<p>As the title suggests, what classes have given you the most trouble in your undergraduate curriculum. Please feel free to elaborate on your answers - tons of busy work, teacher was strict/inept/aloof, book was useless, material was abstract/impossible to digest, unfocused freshman year, combination/other factors. </p>
<p>While this is an engineering majors board, I'll leave it open to all courses taken so far for those that thought their course in Women's Studies was more arduous than say Circuits.</p>
<p>My Data Structures class was really bad due mainly to a major lack of resources to help you learn the material. Programming projects you can always look online for what you need but for learning the stuff we were tested on (which was 60% of out grade if I recall correctly) they provided nothing. And it’s really not a conceptually easy topic either. The instructor was great at keeping people’s attention, but mediocre at actually explaining the material. It was just a very poorly structured and run class.</p>
<p>Ergonomics was awful also, mostly because we didn’t really learn anything. We were essentially expected to memorize a book and regurgitate it on a test. The professor was really good at keeping everyone’s attention and was in general an excellent instructor, but it’s extremely boring material and really not a well structured class for teaching you anything. It was just cram and dump.</p>
<p>English has always gave me problem. The research paper or whatever 4-5 page paper always kick my behind. Mostly the grammar (i.e. has/have, -d [past tense]). I’m not the writer type; I’m more of a problem solver. Math and Science are my type of classes.</p>
