The last 8am class I had was something like economics, the professor had a strange pride in the fact that students were too tired to come to class and enjoyed marking them tardy and taking off points.
I had this too - one professor who taught the only two sections of a class required for the CS major. He always made them 8 am, and made a point about doing that. Walked in like clockwork on the dot every session and bellowed "Well good morning class! It sure is a beautiful morning, isn't it?"
I had an intro economics professor who was very similar. I think the class was at 8:30AM and the professor was very proud of the way he handled late homework assignments.
There was a box for homework at the front of the large lecture hall that 10 minutes after class began the professor would place the lid on the box and tape it shut. If your homework wasn't in it before then you got a 0 with no recourse.
Total nonsense, but it was a required class for engineers. I barely passed and did not give a fuck about that.
I had a required 7:30am class my freshman year. The professor started each class by rapping her ruler on the front table to startle everyone. Then, she individually called out people who nodded off. What a nightmare.
