Least Favorite Class

[Dion]

Diane: Actually, I'd like to join you, but I have class tonight.
Thornton Melon: Oh. How 'bout tomorrow night?
Diane: I have class then, too.
Thornton Melon: I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Preaching to the choir man....last semester at University the laptop was a huge distraction, but school sucks, so meh.

You must be getting a kick out of all the oldsters on here wanting to go back to school for kicks huh? I could never get out fast enough.

I actually dont mind school, but yeah going back in your thirties for "fun" doesn't make sense to me.

Any engineer worth anything should know long division. That's just odd, to not know one of the building blocks of math.

Worst course for me was the only one I failed, Digital Signal Processing. Looking back on it, it shouldn't have been hard, but I went to a total of zero classes the first time around. The prof wouldn't bump me up from a 3 to a 4, probably because he had no idea who I was. Friggin Zoltan.

all English classes in HS, they is the worst ever. Never I learned a thing at them. Maths is easy.

What are you, 12? A lot of perfectly good ideas don't make sense to you.

And turn down your damn music.

Ugh I agree, I don't need to know how to critically analyze Shakespeare's play to be successful in life.

[Phanuthier]

High school English was really tough for me... Shakespear, poetry, wtf? who talks like that? On the final exam, I think I got something like 38%, good thing I had a high average going on and polished off English 20 with a beautiful 65%. woot

V - DSP's are definitely boring to learn. Pretty cool to actually do, as I work with alot of DSP's (particularly building circuits to perform DSP's, RFIC's, et al) but god, actually doing it by hand was so repetitive.

[HelloHockeyFans]

In high school - definitely anything related to poetry... uggh I absolutely hated that... could never understand Shakespeare and was never able to read a poem about seemingly unrelated things and realize that the writer was talking about some deep meaning....

In university - friggin' Random Signals and Systems... basically a probability/stats course but more tuned into electrical engineering stuff... holy hell, only final I was ever scared about my entire post secondary career...

[Swarly]

I remember in English 30 the teacher wanted us to keep a journal of everyday and hand it in for marks. WTF does that have to do with anything? I'm not a 12 year old girl. 0% on assignments, low 90's on tests, gets you a nice meaty 65 range pass in English. Loved those reading comp tests, standardized tests ftw

[Rathji]

Every English course up till English 30, where I caught my teacher at the strippers at the T&C during our mutual spare. He imparted the wisdom on me of how to ace the written final, which is memorizing an exam that you have perfected during the year that is general enough to be adapted to any topic.

Ugh...so I dragged my ass out of bed to make it to my tutorial this morning, and there's 5 other people here.

[Coach]

^^ Sociology?

[Berger_4_]

Yeah...I hadn't been to a tutorial in pretty well the entire year, and I have to present next week so I thought I'd go and see if I could get an idea about what I want to do. I probably could've figured that one out on my own haha.

[Coach]

You wanna send me a PM with some details about this? I havent been since the first tutorial and was going to come today but was late and said screw it.

[chid]

Not necessarily a hard course but Ancient Chinese Art History, had to be the most boring class I've ever taken. I love the prof's regular art history but he just stuck with pottery for the entire semester. It got to the point where if I saw one more bowl or vase made in ANY dynasty I couldn't take it anymore and just left the class.

Speedwriting, which was a requirement for Mount Royal's journalism program in the mid-90s (hopefully they've discontinued it in favour of more useful skills). It revolved around cursive writing, something I hadn't done since grade nine when I reverted to printing because my handwriting was so poor. It was just a brutal class for me, and it was at 8:00 in the morning. And you couldn't just ignore the class because it was full of dictation exercises that the instructor would collect at the end of class.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Accounting. That stuff is counter-intuitive to me.

[Sainters7]

Shakespeare(and its a Senior-level course). I have to take it for my English minor, I've got it every Tuesday night. Pretty much the worst 3 hours of my week, every week. It doesn't help that there's only 9 people in the class, its largely discussion-based, and every person in the class but me is a huge Shakespeare buff. I basically make the odd point once every couple classes to get participation marks, and spend the rest of the time playing Wheel of Fortune Deluxe on my cellphone.

...I haven't read a single book either, I tried and didnt understand a single word. Thank the high heavens for Spark Notes.
