"Don't be nice. Be good."
I used to love history as a kid, especially when we started talking about Nazis. In Uni I have this class called Economic History. It's complete and utter bullshit. Had the midterm today. One question. What implication did free trade and protectionism have on capitalism during the Industrial Revolution. Had to write minimum of 4 pages for one loving question. My fingers looked like ground beef afterwards.

That's a pretty easy softball open ended question you can take whatever way you like as long as you can remember some facts/sources to back up your argument.

It's such bullshit how like 90% of getting a successful grade is just appealing to what the prof is into.

all of my college classes thus far have been pretty good. in high school though i took advanced programming and it was pure hell. the teacher wouldn't teach anything and would just basically throw problems at you. supposedly this was supposed to be an intermediate course but everyone in the class but me seemed to program flawlessly while i could barely make a drat CYOA game. somehow i passed with a C and the only thing i learned was not to major in programming.

I also had to take this GE astronomy class which like, the first half of the semester was crazy easy and it seemed like the class was going to be a joke, but then like right after the midterm it got insanely hard and I think i only got a good grade in it cause the professor would start out every class asking extra credit questions and if you got the question right you'd get extra credit on your next test and also the little credit paper was tapped to a funsized candy bar so you got to eat candy too!!

My fluid dynamics and heat transfer course was for some reason only 2 credits but had the workload of a lab class (4 credits) and lab classes are already unfair for the amount of time you have to spend on them vs credits compared to typical ger stuff. The material was interesting but I was at max credit load every semester so it was a pretty lovely semester.

maybe because business people are the ones who decide what to do with the stuff chemistry majors produce

and philosophy is basically a major IN ethics so...

It was probably covered in one of their other courses, my chem e department had a 1 credit seminar class you had to take every semester and it was mostly shills from random corporations like 3M or BP, but some chunk of each semester was devoted to ethics case studies. It was actually kind of funny because all the case studies were based on real stuff that people actually did and basically boiled down to 'they were unethical, don't do that'.

I took a psychology course in college a million years ago and it was p bad. The professor would always talk about how she was dating the prince of Namibia so she wasn't used to living poor in our small town and she also said that if a father changes his daughter's diapers when she is a baby that she is more likely to grow up to be promiscuous.

At the end of the semester she told me she misplaced every single assignment I ever turned in and was going to fail me unless I redid every assignment. These were worksheets so it wasn't as easy as printing out a new copy of a paper. She told me to meet her on a certain date/time to turn in the assignments again to her or else I would fail, so I drove several hours to her office and had the papers ready. Turns out she was out of town on vacation. I couldn't get into contact with her ever again. I complained to the administration but lol like they cared.

Supply Chain Management. I forget the name, but it had one of those novels that's just a thinly veiled textbook. On top of that, it was completely useless when it came to my major (Management Information Systems).

I didn't say it was hard. It's just tedious and pointless. I don't enjoy it. To be honest, I don't enjoy any of the classes I'm taking in uni except finance. Finance is cool.

I have TA'd and taught this class. I didn't take it, but as a breadth requirement class it's incredibly soul crushing to teach. the students typically care only enough to complain for better grades while putting no effort into learning or even remembering basic algebra from HS.

Probably some leadership class at John Hopkins where this nut job conservative taught it and spent hrs extolling the virtues of Rudy Giuliani and playing these weird nationalistic videos with flags & eagles and poo poo. This was in 06-07 so the lady was basically campaigning for the guy.

Leadership classes are the worst. TO think that you can learn to be a leader by taking a class. no. leaders aren't made. They are born.
