Which class is more difficult?

I know everyone learns differently, I'm just curious as to what the majority thinks is harder.

Anatomy & Physiology 1

--or--

Microbiology

Thanks in advance!

Well, I don't know if I would be one to answer this since I haven't taken Microbiology yet but I have taken AP1 and made an A in it without much effort. I had a really good professor and I think that makes all the difference in the world! Just my 2 cents worth! Hope this helps!

A&P seemed a bit more hard to me because there seemed to be a bit more information.

Good luck.

I personally thought A&P was harder.

I found Micro to be more of a review of cell bio and patho and so I didn't need to put in much time. A&P, while alot more doable than I initially thought they'd be, still required alot of memorization. Now if you'd asked about Chemistry. . .

My anatomy and physiology were not the same class... but I would say both classes were harder than micro. Either way get your note cards out and make flash cards because it is a TON of memorizing. The books that I really liked were the Made Incredibly Easy books... so check those out, they really put things in simple terms!

A&P was hard but in my opinion Micro was the hardest class you will ever take. Now, having said that it also depends on your teacher....

I think A&P was harder - but it could be because a lot of micro (it seemed anyway) was a repeat of A&P or chem. I mean, there was a lot of new information to learn in micro, but it I'd say about 25% of it was repeat. I bet if I'd taken Micro before A&P then it would have been fairly even...

It all depends on the teacher and your learning style...

I sailed through Micro. A&P 1 on the other hand was horrible. I never worked my a** of so hard for a C in my life. I'm good at learning and critical thinking, but I'm terrible at just straight memorization. It was one of the happiest days of my life as a nursing student when we finished the $^&% bones! :chuckle So, if you're good at memorization A&P shouldn't be too bad. I think it also depends on how the class is set up. My A&P was only one (long) night a week. It was as though all the information was dumped on us and there wasn't another class session to follow-up. Just my :twocents: .

I too made it through A&P 1 with a 98% but micro that was another story. ruined my 4.0 I hated that class.

I took A&P I and Micro at the same time and made an A in both. I thought Micro was harder, but very interesting. I loved the lab.

Anatomy and physiology were separate classes. I think anatomy was the hardest because it was the first science class I took when I went back to school at 38 plus the prof was really good but really hard. I loved dissection theatre.

I loved micro - after anatomy and physiology it was easier than I had imagined although not easy. Still lots of work.

I loved both and got great grades but I had to study more for Micro. At least in A&P you have heard of things like kidneys, Kreb Cycles and have an idea where muscles are but in Micro it was learning so many different new names, tests performed on unknowns, bacteria, etc. Nothing beats Micro lab! Fun, just hope you have a good teacher and good lab partner.
