    revkah and I were helping a library organize, so we spent a little bit of time looking at it.

    And I like to break down stuff like that so I can get in/out more efficiently. I'm the efficiency-oriented liberal arts guy.

    The only way to get lower than a B in Music 102 is to be incredibly lazy.

    EE231. A 5 credit course (class everyday) plus a lab. I remember one test no one got over 60%. It was brutal.

    If I didn't drop it three weeks in, Drawing 3 was setting up to the hardest class I would have ever taken. It met 6 hours a week, and I would have had to at least double that outside of class to finish the in class stuff. Then there was like 10 hours of homework every week. It didn't help that the teacher was a dick.

    There was some Math class 365 or 415 ... Complex numbers analysis or something like that. absolutely brutal.

    mostly because of the lack of a curve, that's just uncalled for. As I remember no one got above a B - it was like a concentration camp

    CS 311 algorithms, was a difficult class to start (prolly not my most difficult, but still hard), but they lumped first year CS grad students in as a prereq to CS 511 (graduate algorithms) into it and they curved us all on the same curve. 90% on the exams got me a C. Luckily they offered some extra assignments to undergrads right at the end of the class (after most people dropped) that got me back up above a B.

    Genetics 320 for me. Also known as Agronomy 320. I was so far in over my head in that class. I just remember getting a D- and celebrating because I past. I am an agronomist in real life now and have used absolutely NOTHING form that course in real life.
