@FortyTwo In computer science I recall an instructor I recall teaching Assembly I and Assembly II (Assembly Machine Coding). He was a 'bastard' and the only professor I knew who could write true/false statements for a test or quiz and leave you scratching your head afterwards as if your mind had been twisted. We cursed bitterly but were glad to have him hone our minds into logical thinking machines.

My college girlfriend despised her inorganic chemistry teacher.

This is the way...

Inorganic chemistry, tough courses.
I remember lessons going through a bunch of different NMR spectra which were almost impossible to decipher in the couple of minutes they would be shown for.

But inorganic chemistry is very important to understand.
Both basic and advanced, even though I have to admit the most important part of it is in the primary industry and not in specialized sectors.

That said, there is so much to improve there for stuff that is traditionally done through organic chemistry.
Since the people who understand it extensively it has been applied only marginally to advanced fields of research.
For example, it is very difficult to find metallorganic drugs and generally people working in the field just discard them because no proper methodologies to treat them have been developed.
