'm really good at math but after I passed this course, I grew 100% sure investment bankers and CPAs are full of shit.

 

[Gordon Cole]

Esoteric history classes like Colonial Latin America or History of Modern China are these for me, but in a more engaging kind of way if that means anything.

I found the theoretical stuff fucking confusing and the applied stuff pretty straightforward. Then again I dropped out of engineering school and became a basic bitch programmer.

 

[HolocaustDenier]

systems of differential equations, linear algebra. electromagnetism.

 

[awoo]

>There are people who think integrals are hard.

I would not say Calc 2 integrals are hard, but you can go pretty deep into the black magic of integration.
I was really bad at multi-variable calc. I never made it to the cool things like residue theorem, Mellin transform, hypergeometric functions you see people pull out of their ass when prompted with a monstrous integral. My interests lie more with discrete math than analysis type stuff although it is probably very interesting also.
