<p>Calculus 2 is the one for me...</p>
<p>It's taught in an ungodly hard way, and the teachers have a way to just make it even worse...</p>
<p>I'm not sure why I'm taking it, I don't even need it for my major. I just feel odd without a math class though...</p>
<p>If any class, this will be the one to ruin my grade</p>
<p>Its not the one class that WILL ruin my grade its the one class that DID.
I took a Japanese class during the summer got a D my gpa went from a 3.0 to a 2.3.</p>
<p>DO NOT TAKE A LANGUAGE COURSE DURING THE SUMMER!</p>
<p>Its not that it was hard but once you slip your screwed compared to having 5 months during the fall or spring to get back up.</p>
<p>I did language in the summer, and it worked out fine. Got a A- in 8 credits of spanish. So I only had to spend, like, 6 weeks to meet my college's language requirements (after placing out of the first two semesters).</p>
<p>I'll bet the class I do bad in this semester is algebraic topology. I just can't follow the professor that well, and the book isn't terribly helpful. Every Thursday night is a painful experience of trying to piece stuff together. If not that class, then real analysis.</p>
<p>For me it sometimes turned out to be a class I hadn't expected to be so difficult.</p>
<p>What's the one class that will ruin your grade?</p>
<p>O-chem.</p>
<p>More like, the one professor who teachers several required classes and gives me a C in each one, no matter what I do. Bleh. If I ever had a possibility of graduating with honors to being with, that certainly killed it.</p>
<p>ap chemistry
last year
dios mios!</p>
<p>my guess is that its going to be calculus based physics this quarter. i suck at mechanics and all those equations and variables confuse me. but ironically in "more advanced" physics where you get into heat and energy and that sort of buisness, i am able to do better and i find it more interesting. kinda weird that i am horrible at intro physics but better as you go along.</p>
<p>I seem to have one every semester:</p>
<p>physics 1 and 2
dynamics
solid mechanics
aircraft structures
now, electrical engineering (it's an intro class but the prof. sucks and it's not my strongpoint at all)</p>
<p>Most people seem to think it will be either Physics or Calc (any level for either) for some reason.</p>
<p>I had one that was going to kill me but I dropped it before the first test. That course was Ethics.</p>
<p>To me, anything philosophy will kill me. I'm looking for some easy class at a community college to take in the summer because frankly, I hate philosophy! I had some friends into it when I was in high school and whenever they'd start talking about it I'd just leave because it ticked me off so much--probably because I think the Bible is the only truth out there and I know it is!!!</p>
<p>I would think summer language courses would be easy myself, but I guess it has something to do with the prof.</p>
<p>All of the core requirements.</p>
<p>There's a reason I'm not a math major - because I suck at it. Don't make me take classes that I'll have absolutely no need for once I graduate.</p>
<p>last semester at an Ivy - A, A, A, A-, B+ ... and a C+ in Economics :(.</p>
<p>Italian :) and its also the class I work the hardest in so go figure!</p>
<p>Economics for me, I knew all of the formulas and everything that we went over in class, just to find out that come test day, they were only helpful for a smattering of the questions (the rest were these "real world" problems, I was completely caught off guard).</p>
<p>Mostly its the gen eds, I think that colleges put these in there to ensure that everybody won't have a 3.9+ GPA without even trying -_-</p>
<p>Organic Chemistry. The only two courses that I have received lower than a B+ at my current college are Organic I (C+) and Organic II (C-).</p>
<p>Chemistry in general for me. Got a C in gen 1 last semester and it pulled my gpa down alot (almost .25 points). Hoping to get a B in gen 2 this semester, because this prof is alot easier to understand that the other one.</p>
<p>Chemistry sucks ^^</p>
<p>i think collegeconfidential is pretty up there</p>
<p>i get you...calculus II seemed so much harder than it was supposed to be, because the book (Stewart) managed to explain everything in the hardest possible way, and the professor was as much the same. i was almost certain that Calculus II was going to kill my GPA...i wasn't even sure i could pull a B...but i had no way of knowing because i didn't know my grade in the class at any point until after the final....and i ended up pulling an A in the class :D that was the most pleasant surprise i've ever had in terms of grades.</p>
<p>this semester...i have a feeling it's going to be Physics I. there's just so much to keep track of, on top of ridiculously hard midterms. this freshman writing class may do me in as well, but i might be able to slide away with an A...only 20-28 more pages worth in essays may tell...</p>

<p>Ditto! mechanics sucks</p>
<p>Probably my foreign language.</p>
