Current Events > Worst college class you took?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I want to say public speaking but that's pretty cliche, probably.

I guess some bullcrap English 101. Sociology was painful.
---

For classes most everyone has to take, definitely econ. I'm awful with anything math or number related, the class was a huge lecture hall that made it difficult to really ask questions, and the professor was an awful lecturer.
---

Theory of butt stuff
---

english 101 mainly because im terrible at writing. It's very discouraging when all your papers get only 50-60s and covered in red ink
---

ethics, if only because it didn't teach me anything useful and it required a stupid amount of reading
---

my accounting courses. Painfully brain dead boring.
---

Everything that was "gen ed" and most of the electives.

I don't count basic classes you have to take. Just electives that I fucked up one. Which was only one. Early European History. Holy shit so much religion nonsense it gave me a headache.
---

all three electrical engineering courses i took had fucking horrible teachers, so those
---

All 3 years of elementary ed. Wrote a fuck ton of papers every hour of my life that didn't have a single application to the classroom.
---

I loved Public Speaking. My instructor was a funny old man who knew how to make you laugh and enjoy the class. You'd look at him and think he was an asshole, but he was just the greatest instructor.

The worst class I took was either Western Civilization or Abnormal Psychology.

Why?

The instructors were either too braggily- knowledgeable or too spaztastic that you couldn't really understand half the shit she wanted.

Oh, and Deviance was like that too.
---

Econ or organic chemistry probably
---

Intro to pc. Literally learning about Microsoft products when google drive exists.
---

For me it was English Comp II. Mostly because the teacher graded everything on the most arbitrary of standards and yet never actually let us in on what those standards of hers are.
---

My bio 101 class was taught by some grumpy old lady who clearly didn't care about teaching anymore. Just told us to read the book.

I'm taking it right now and the problem is just that the teacher is throwing a lot of information at us at once without giving us enough time to really understand it. And this class has more homework than all my other courses put together. It's hell.

Operating Systems was the class that finally convinced me to drop Computer Science as my major.
---

Well I'm basically just going off of the professor more than off of the course content itself, but the freshman seminar class I took first semester of college that everyone had to take had a REALLY dumb professor. She was very disorganized, graded papers arbitrarily because she didn't really know what she was doing, and also got super pissed off about "liberal lies" when we had some kind of in-class debate on income inequality or something.

Aww :(

Operating Systems was the hardest class I've ever taken in my life. I managed to pull out with a C+, but damn, was that hard. Thing is, if you aced that class, it literally meant you were a top of the line programmer, like someone who could easily work at a Google or something. It meant you were a fucking pro. I wasn't one of those kids, but everyone knew who they were because they always seemed to know the answers when most of us had no idea what the professor was talking about.

Probably Physics 2.

But aside from that, I would say Water and Wastewater Engineering.
---

ooh, my actual worst class was Survey of Medieval Europe. Soooo much fucking reading every night, like 100 pages of primary docs written in ye olde english, plus textbook reading. And we had to write papers on each of the docs to prove we did the reading.

It's like the prof thought we weren't taking other classes. I hate profs who think their class is more important than others.
---

Some British Literature class I took back in 2011. The professor was a douche that was waaaaaay into it and made it clear that his class was more important than any of the others that we were taking. He was a bore to listen to. The very first day of class he came in wearing all white and explained that he was dressed like that because "Its the start of a new semester and white is the purest form of color. This represents starting off the semester fresh and clean." I was like "OMG here we go, three months of this shit." I dreaded going into that class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I had a really poor Calculus 2 instructor. The curve for the final grade was pretty ridiculous considering it allowed me to obtain an A when I failed one test and received a C on two others.

I also had a poor Algorithms (for Computer Science) and Operating System instructor. She didn't seem to completely know what she was talking about most of the time, and what she did know she could not teach well. That term was the first term my university allowed comments with our teacher reviews. She is no longer allowed to teach Algorithms, and maybe not allowed to teach Operating Systems as well.

Critical reading was a boring class and one of my classmates was such a brownnose I couldn't take him seriously at all. Seriously, the dude was in his mid 30s, served in the Army and worked at a bar and acted like he was 14.

Calc 1 was a fucking nightmare since nothing I took before calculus really built into calc like other math classes did.
