The extra lit classes I now have to take because I switched schools and the GE requirements are different. Also, the two classes I will now have to take to fulfill my "International" and "Multicultural" requirements.

"Internet" class back in high school. In the good old days when computers were still just for geeks. The entire class slacked that semester and played Quake almost every day on an old-ass token ring network.
I remember that year I also got heckled by some mallrats because I was using a cellphone. Who's laughing now bitches?!

Geog 1120 Environmental Issues class sucks. I've had more fun with a hang nail then that class. The average boost that the class will provide is nice but it still sucks the long hard one.
math.
it is SO FUCKING BORING. just, good god man, make something happen.
also, homework as a whole just pisses me off.
why? why are we doing the same damn thing, just at home? unless its something that may genuinely require going home to do it (like writing a ghost story, forthe winexample) why on earth aren't we doing it in class?

Databases. It's taught by a professor who speaks the worst English I have ever heard, and I've been around a lot of bad English. And the course makes no sense to me.
"Write an SQL query that selects patients that are in the highest mean of accidents in the state of least accidents!"
Er... Couldn't I do it in Java..? Please?
Also, all of the Statistics classes that I have behind me. I have friends taking them now and I can't help them because my brain actually destroyed the useless knowledge that was taking up precious space. Take that, Boneferroni.

My current math, and Allied Health Class (long story short: wannabe doctors, don't want to clean old people). Terrible classes, and teachers.
I had to take "Music Appreciation" to fulfill my "Arts and Communications" requirement and we spent the first quarter of the semester on Medieval/Renaissance music and it was dreadful. The only interesting thing about it is to see how much better musical instruments made things.Jeffrey Ross said:
Right now my least favorite class is probably Physics, but only because the professor is particularly terrible.
C period Economics. Our teacher gives us college work and says "Durrr, your gonna have to do work like this in college, durrr" and Im all like "This isnt college! This is high school!"
He's also secretly a communist........Im being taught american economics by a communist.........yep

I hate that kind of thing with a passion. I see it a lot.Dango said:
Other times it isn't the teacher, it's what they teaching. The curriculum is terrible but the teacher can't teach anything else.
I have never once directly applied any portion of Calculus to any CS project. I have, however, made use of linear algebra and set theory. That being said, this is mostly because the sort of problems I have been asked to solve have not dealt with the very particular problems calculus exists to help resolve - that is, I've never need to find the precise area under a curve (an estimation was always sufficient) nor have I needed to find the instantaneous rate of change of some function on the fly.Twilight_guy said:
I'm fairly pleased about that. Mostly because I'm sure I'd be required to actually write the code to differentiate and integrate and that just seems like a pain in the ass.
EDIT
I take it back. I did once use a Riemann sum as part of a method to find an estimated general area of a graphical object. There were other ways to find it, but I found that if I handled my data structures correctly a computationally expensive Riemann sum was generally quicker than, say, a linear search. Most of the time at least.
Had to take a 'Creativity, Innovation and Teamwork' module before I dropped out, which wasn't very much to my liking.
I can see how it could be useful, since it helped me build a pretty good CV and was pretty informative about the biotech industry. But it was still sort of annoying, purely on principle. I can't abide that go-getting, gung-ho American businessman bullcrap.
Hell, I've retained the information for when I go to college again next year.

I have 6 hours a week doing social theory and qualitative research methods. I took criminology and yet I have to do this BS? If I wanted to do that, I would have chose to do Criminology and Sociology combined.
Extended project. Its forced on us at sixth form, and conists of wiritng a huge document on a question, and its ALL homework. As if maths wasnt taken up about 4 hours a day.
In my college there is a lesson type called "critical thinking".
It's basically a lesson in advanced arguing.
