No by BAM. It was a long time ago, almost ten years ago.

First year first and second semesters: Introduction to French(DR. Kay was a hell of a lecturer; literally made the course difficult for those without the prior knowledge of French in high school.)

Second year first and second semesters: European Diplomacy(Handled by the most clueless lecturer ever- Dr. Gbeneye. Students usually dozed off in his class. Later, 40% of the class had F in the course); Latin American History and Diplomacy(Sir Nwon. N- If you are well birthed by your parents, come to his class a minute after 7am, you are doomed!)

Third Year first semester: Decolonization in Africa and Rise of America as a world power- Dr. Gbeneye again. Two courses handled at the same time by a retard. This time around, the most intelligent students failed with reckless abandon! He is the most dreaded lecturer in the department! Slow but lethal!)

MAT 202, Ordinary Differential Equations. It's commonly called O.D.E. but later nicknamed ODi Egwu.

These courses were quite easy for me. It required understanding of the concepts.

Calculus still remain my worst course ever in statistics dept., I just finished my Nd, am going for Hnd, except I will come across a tougher course in Hnd, calculus is still the worst and the lecturer one Mrs Ifeoma did not help matter at all.

cheesy Did 107 three times. After failing it in part 1 due to missing graph book, wearing lab coat every first semester became a norm for me. When I finally passed it first semester in my final year, I swore that I will kidnap that short bush-bearded-moustache lab man if i could. The memories are poignant really. Thank God i'm free now.

Laplace Transforms(Advanced Calculus) was a nightmare especially after a scored zero over 20 in the first test my worlds were almost falling apart because the fear of Onyia(late) was like men...... But I later buckled up and braced a B.

Although tough courses normally come accros my ways here in tuskite republic . Some of them as a result of the lecturers sheer frustration to the students and delibrate ignorance in the course . I have done so many hard courses but aside from them the one that prooved most challenging was nuclear physics ,full of pooves,caculations and manipulations to the extent that if you dont start solving and writing in the air while walking you havent started reading and initiated in the course ,still yet somany failures when the result came out. the lecturer frustrated so many students ,he doesnt care if you are having the last spill in school because of this course many students never graduated.

,funny but painfull enough a strong crusade titled MY FATHER ,MY FATHER NUCLEAR PHYSICS MUST DIE ,was organised by joint student fellowship pastors and students .

Where they invited prophets ,and men of god but that never changed anything. Come and see tears that day the result was pasted in my department especially those that had consumed their last chance in the school. I thanked the grace that made it possible for me to scale through the hurdle ,i had a C . Infact as i am writing am the happiest one today
University of Uyo, one of the toughest universities out there.

The faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences (NAS) was an Afghanistan of some sort during my days. I hope those sadistic lecturers have changed.

Getting a first class from Uyo then is as improbable as having a camel pass through the eye of a needle. I don't know whether that has changed.

Laplace transform was not hard for me then. Including ODE and strength of materials. I actually really lik strength of material ( Eng 305- first semester, Eng306 - second semester)

The course was THERMODYNAMICS. Thank God am nt in chemical engn.

Chatting with a friend and former coursemate also serving right now and he reminded me of the worst course we wrote during our final exam. It's called Multidisciplinary Case Study and it contains all the course we did from ND-1 to HND-2. Imagine every course you have learnt from year 1 to 4 combine together became a course. I swear people cry that day for inside exam hall.

Share yours. smiley

Molecular Biology. The more one read the course the less I understand. Imagine those molecular terms. its the only course I got a pass during my degree program. If not for this I would have graduated with first class lower. Alhamdulillah I graduated with second class upper.

What was hard about this course?!

Sounds pretty simple to me..

Lol! No be Vehicle Transportation o! Na one engineering course! It's kinda tough and the lecturer that took us no try @ all

Course Description
Principles of heat and mass transfer. Steady and transient conduction and diffusion. Radiative heat transfer. Convective transport of heat and mass in both laminar and turbulent flows. Emphasis on the development of a physical understanding of the underlying phenomena and upon the ability to solve real heat and mass transfer problems of engineering significance.

Mine was something similar to this.
Medical psychology and medical philosophy. I just hate those two courses for no reason.
And the 3rd one is bioethics cos of the psycho lecturer.
I perform better in psycho than phil but psycho scares me more.my most feared phil couse was metaphysics. Interesting but confusing such that u think u know just to find out that u know nothing. I use to sleep in the class and the priest taking the couse was always saying things that are unapplicable to human life. So abstract. I cud sleep from 10am to 12pm during metaphysiscs.

Calculus as a course requires deep grasping of its fundamental concepts, like I opined earlier and a lot of students miss out here probably as a result of unfounded fear or something related to it.
I offered courses such as Ordinary Differential Equation I and II (Advanced) and they were all easy. I forget to mention that mathematics is my first love.

GOD bless FUTOITES in world over!

Dr. Bamisaye also taught me.

During the test he dictated the questions for us to write them down and immediately after the lenghty dictation (3 lenghty questions) he told us to submit the answers.

He even began tearing the scripts of those that could not submit ontime.

That was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life.

The venue of the test was Main Bowl, Sport Center. Many people were standing and so many people could not even hear enough to write down the questions.
