Most boring class you ever took in college

I had the absolute worst prof. for it, which didn't help. Still, it wasn't all that interesting to me. With most things in law it's a matter of personal preference.

Law, finance, stats... actually most classes were pretty damn boring.

Jeez not much love for mathematics in this thread. I'm applying to Math PHD programs next year and hopefully their won't be much competition.

Also I fell asleep everyday in my freshmen english class.

Computer Science so far. The coding part was interesting enough, but we had to go through a lot of boring theory that we didn't really need.

Also had some terrible classes during my last year of high school (we finished the year we turned 19, so I guess that's equivalent to freshman year?) In Norway we decided to have two written languages, so we had to spend quite some time learning the one that's written by 10-15% of the population.

took a math class my first semester of college that was matrices all semester long, and the TA was Ukrainian and spoke like a robot with a really thick accent that none of us could understand. Stopped going after about two weeks, but took all the exams.

Construction building class while in Arch school; class was in a windowless room adjacent to the space that held the AC units (provided a nice steady sleep inducing humming), teacher turned off the lights and proceeded to show us slides for 3 hours, while talking in a deathly boring mono-tone voice peppered with a thick accent.

10 minutes into the class 80% of the students were asleep.

Ugh, matrices. We've been working with matrices for the last month in my math class now, and we're finally getting closer to the end.

Psychological statistics. It's easy enough math, just terribly dull.

I forgot how much of a factor classrooms are in determining a course's dullness. Never enjoyed classes in the basement despite the interesting subject matter.

Both semesters of Stats, mostly because of the professors.

Also, I enjoyed the hell out of African American lit and history. I was the white guy in the class, but still, it was awesome. The late-slavery to early Reconstruction era is an especially interesting time period, to which pretty much nobody pays attention anymore.

I loved American Lit 1, which the prof. focused on slavery/subsequent fallout. Of course, I'm a Lit nerd

I took two courses in Matrices. Ya, they are pretty ****ing brutal. Pretty useful though.

Microeconomics should be fantastic with a good professor.


My worst was Group Discussion. My badminton class was more intellectually stimulating.

Political science 201.

The professor made an interesting subject dull: her exams where made by the textbook company, she only presented slides made by the textbook company. Exams were online.

A waste of my money!
