Bio I is pure memorization.

It was the most rewarding one for me by far. Def not the easiest though.
ochem II...
never studied until 3 days b4 the final..and I was playing broodwar at the time too. all because my prof gave us the choice of grading based between two mid-terms, the final, and the lab or just the final and the lab. I did poorly on the lab but super in the final...he gave me an A-....ah..the good ol' days..definitely the most laid back pre-req...
physics II sucked big time tho

y'know, same thing in my bio 1 class - every year, only about 2% (of a huge class) gets in A range, and something like half fail. The prof is known to be hard, mean, tough, whatever, but while it's true that he does have the oddest sense of humor i've had the misfortune to encounter, i didn't find the class itself all that hard. maybe because i took ap bio in hs?
in any case, it is hard to tutor these kids, with their grandiose dreams of johns hopkins med school, and know that they are failing out of bio 1... and the going, in my experience, just gets way tougher. "man plans, and God laughs..." but it is hard to see all those innocents with their dreams in ruins.

Bio I, hands down. I liked organic chemistry, and although the second semester was (for me at least) a repeat of sorts of the first term, I still had to be aggressive in my study habits to maintain my grade.
Physics I and II
Probably because I think in math.

Thinking back to my physics courses makes me return to a dark place which both time, medication, and an occasional volt or two have consipired to keep me from.....physics....
Easiest pre-req have to be G-Chem I.... like a 100m dash!
All Physics were the hardest... maybe I just didn't give much attention to our 80 yr old professor. That dude looked like he was setting a record for retirement age. Plus we were being curved against this girl who seemed to know the whole course from the begining... that was a bad experience overall. I am sure Physics would have been fun with little more effort from moi. 😀

That was orgo 1 and 2 for me. There was this guy in my class who put in, like, 4 hours of studying PER NIGHT for orgo... he used to sit there, when the class average was ~50, weeping over his 98, publicly; kinda made me want to take my really heavy orgo text and whap him over the head. Really annoying. Of course, the fact that I was only putting in maybe 2 hours a week may have contributed the teensiest bit to my feelings of inadequacy 😀 ... But that's ok; at the end of the semester, i think i had way more net fun than he did, and i didn't do too badly in orgo, either. 🙂

well at uva there was this one girl that actual took the course in the summer not for credit (not just one course either) .. then takes the real course during the school year.
i said physics b/c its the only course i actually got an A+ in the course 🙂
yea same here it meant nothing just an extra + on a transcript lol

I do agree, all intro biology are joke, actually most of the biology classes - all they want you to do is memorize.
However, I thought that O-Chem 1 was the easiest. It was simple mechanics. If you had the basics covered (meaning crammed all the IR, NAS, SN1, SN2, E1, E2 and nomancleature).
