Lol he was a pretty cool guy, its not like he was completely dull and boring as a person, it was his teaching style; but I dunno I was just mortified every single lecture, plus if I ever sat in the back rows I would fall asleep, so I eventually ended up at the front! But I don't recall any remarkable jokes from him apart from "I have spies everywhere" and the "parking guys still gave me a ticket in a major snowstorm" and "In Bangladesh they would have killed the Maple Leafs Owner" :S

Hardest course yet? I'm not sure; I guess Math 1Z04 because I didn't really go to class as often as I should have and fell behind on the homework. I don't think I ever did learn Newton's Method, lol. I also found it to take a ridiculously long time to calculate Taylor Series (even the easy ones :().

I still got a 9 in the end though, so I'm not complaining :p.

Physics 1D03 and 1E03 were challenging I guess, but all the CAPA answers were on webct . The exam for 1E03 was a little ridiculous though... I have no idea how I ended with an 11 in that course 0.o.

Elec Eng 3TR4, this course is rediculous.

I'd have to go with Chem 1A03. Mostly due to the prof I had.

Content-wise, it was biochem 2BB3 (yeah yeah, biochem kids can begin mocking me ). I didn't necessarily get a low mark in this class, but for some reason that's still beyond me I had quite a difficult time with some of the concepts.

Evaluation-wise, it's definitely Chem 2OB3. That was the most difficult exam I've ever written and the first where I actually left some questions completely blank.

For me it's either Poli Sci 1G06 or Psych 1X03. Poli Sci was very very boring, and while a lot of people like Alway, I found it very hard to keep up with him. I had a TA who didn't really seem to care, and plus the reading material was hard to stomach.

While learning the material for Psych was easy, it was the tests that made it really difficult. I also disliked doing video lectures, very hard to keep focus.

Engineer 1D04. My brain does not work in programming languages. Those classes mainly consisted of me leaving in tears. Ugh.
