First students of a new course is also high up there. The teacher has completely new lesson plans, students have no buddies who took it before, it's a pretty wild ride.
And don't forget the first students who are used to test out a new form of exam! Or a new teacher. After uselessly trying to talk with that one teacher we've had 2/3 of us boycott her class and go to the dean's office every time instead to argue that it was horrible, the teacher was condescending and worse of all we weren't learning anything. The remaining third went to class and gave them their notes or even recording so that they'd have proof. After hearing that she had given us 2hours to read a 2 pages paper while she was typing her notes for the next hour without anyhting else to do, he assured us she won't be there next year. That's something the next ones won't have to deal with.
