[griffin3141]

Easiest: Physics

Hardest: Real Analysis

 

[WillburCobb]

Easiest - Wind Ensemble
Hardest - Instrumental Conducting

 

[Gauss44]

Easiest for me: Sciences and math. (I'm naturally good at science and math.)

Hardest for me: A sight-reading singing class (Under my circumstances, I didn't read music like the rest of the class at the beginning of the semester and had to learn extremely fast, and my dorm's piano was out of tune without my knowing which made things more difficult.)

I was a first generation college student and honestly didn't know that college grades mattered or that graduate school existed when I was a freshman, so I took classes that interested me regardless of how I thought I would perform.

 

[Uafl112]

Based on grades.... Gen. Chem 1&2<Bio1<cell biology< Physics 1<orgo 3 (only at my school)< Physics 2<Bio 2< orgo 1&2

I only included science classes

 

[zachdwphoto]

freshmen Biology was easiest
physics 2 or orgo 1 hardest for me

 

[jturkel]

this is school dependent. at my school, physics and ochem were the hardest. easiest class i took was intro to piano

 

[Mr Roboto]

Easiest: Physics
Hardest: Genetics

 

[listener23]

Easiest class for me: orgo 1

Hardest class: gen chem 2

 

[Willy38]

Easiest: psychology
Hardest: physical chemistry

 

[deleted407021]

Easiest: US History

Most Difficult (annoying): Physics II

 

[sharkbyte]

Easiest: Psych Stats

Hardest: Gen Chem 1 or Ochem 2. Ochem 1 is also up there.

 

[meander]

Easiest: Intro Comp Sci
Hardest: Complex Analysis

 

[Contr0lz]

Hardest: Transport Phenomena (Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Momentum Transfer combined into one class )

 

[amazing tekkers]

easiest: general biology
hardest: physical anthropology

 

[feli_owl]

Easiest: Creative Writing
Hardest: Calculus 2

 

[WestCoastNative]

I think that anyone who took this class will agree with me without a doubt..... philosophy! Really interesting as well.

 

[Doudline]

Hmm... hard to say, because classes far in my memory are difficult to judge objectively.

Easiest: Calculus 1

Hardest: Waves, Optics & Quantum Physics? The professor was absolutely unbearable and made everything much more complicated than it could have been.

 

[DocWinter]

Easiest - psychology
Hardest - physics 1. I had a poor algebra background and essentially had to relearn algebra during it.

 

[prettyNURSEtoMD]

Easiest: Bio and OChem and Pharmacology

Hardest: World Lit & Gen Chem I

 

[ninjahedgehog]

Easiest: Organic Chemistry I
Hardest: Anything related to analysis.

 

[Muffinho]

Easiest: Biol100
Hardest: Real Analysis or Topology

 

[Chillywilly]

Easiest: biochem I
Hardest: tie between Orgo 1 & developmental bio

Yes my biochem class was easier than my bio 101. If you went to my school and had this professor you would understand why lol. He should've been fired. Ugh

 

[rainbow girl]

Easiest: computer literacy
Hardest: instrumental analysis

 

[Godspeedyou]

Engineer, math, and physics majors laugh at every post ITT

 

[Harpsx]

Easiest: Psych
Hardest: Immunology - Though it was mostly my fault as there were just way too many molecule names/confusing plating experiments to cram

 

[Muffinho]

Engineer, math, and physics majors laugh at every post ITT

About 1/3 of the posts have mentioned an upper year math, physics or engineering class (that only a math, engineering or physics major would take) as their hardest class. I can't imagine the average Bio major saying "Going to take complex analysis, yolo" 0_O

 

[ElleAych]

Easiest: Phys
Hardest: Stats. I hate math so I pretty much hate every single moment of this class.

 

[Spinach Dip]

Easiest: OCHEM
Hardest: Intermediate swimming

 

[mimelim]

Easiest: Calc 3

Hardest: Mechanics 411

I posted Complex Analysis, I was a math major, and I laughed a lot of these posts.

 

[Muffinho]

I posted Real Analysis or Topology and was a Math major. Complex Analysis is the only math class I got an A in (I never attended any of my lectures, and I didn't study either). I can hardly laugh at what someone else finds difficult. My ex-girlfriend thought her quantitative methods for sociology class was difficult while I was sitting there trying to figure out what the Heine-Borel theorem was about. Doesn't mean it wasn't difficult for her.

 

[SoSimplyKari]

Easiest: Biochem I

Hardest: Gen Bio I

...I think I'm weird...

 

[AlbinoHawk DO]

From easiest to hardest for me was: Bio 1, Bio 2, Physics 1, O. Chem 1, Physics 2, O. Chem 2, G. Chem 1, G. Chem 2.

While you seem like an optimistic person, that's not how it works.
Thermodynamics is objectively more difficult than sociology, where you would have to intentionally study the wrong information just to get something under an A

Of course, and I never denied that. I just don't see any reason to laugh at what someone else finds difficult.

 

[deleted407021]

Yeah, I know some physics majors who can barely tie their shoes, much less tackle a 25 page sociology paper.

Exactly. I think that numerous people ITT would be surprised about how much logical thinking and analysis skills a rigorous sociology, philosophy or literature class requires.

 

[BamaNicole]

Easiest: African Drumming

Hardest: Orgo

Sometimes, too much value is based on science classes. Some (at least one) on SDN have had the sentiment that only hard science majors should get into medical school -_-. There's a lot to the humanities and social sciences that people need to explore.

Yep! I've done quite a bit of math, and more recently some philosophy, and there's a lot of logical thinking that's common to both. It always bothers me when people make fun of "easy" majors -- difficulty is relative, and there are many science/math/engineering majors who couldn't think critically about a written work to save their lives.

 

[Gregor Wiesmann]

Easiest: General Chemistry or English
Hardest: Biology(First Quarter)
(Sophomore)

 

[Gregor Wiesmann]

Easiest: Biochem I

Hardest: Gen Bio I

...I think I'm weird...

Bio I was crazy hard for me too......Gymnosperms and Angiosperms? Zygomycota? Platyhelminthes? WHAT?

 

[MedTerp]

Easiest: Intro to research methods lol
Hardest: definitely fluid mechanics

 

[bakedbeans18]

Easiest: Psychology
Hardest: Laboratory in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Moral of the story: when your advisor tells you it's okay to take a 400 level laboratory course in your freshman year, find a new advisor.

 

[PhillyMed777]

Hardest - Organic Chemistry 1
Easiest - Tie for Introduction to Music and Introduction to Theatre

 

[Boolean]

Easiest: Introduction to Medical Careers (Simple, informative, and necessary to graduate)
Hardest: Mathematical Logic and Proof. You take it after you take Calc II, and I was not too keen about waking up at 4 to commute to school in order to make it to class (the professor literally just read off the slides)

Wait, your easiest class wasn't transformations?

I tell you what. I'm looking forward to not resting my eyes on a single physics equation for an entire year after physics II is over.
