What was the worst class you took at BYU?

Archaea

12:38pm

Chemistry 105, followed by Econometrics

Japan Coug

12:40pm

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

Archaea

12:42pm

I took both of those, completely agree!

reddead

12:48pm

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

Brisket

Chem 105

DirtyWater

12:40pm

Game theory

El Careeb

12:41pm

A fascinating topic.

Archaea

12:43pm

At least when I was there it wasn’t taught very well. Different university with a different teacher it was better.

Brisket

12:59pm

Only class I dropped in college.

Statics

12:41pm

OChem

KingDave

12:43pm

Yeah, I hated OChem lab.

Archaea

12:43pm

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

Joe Banks

12:47pm

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

Archaea

12:56pm

I loved it. It was basically potions class at Hogwarts

EQD2

1:11pm

I TA'd for OChem lab! Loved it waaay more than gen chem.

1:37pm

Nobody has been able to explain to me why organic chemistry was so much easier for me compared to general chemistry

SaturdaySpecialDay

3:41pm

Less math?

JuicyJam

3:47pm

ECON 110 with Kearl

MajorZeus

12:43pm

Some loved that class. Why was it your worst?

Archaea

12:43pm

Teacher. I took it again with Wimmer and was great.

"Self, Great Day!"

I had 110 from Arden Pope, but that was the class where I took maybe 3-4 pages of notes all semester

BYUMizzou

12:46pm

Should have done it with Clayne Pope...

1:09pm

I remember when Kearl argued with people about free trade. Then I went to grad school and took multiple trade classes.

Brisket

1:10pm

Business 401

12:43pm

What kind of finance?

Brisket

1:11pm

That was 30 years ago - more of a blur now than back then

1:29pm

I don't remember the course number, but it was a political science class

BYUMizzou

12:44pm

I majored in Poli Sci

reddead

12:56pm

Poli 110. Useless class with papers arbitrarily graded by students.

byuler

12:45pm

Was Magleby the professor?

reddead

12:57pm

Any class that wasn’t aligned with my major. If you know what you want to do,

SpecialKC

12:45pm

Chem 111

LeonMarek

12:46pm

I had Dr. Elliott Butler

Archaea

2:43pm

I don't remember the number, but it was Differential Equations

RedHeadedStranger

12:47pm

Lamareaux. I TA’d 190 for him. Was ok for that class. I dropped PDE’s from him

jvquarterback

1:04pm

The math dept really struggled at BYU once upon a time

Mitty

3:19pm

Anatomy by braille- my class partner was a dude which made it less than fun.

Reach

12:48pm

Chem 106

American Heritage w/900 of my closest friends in the JSB auditorium

Tare

12:49pm

I loved American Heritage.

Honors section Book of Mormon taught by Eloise Bell

gilbertatty

12:50pm

Depends what worst means. P-chem was probably the hardest, but it at least

JuicyJam

12:52pm

My favorite bumper sticker from college: "I survived PChem."

Archaea

12:57pm

American Heritage

Blueto

12:56pm

Hate to say this, but it was a Book of Mormon class.

Physics 122

History of Jazz. Loved the topic, but super hard class

dallasbyu

1:01pm

I took that from Professor Harker, it was hard but amazing

Jennerstein

1:19pm

Chem 106,107 followed by Chem 351,352.

Wizbang

1:02pm

Math 346. Mathematical Analysis 2. That class was absurdly difficult.

OlanchoCoug

Theoretical Syntax, Hands down worst class at BYU!

ike

2:27pm

What is "theoretical syntax" supposed to be about?

Archaea

2:36pm

Required Linguistics course arguing over what part of speech a word is.

I think it was the multi-vector calculus, prof was a real nice guy but just a

Mitty

I had a Russian visiting math professor: his English was horrid and his

Archaea

3:22pm

Profs that can't speak English is completely inexcusable. Hate it. It's hard

Mitty

3:29pm

Yeah, grasping math was tough enough, and then to have someone

Archaea

5:53pm

Linear Algebra? Such a useless subject.

El Jefe

4:03pm

This post could not be more wrong. Linear algebra is super useful.

OlanchoCoug

5:23pm

Like I said, I'm sure it's useful to someone

El Jefe

5:49pm

PoliSci 201 (I think) So much writing....

4:08pm

"Worst" was Zoo 373. Made Chem 105-107, 351-353, and 481-482 feel easy by comparison.

unctoothman

4:28pm

American Heritage, dropped it right away

Gustav

D&C from a prof who didn't usually teach religion classes. He taught inaccurate

CougaRR4L

Until classes are taught like divinity classes elsewhere, they should be P/F.

Physics 551 was pretty tough
