Top 5 most depressing classes I took at Baruch

  1. HIS 1001- an online course where the professor recorded every lecture as a podcast and the audio was beyond terrible. Weirdest part of all was that another professor (not TA, it was another full time professor) graded everything.

  2. CIS 2300- I regret not taking it back when it was remote. Writing code on paper for exams was awful.

  3. STA 4155- every class I played sudoku, mini crossword, and wordle to pass the time

  4. CIS 2200- every bone in my body ached when I walked into this class. Tested my sanity every afternoon. Did seeing Schwartz bang on his chest like a gorilla traumatize me? Yeah.

  5. OPR 3450- a class with no logic and no windows (would’ve jumped out if there were). Strangest professor ever who asked us to print out a picture of ourselves on a notecard and hand it to him. Exams with no way to prepare and worth 90% of our grade. I still get messages from desperate students about surviving it and I’m not sure what to say.
