- Aug 20, '12 by princesstl121For me, pharmacology was harder. In A&P, I could make sense out of each of the body systems we were talking about in class. It was very straight forward to me, and I understood the material. Pharm on the other hand was a lot of memorization like what is the mechanism of action of this drug, what is the therapeutic level of this... and so on and so forth. I struggled a lot in that class. But I know some of my classmates excelled in that class and made and A. So it all depends on who you are. Good luck to you this semester

- Aug 21, '12 by lspeigel422Pharmacology was definitely harder. A&p is ok because it actually makes sense. The body is very logical. But pharmacology is just a bunch of long drug names, genetic and name brand, that you will never remember. There are only a few drugs that will actually stick out in your mind until you deal with them on a daily basis.

- Aug 24, '12 by KikikinsPharmacology because it is what I know the least of. I've been tearing through the Micromedex though!
- Aug 24, '12 by shudvaPharmacology, hands down. I did very well in both, but Pharmacology was much harder. It started us on the critical thinking path and my A & P was more memorization.
- Aug 25, '12 by dturninPharm was by far hands down the hardest. I really liked A&P 1, 2 it was good and my instructor made it fun .
- Aug 25, '12 by IiamlillyPharmacology was insane! At first the book even felt like it was in a different language! But it's doable! I managed to pass with an A
good luck!
- Aug 26, '12 by DivaLaJuicyI haven't had Pharmocology yet BUT, I love A&P and I am a biology major. I am guessing that Pharm would be more difficult than A&P because you have to think critically, A&P is memorization.
