May 15, 201412 yr Then I have to assume that you must been a very industrious student. Were you? I was. I worked pretty hard at school. Last two years I had two jobs and an internship/volunteer work so grades slipped a bit but still managed to do well. Worst classes were probably o-chem, linear algebra and all history classes. I hated history.
May 15, 201412 yr I was. I worked pretty hard at school. Last two years I had two jobs and an internship/volunteer work so grades slipped a bit but still managed to do well. Worst classes were probably o-chem, linear algebra and all history classes. I hated history. History classes were my favorite and I always seemed to breeze through them with ease. Accounting came easy as did business classes but chemistry was incredibly boring, difficult and I hated every minute of it. Art history was the single most excruciating class I ever took. The first exam I failed in a huge way. Our scores were posted outside the classroom by our student ID number and mine was dead last. 46%. I'll never forget that the girl in front of me said "Oh my God! Look at that score! 46%! How could anybody score that low in Art History?" I looked closer saw it was my score and said "****!!" The girl turned around and looked at me and I said "yep, that's me. Thank me for the curve later." lol :ok: I went to the teacher (who was a very strict German woman) and I asked her for a re-do. I made up some sob story about an ill family member or something and she gave me a week to prepare and re-take and I got a C-. I was thrilled with this grade. What was your favorite class?
May 15, 201412 yr I went to community college first and majored in Math. I loved all my Calc classes. I remember my Calc 3 teacher was huge...crazy pregnant...like about to pop. She had a really strong New York accent, talked really fast and was difficult to understand...but I really liked her. Unfortunately I remember nothing of calculus and had to reteach myself Algebra 1 this year so I could help my stepdaughter with it. When I got to Penn State, my favorite class was Bio 240: Function and Development of Organisms. First half was animals and second half was plants. The teacher for the first half was this goofy little Canadian guy. He was awesome. I had him for Genetics too and I also really enjoyed that class. He once marked a question wrong on a test because I used a method leanred in a different class to come up with the answer and got a different answer than him. I went to his office to ask why it was wrong because I was really confused. He stared at it for a while and couldn't figure out why it would be wrong so gave me the credit. I bet that stumped him...having two different answers be correct for the same question. :) History classes were my favorite and I always seemed to breeze through them with ease. Accounting came easy as did business classes but chemistry was incredibly boring, difficult and I hated every minute of it. Art history was the single most excruciating class I ever took. The first exam I failed in a huge way. Our scores were posted outside the classroom by our student ID number and mine was dead last. 46%.

The girl turned around and looked at me and I said "yep, that's me. Thank me for the curve later." lol :ok: Oh yes...Art history. Awful class. Don't remember what I got but I remember sleeping...alot. Or just not going. I went to the teacher (who was a very strict German woman) and I asked her for a re-do. I made up some sob story about an ill family member or something and she gave me a week to prepare and re-take and I got a C-. I was thrilled with this grade. Oh I did this once too. Got a C in a Mammology test. I had waited till the night before to study...which happened to be the superbowl. So I watched the superowl and planned on just staying up all night to cram but wound up falling asleep. I went to him and said I had been sick and he was like "Oh, I thought you looked under the weather that day." Well, yeah I tried to stay up all night. He didn't make me retake it...just bumped my grade up to a B. :) What was your favorite class?
