A&P I&II were hard for me, but fun too. Had a great instructor. Just a lot of new stuff being thrown at you. Micro was fun for same reason. Night class. Instructor headed lab of major hospital and brought in neat slides for us to consider.

I personally LOVED A&P 1, I actually did so great in the lab for the following semester I was selected to be an assistant teaching assistant!

However, I HATED microbiology!! It was really hard for me and didn't really like it because the subject matter was on such a small scale (bacteria/viruses)

How about everyone else?

My most favorite class so far has been A&P II. I have a fascination with the cardiovascular and respiratory systems which were covered in that class. I think Patho will end up being my most favorite though. I love studying disease.

My least favorite, as far as lecture goes, was Micro. I got an A in it but the subject matter was so boring to me. I was very happy when it was over.

Love, love, love all the science courses...specifically microbiology, chemistry I, anatomy, and physiology. I find them interesting and I really enjoy the challenge! Of those mentioned, I'd say general chemistry I has been the hardest for me concept-wise, but I've stayed on top of it and have done really well in the class!

Nutrition was okay. It wasn't my favorite but I didn't hate it either.

Not too terribly thrilled with sociology or ethics. I've got As in those two, but I don't find either particularly interesting and it's that lack of interest that makes it a kind of challenge I don't enjoy!!!

I am taking Micro right now and I think it is one of the harest classes (and not as interesting as I thought). I have to admit that I have learned a lot from Micro. I understand bacteria and viruses much better now.

I thought that Nutrition was extremely easy. I didn't have to study that much and got a very high A. I think my teacher was just easy though. And plus I find nutrition interesting, so I already knew a lot about it. I was surprised how little most of my classmates knew.

A&P I and II were really hard but also very interesting. I learned so much in both of those classes.

Chemistry is hard and not that interesting. One thing I like about it is that once you get it you get it. And not that much memorizing. I think I liked all my classes in one way or another.

I'm having a really hard time with microbiology right now. Sure, the labs are fun and the professor is nice... but the amount of information thrown at us is overwhelming. It doesn't help that I'm taking A&PII right now as well, but surprisingly that class isn't so bad. I can't wait until micro's over with and I hope I'll get at least a C because I really don't feel like retaking it. The books were insanely expensive! $160 for the text, $91 for the lab book and then $20 for the class notes.

I loved all the core sciences and didn't think any of them were particularly difficult.

I didn't care for statistics, nutrition, nor human development. None were hard but neither did I find them interesting.

The easiest of the them all? Probably chemistry.
The most difficult? Microbiology, but mostly because of the teacher -- Out of about 50 people, I carried the only A into the final...
