What college courses would you be terrible at?

[superme80]

Accounting or anything science related.

I was not good at Physics at all.

if we are talking about if i were to take college courses now-i would bomb at everything! ds has learning disabilities so dh and i provide support to him for some of his classes and i can't make heads or tails of all the new english writing rules. the rules were hard set when i went to college but when ds was taking a basic english composition class last quarter it was so freaking confusing between what the textbook would say was a rule but then the instructor would put out as acceptable 'modern english' rules (largely to do with pronouns). i understand the concept when someone chooses a particular pronoun that they want to use for themselves but when part of the coursework is to read and make comments on other people's papers on decades deceased historical figures and the writer uses 'it' for everyone engaging in a discussion (vs. by their name or then accepted gender) it's next to impossible to follow.

Philosophy. Good gravy I was bored to tears. I couldn't get into it at all, and my grade showed it.

Physics. The one science that I did not enjoy. Blech!

Calculus and physics were issues for me. I was FINE in upper level courses, using and applying the principles of each, but actually passing calc 2 and physics 1 were almost impossible. I got a D+ in calc 2 (the second time around), C- in physics 1 (also round 2), and they waived physics 2 so I could graduate (I'd already taken the courses for which it was a pre-req and done well, so fortunately my dean realized it would be kind-of silly to make me take physics 2 in the summer).

Statistics!

Philosophy. Only class I ever dropped. I made it through about three classes, looked at the syllabus, it wasn't getting any better. To this day I wonder how this is an actual major in college. It basically a discussion of what people think when they are stoned out of their minds. REALLY stoned.
