What has been the hardest university/college course you've ever taken and explain why that was. Was the material just too difficult for you to grasp? Did your professor make it impossible to pass the class? Did you have some underlying hardships outside of school that affected you during the time ? Whatever it was, please feel free to share. Thanks.

Any structural engineering course is difficult for me, I always have trouble with them. No wonder I went for a specialization in Hydraulics and Water Resources.
The hardest on my masters is Structural Design, the teachers usually say that if you haven't passed on all previous courses related to it, you'd be better off not even trying. They do like to make it hard.
Know a lot of people who finished all other courses, masters thesis included, but are still failing at these exams.

It depends on the subject:
On courses related to construction and management I get good grades, but not too high.
On geotechnical courses I suck, because they are usually related to stuctural stuff. If they are about geology then it's even worse, because I find those really uninteresting.
On Transportation courses I have okay grades.
On Hydraulics related stuff I have high/very high grades (for instance my latest hydrological modelling project was rated 19 out of 20, and I did it with high fever lol).
Basically the more I like something, the more motivation I have and thus I get better grades.
I also really dislike studying, but doing practical projects is something that I find fulfilling. I'm a very practical and pragmatic person, theory annoys me.

Forgot the second question, sorry.
The overwhelming majority of my exams are free-response, usually envolving a lot of calculations.
I've had a new multiple choice exams, but they usually require us to read though a dreadful amount of stuff (for instance 3000 powerpoint slides + class notes), so they can get really hard if the exam has many trick questions - and let's be honest, there is no way anyone can actually know all that shit by heart in one semester.
