What is the hardest class you've ever taken?

Posted about 4 years ago For me, it would have to be A&P II because I took it in 6 weeks (I must have been crazy) and needed to spend at least 8 hours a day x7 to get that class in the books. I received an 'A' by a whisker - whew! I'll never do that again! Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to. ~ Mark Twain |

| Posted about 4 years ago Oy! Chemistry. I never had to take much more than the lower level variety, but would have been in huge trouble deeper into the book. Chemistry is probably the hardest class I ever AVOIDED. I forgot about this one, Cap.' Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to. ~ Mark Twain |

| Posted about 4 years ago I would say Anatomy not because the material is hard, but the teachers who taught it were not good teachers at all, they were more of proctors for exams. |

| Posted about 4 years ago I think it would have to be college algerbra, I took it over the internet. I had an A going into the final but the final was horrible. I took statistics last semester and it was much easier. Higher level course easier I know sound odd but its true. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago A&P II...The class wouldn't have been nearly as hard if the teacher was on time for class and actually taught us some stuff instead of drinking his coffee and reading the book to us. It was awful, but I got through it. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Molecular Genetics. Took the class over again because it was the only class I ever got a C in. Second to that was a speech class. Actually withdrew because of my fear of public speaking.

No, you don't sound odd to me. Calculus was an easy class although I cannot do simple math in my head and never learned my 'times tables'. The more I get ot use a calculator, the easier the math is. |

Would have to be a tie between A & P I & II and Microbiology (not the lecture the lab) professor was all about essay questions. The A & P I took over the summer as a 8 week course it was a bitch and ended up wih a C+ in A & P II but I passed and that was all that mattered @ that time because my RN license won't say I got a C+ only that I am state licensed. Our service to others is the rent we pay while here on earth!! |

Now, you should ask me what my favorite class was...
Titled: Monsters (really)
Expecting me to say something like physics or organic chemistry, weren't you? |

Monsters? Some type of early childhood development class? What was Monsters like? Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to. ~ Mark Twain |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Upper level English/Writing course analyzing literature like Dracula, Frankenstein & some other stuff like that. My transcript does say 'Monsters.' Makes for a great sidetrack on a job interview. But, I really like the idea of it being an early childhood development class-----good one |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Just recently transferred a lot of my prereqs to another college and they would not accept my general chem (got an A), so I am taking 2 semesters of organic chem this summer. Lucky me! |

| Posted almost 4 years ago It soon will be pathophysiology. Anatomy and pyshiology are walks in the park compared to that and Inorganic is another toughy. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Pharmacology, so far. I am in my 2nd semester of an LPN program. I am sure I will update this topic later on. I am a proud mother of two beautiful daughters, Amy Ann and Susan Lynn. I have worked as a nursing assistant for the last fifteen years; am currently a nursing student (LPN) and will graduate in Spring 2010. Wish me luck on NCLEX. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago I was told you cannot get into nursing unless you have all A's. My average has dropped to a 3.5, at our campus, they are telling us they are weeding out through history classes and math, stupid stuff, I am looking forward to A&PII for the next six weeks, it will be a relief to be in something I am interested in. BTW, do any of your schools have a 6 drop rule? |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Statistics is so hard..but good thing I was able to pass by the end of term. |
Only kidding. My school has (or at least had) a college level writing course that dealt strictly with Harry Potter. I KNOW! It didn't count toward much besides an elective, but was very popular. It had a cryptic course title to help hide it on transcripts.
