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%.

Organic Chemistry is defiantly up there in hard classes, pretty sure I have a D+ or something like that

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.
