13. I have two that tied for worst.

Genetics -- I was completely lost after Gregor Mendel's peas. I managed to pass because it was a "herd" class of about 500 people that was graded on a curve. Might as well have been teaching the class in Russian or Swahili as far as a I was concerned, because I understood nothing that was being taught, for all intents and purposes. I got a 2.0, so at least some of the people in the class were dumber than I was.

Accounting -- actually worse in terms of the way the course was taught, although the subject matter was somewhat, slightly, more understandable. The "lectures" were all on video tape, another "herd" class of hundreds of people. Then, we were assigned to graduate student TA's to work with -- the guy I was assigned to was from China and I couldn't understand a word he said, his English language skills were terrible. Add to that an accountants penchant to arbitrarily (from a math viewpoint) randomly change numbers from positive to negative, and it was an equation for frustration.

Michigan State, gotta love it. Great school for parties. Terrible school for academics.
