What was the worst class you took at BYU?
I didn't have many, except Quant and Qual Analysis and the first chem lab
where we had to see what substance it was, when it turned out to be simple water.
There were some less than desirable religion classes but that comes with the territory.

Chemistry 105, followed by Econometrics

I always wanted to take enconometrics and had to learn it on my own.

I took both of those, completely agree!

Econometrics is a lot easier if you’ve already taken linear algebra. The problem was, at least at the time, they didn’t

O chem would have been fine if the class plus lab counted for 8 credit hours

Try ten hours. They require an unreasonable amount of time to master.
