The past-tense form of an い-adjectival is made by dropping the い, and replacing it with かった, followed by the predicate 「です」. Since the adjectival itself is in the past-tense, there's no need to do the same for the predicate.
Nope, because it conjugates おもしろい to おもしろかった. Past-tense い-adjectivals are never stated in their plain form followed by でした.
Can someone tell me how 'class' was pronounced here cuz it sounds odd to me

授業 is pronounced じゅぎょう ju gyou. The u sound in ju should be short, and the o sound in gyou is long.
I think the audio for this exercise is correct, but it's just so fast that the ju gets even shorter and sounds more like ji, which is common/normal for native speakers.

That's because it reads both ways, I'm pretty sure.
あの(That)せんせい(Teacher)の[Possessive]じゅぎょう(Class)
The class of [that teacher]
[That teacher]'s class

Isn't 先生 a treatment word? When you're referring to someone who's a teacher, you'd use another word, isn't that right?
Seriously? I wrote "this teacher" instead of "that teacher" and it was marked as wrong. Am I learning Japanese or English here?
That's not right either, sorry!
この - this
その - the/that (close to listener)
あの - that (far from listener)
Words of course then stem from こ、そ、あ、 such as これ、ここ、こちら.
You do use the/this/that in English with small differences, but not in Japanese.
