I considered adding an exception, but then I remembered Math Studies is really two classes. I definitely found Math Studies less than twice as hard as 251.

Of course, I might also say that I five-sixths assed Math Studies and three-halves-assed 251.

Maybe I shouldn't have rushed to make that statement. It certainly made graph theory with Mackey look like kindergarten, but I'm now remembering the stories about graph theory with Pikhurko and Set Theory.

I got off easy with doing Set Theory with Greggo. I know that Cummings once taught it ... and assigned 6 homeworks! That class must have been impossible.

EDIT: I just read over their final ... and it looks as hard as either of the math studies algebra finals.

You can count math studies as up to 5 classes, since that's the number of normal-track classes it covers.

Also, having TA'ed graph theory for pikhurko and mackey, and having TA'ed 251 twice, I still see 251 as the hardest.
