So far, biochem. We've only had one of the two midterms so far (second is on the Monday before Thanksgiving), and even though it was open note and book, the average was something like 60. I got a 62 and that averaged to around a B or B-. Pretty crazy, in my opinion.
Ochem was okay, but I was taking intro bio and physics at the same time and it was difficult to prioritize ochem and physics, especially since the midterms seemed to coincide some of the time. I feel like if I had put more time into ochem, I could have gotten an A, but I didn't so I ended up with a B and a B- in the first two quarters, and then third quarter we got a new teacher and he completely lost me all the way through so I got a C+. That was my fault, though, because I kept waiting until it was too late to go in for help. Plus, chemistry and I are mortal enemies. If it has "chemistry" in the name, odds are I will be horribly biased against it.
I actually loved ochem lab, though. I wasn't very good at it--I dropped things constantly, usually at the end of the two hours of heating it, and the concepts were kinda annoying--but the TAs that I had and the people who were in my lab were really funny. It made the four hour labs pass by quicker than I was expecting they would.
