I'm an Economics minor, so that isn't too bad for me. I did terrible in statistics. It didn't help that my professor spoke with a very thick accent. Most of the class failed, but I got away with a D. It really hurt my GPA, but I was one of the lucky ones. I think the highest grade anyone scored on his exams in my class was an 82%. Next grade was a C, a few D's, and most were below 40%.

Don't sweat it. Just get through it. I can say with absolute certainty that you won't use that info in your profession. I never do!

So far, my toughest course has been CAD. The subject is not tough, the instructor makes it tough. The instructor is from Kenya, does not use a book (he makes his own manual), he does not speak or write very good English, and oh yeah, did I mention this class is offered ONLY on-line?! I really feel like he knows CAD, it is just really hard to understand his videos and literature. It really sucks that a required class is only available on-line. Plus he is really vague with his instructions.

Civil Engineering here.... Probably calc 2-3 because calc two was purely integration and calc three we had a dick of a teacher....

But favorite hard class... Physics... tough, but worth the reward

Hey, hit me up if you need help? I used autocad 2009 and 2010 and got it decent enough to do the basic houses etc...
