In reply to the discussion: What is hardest class you had in college? Bus Stats II. [View all]hunter
(40,706 posts)... and some days I cut classes to do just that. But I learned the hard way I couldn't skip a single day studying o-chem.
The first time I failed a class in college it was for fighting with the teaching assistant; I later passed that class with an "A."
Organic chemistry was the second class I flunked because it was easier and more rewarding to load trucks. But even with my full and complete attention organic chemistry was still difficult.
Okay, maybe not the most difficult class ever...
I took one class from a world renowned biologist (I won't name) and people warned me against it, saying he rarely gave a grade higher than a "C." The GPA obsessed pre-med students were especially adament. I ought to have been worried the first day when I counted only thirteen of us in his class. He was a very entertaining lecturerer, he'd take us into his lab to show us stuff, he'd invite us to his house, but he also expected everyone to work at his level, and he was intense. I worked harder for the C+ he gave me than any "A" I ever got.
