I thought I was all alone on Differential and Integral Calculus were my toughest courses. For an engineering student in a masters program who hated all mathematics, life was tough. I didn’t graduate at the top of my class, but I did and now everything is done on the computer and not a slide rule [“slip-stick”] and we didn't even have electronic calculators, remember the Bomar Brain? or HP's first graphing & recording calculator?
My education was fairly eclectic; bachelors degree in music & masters degree in mechanical engineering, no wonder I’m so conflicted. I think that is one reason I would up in law enforcement for 12 years, now I’m back in engineering. Now, I’m just too old to worry about it.

I've recently returned to school after leaving with a GED over thirty years ago. I'm in a two year degree program and so far my most difficult class has been Web Portfolio Development. HTML, XHTML, CSS, Java-Yikes! I got through it and managed to get an A somehow but it was a tough course for me to master.

It was ACCOUNTING.....BY FAR.
I was going to Business School (Northwood University in Midland, Michigan) for Advertising/Marketing....and the degree program required Accounting I & II.
Got about a D+ in both.
Pretty much everything else wasn't too hard...and, 20 or so years later, I can say that it really didn't matter....and, that Iam doing great without it.
(After getting that degree, I ended up in art school, and Iam now an Art Director for the Marketing Communications Dept. of a multi-national firm, based in France....whose U.S. HQ is in Fort Worth)
I do remember the professor for I....he had a voice that sounded oddly similar to Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes....listen to that for 2 hours straight, and see how you do!

I'm a business major - I'll graduate in May with my associates degree. This fall I'll start working on my bachelors in Accounting.
I have 2 that I hated!
One of the toughest classes was Statistics! Hated that class - but luckily the professor used the bell curve so I ended up with a B. If not for that I would have failed.
The other was Calculus!! Don't know why that's required of a business major??? The whole class was doing poorly. The teacher (an adjunct) wasn't going to teach any more college classes, so she made our last 2 exams take home and even gave us a take home final. I ended up with a C in that class and was pleased as punch to get it! Had it not been for those take home tests I would have surley failed! I was going to drop the class but she talked me into staying. If I wasn't passing by the week before finals, she would let me drop with a WP (withdraw passing).

I didn't really have any 'hard' classes (I've always been academically gifted) ... but there was one which was torture to sit through ... Child Psychology. The professor had a monotonous voice (even in regular conversation, there is NO vocal inflections). He essentially photocopied the texts onto overhead transparencies and read them word for word!!! I dropped the course after the 3rd week, studied the text like crazy, and took the equivalency exam the following month (and got a 98).
That professor's BQ (boring quotient)??? 350!!

I absolutely loved hermeneutics, but it was a little daunting, since I was the only female in the class, and the fellas were not all that enthused about it. My future husband, who was only a friend of mine at the time, had taken the class a year or so before me, so I wanted to pick his brain about it, but we just never could make contact with each other. However, I happened to overhear my classmates talking about a copy of a previous student's notes, and from hearing them talk, these notes were just fantastic. Well, they passed them around for people to look at, and I was the last person to get them (about 6-8 weeks into the class). They were really good notes, and I was happy to get them. Then a few months later I started dating my future husband, and he happened to see my notes and comment, "Hey, where did you get a copy of my notes?"  Yep, they were his notes. We still have the original notebook with some of his other notebooks.

oh man, definitely my anatomy class that was a prereq for nursing school. it was awful. for our first test, we had 36 single spaced, two sided sheets of size 12 font notes. to memorize. and it was all about fltration in the kidneys! I studied for 3 hours every night for 2 weeks and still only got a B. I had the course for a year!

Accounting 2. That is why I didn't pursue a career in Accounting.

I'm with you, Solo_soprano22 - physics gave me fits. I flunked it in junior high, flunked it in high school, flunked it in college, took it again and flunked the first half of the year. My roommate prayed for me and I finally got it (God gave it!) and passed it. Barely.

We had a Fluid Mechanics course taught by a prof nicknamed Dr. Death.
That same semester I had Calc IV and E-mag (Electromagnetic Physics), both very tough. In total I had 6 calculus classes and 3 physics classes, but those two were the toughest of them all, and I just had to take them in the same semester.
I also took a really time-intensive computer programming course that semester. Plus I was going through a lot of personal stuff then... small wonder I nearly broke down that semester.

I would have to say Physics and Nutrition.
Physica because...well, it's just not my thing. *shudders*
And the nutrition teacher didn't like me too much for some odd reason and seemed to make it so much difficult for me. Later I figured out she was pushing me to reach my potential but I sure didn't see it that way at the time! I was a psych major and just took this course as a 'filler' in my schedule. Riiiight....

lol, I hear ya. My hardest class was heat transfer & fluid flow. 2 really hard topics rolled into 1 class. I could have died!
But a close second would be internal combustion engines. I don't even like cars all that much; why did I take that class?
On the other hand, the very BEST class I ever took in college was History of Rock and Roll from 1970 to the present! What an awesome class!!!
