Toughest class on campus...
- Thread starter Chipper

I did not think that was too hard. I had a lot more trouble with com sci 331, which is set theory and algorithms.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but when I was there a few years ago the Library 160 class was 'officially' the hardest class with the most failures per semester!! Most of the time from people who simply forgot to turn their **** in on time...
Toughest class for me was the Calc 265, and I think the math classes are highly dependent on teacher. I had some middle american guy who couldn't teach worth a crap and hated to give partial credit! On the semester final the average score (no joke) was a 12%, with even a few 0%!!

Yeah, but I thinks more because of the test out option they have for the class. People show up and think they can ace it and fail!
Here's another vote for Chem 325. Eff that. Even worse when lecture is made difficult because the professor's 'v's, 'r's, and 'nu's all look the same on the chalkboard....
I'm with you. The one bright spot was my TA for the lab was named Muhammed Ali. I just called him the champ.
This up coming semester, I'm taking a history course taught by Liu Xiaoyuan. I've never met him, so I don't know anything and can't say anything about him, but don't ask me how to pronounce his name.
Got my vote! passed it by the EXACT number required. (And I was cheating off an asian kid sitting next me! If it wasnt for him..... I think i would still be taking that class.)
Chemical Engineering. (I might be a little biased.) Other than that, Aerospace. EE can be hard, depending on the electives you take. Nuclear is tough, but no tougher than taking most regular engineering thermo classes. And are we talking Library 160 or getting a degree in Library Science? Because I spent a total of 2 hours on 160, including taking the test, and got an A.
I think the bolded part is true. I taught Math at ISU for 5 years, and I had my highest pass rate in Math 265. Since it's essentially the same concepts as Math 165/166 with an extra dimension thrown in, I found if I could make the students see that connetion it was pretty easy for them. Usually by 265 the students understand the amount of work necessary to succeed in Math classes, so there are fewer unmotivated/lazy students.

If you bring feelings to History 594, you'll regret it.
The subject wouldn't be that difficult, except of course, the prof chose to turn a research seminar into a reading seminar as well.
I just love that the paper I was supposed to work on all semester is reduced to a 3-day jam-it-out project. Outstanding.

This is what I am thinking. Lots of talk about it being your only F EVER or only spending an hour on the class and getting an A in this thread. I don't know if it has changed but when I took it (around 03-04) it was pass/fail.
Is he the guy that always talked about getting his phd when he was 20? Dude was a ****.
