LTHM: English For Idiots Was Lame

LoveToHateMe: Thanks to my high standardized testing scores I didn’t have to take any remedial courses. I was, however, forced to take an English for Idiots course (as I called it). My school had a soft requirement of an English Composition course. I think it was EN 121. It covered the very basics of written English—things I’d covered ad nauseam since 6th grade. My counselor insisted that it was necessary, because high school courses just didn’t cut it, not even AP courses. I offered to test out of it, and they allowed that I could do that, but the cost of taking the test was the same as taking the class and would count against my 23-credit limit as a Freshman. I wouldn’t be able to fill the time with other courses. So I ended up just taking the dumb class and wasting three credits of time for a semester. It was annoying.

Question: Which class was the dumbest/lamest one that you took in college?
