Hardest class you've taken

<p>My philosophy and chemistry classes. I love my teachers, but their classes are the hardest by the amount of intelligence needed.
Subjectively the hardest class is my spanish class, because I really hate the teacher and have to get myself to stay awake for the whole period.</p>

<p>AP physics B.</p>

<p>AP Physics B</p>

<p>Taking it online without the pre-requisites. -_-</p>

<p>AP Calc AB.</p>

<p>My teacher is so-so, and the textbook is crap. I have the only A in the class, but I have a 93.5% where 94% is an A. I love rounding!</p>

<p>Copied it from the other forum about 4 year courses.
take a pick.</p>

<p>ap calc, lit, and spanish. hands down hardest. EVER</p>

<p>honors alg 2-- i failed it :(</p>

<p>AP Calc BC..ugh</p>

<p>AP Spanish Literature, ugh, most of the authors wrote about dying and then most of them died an untimely death. And the teacher was kind of crazy, which doesn't help at all.</p>

<p>Hey, is AP Physics B so hard? because I'm taking it next year without the Honors Physics prerequisite, so I'm kind of worried.
BTW the hardest class I have is APUSH by far</p>

<p>^ eldoboy Honors Physics is extremely difficult alone. AP Physics B will be very difficult in my opinion. That is why I chose not to take it. It would have ruined my life.</p>

<p>Honestly, Latin II, not even dual enrollment.
My teacher is strict and hard. (Although he'll work with you on his breaks and we all mock him for having no life, so we have a great teacher regardless.)</p>

<p>^^^ I'm taking AP Physics B without a previous honors course, and I'm doing well (my teacher says he'll be disappointed if I get a 4). It really depends on your personal way of thinking. If you naturally think the way you need to in physics, then you can do well without working too hard. If you simply don't think that way (like, if you're more of a humanities person), then you can work your arse off and not do as well as you would like.</p>

<p>Anyways, in regards to this topic, the hardest class for me is definitely AP Chemistry. I don't like to complain about teachers, because almost all of mine are excellent, intelligent, pleasant people, but this teacher doesn't mesh well with anyone. Actual classes go like this:</p>

<p>Someone: <em>asks question</em>
Him: <em>doesn't answer, but spends five minutes saying other stuff that is tenuously related</em>
Someone: <em>repeats question</em>
Him: <em>answers</em>
Someone: So you mean <repeats the="" teacher's="" explanation="">?
Him: No. <em>goes into other irrelevant stuff</em></repeats></p>

<p>...</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>It's okay though. Only one more semester left. :)</p>

<p>^ Same here. AP Chem is definitely the hardest class I've taken, but it wouldn't be nearly as bad if I had a better teacher. The process you described of how your teacher answers questions is actually remarkably similar to my AP class.</p>

<p>I almost never complain about teachers, but on this one I have to. Of course having a bad teacher is no excuse for not understanding the material, as I'm perfectly capable of studying on my own. I just don't even have the motivation for it anymore.</p>

<p>I'm sure I would be doing very well in a face-to-face class, but we have to teach ourselves out of the book and very little time is spent of AP Physics B topics. We spend the first few days on the AP topics and then the rest of the time on what that builds to. Everyone else in the class is a senior, and many of them have MIT as their top choice and want to major in Physics... but I don't believe there's a single A in the course.</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC, without AB, is, in comparison, very easy.</p>

<p>Taking AP Euro now... its pretty hard... barely pulling an A in there</p>

<p>AP Chem... the subject material isn't THAT bad, but the teacher............ :(</p>

<p>^ I know right. Why is it that AP chem teachers seem to be much worse than others?</p>

<p>My current English class. The material isn't hard, but the teacher is, while amazing, also brutal.</p>

<p>Hardest Class - AP lit
Worst Teacher- AP chem (easiest class)</p>
