Default Hardest class you have taken so far at UND?

Aviation or not. What is the hardest class you have taken so far at UND? I am about to start Physics 150 and I am definitely expecting a challenge. Just need to keep on top of the reading and I think I will do well.

I had acct 200 with that guy. WORST class I've ever taken.

I'd say CFI was the hardest so far. Mainly the work in the flight lab. Only because I took 18 credits with it. It would have been a cake walk if I had done the recommended 12.

So far I've found college to be easier than highschool.

I have a feeling Comm 110, Public Speaking, is gonna kill me. As funny as it may sound, but I'm stage fright when it comes to presenting in front of fifteen thousand million students.

I loved Public Speaking. We had to do about 8 different PowerPoint presentations (Persuasive, Teaching a Process/Topic, etc) and every single time I managed to talk about BMW

One of them I persuaded people to buy BMWs, another one I taught people the pros and cons of RWD/FWD/AWD cars and put in a plug for BMW, another I did on BMWs marketing, how to drive a manual transmission... it was fun

I started the class tonight. I am taking it once a week and I have the best prof ever. All he does is tell stories and jokes around. Should be a real gpa booster.

I somehow managed to pass the AP exam in high school for micro economics. I still have yet to call collegeboard to have them send in the scores. I have been trying to get around to that since school started.

I'd have to say Calculus Math 146 with Stuart Farm. That guy is seriously in love with math and is a terrible professor.

Runner up would be Physics, one of our tests the average score was 17.

i thought farm was a cool guy. he really does love math, but everyone gave him a hard time.

the math covered in his course is not particularly challenging anyway. its like "pre-calculus" in high school.

Yeah I need to look up the number. I remember I tried calling before but they were closed.

Right now I just started my college algebra class. And it is super easy. I am assuming it will get harder in a couple weeks.

Meanwhile, I stumbling through unit analysis in physics. Besides that I have everything else down.

For those of you in Physics, try to do the HW since no one practically does them. It will put you ahead of the class for sure. Another thing is to find a good lab partner, mine helped me out so much with the more challenging concepts. And good luck to those of you who are taking Physics now. Took it last semester and I am definitely glad to be done with it.

I was fortunate enough to have it with Wagner. My room mate took it the semester after me which was also Wagner's last semester. He had troubles in it. I don't know if the class was harder or if the instructor just wasn't that good.

Finally got my macro economics credit sent in. For as long as I put it off, once I found the phone number it was really easy.

Now I just have to put up with micro economics.
