It was the one class I had at BYU where it was obvious that the professor was trying to indoctrinate students with left leaning ideologies. I hated going to that class, and the TAs were smug (can't find the right word) who were just as bad.

What was the worst class you took at BYU?

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

A fascinating topic.

Archaea

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
