Which was the hardest pre-req class?

Published

I am working on my future class schedule, and was wondering, what has been the most difficult pre-req that you've taken/or are currently taking? What makes/made it particularly difficult?

My pre-reqs consist of : college writting1 , fund. of speech, anatomy & lab, Physiology & lab, microbiology, psychology, growth & development, sociology & data processing concepts

I'm curious, what are yours?

Thanks in advance!:D

Hello...My pre-reqs are Eng 101, Eng 102, Fund of Speech, Microbiology, Psychology 1, Psychology 2, A&P 1, A&P 2....i have 4 down and 4 to go...so far i am pretty comfortable with my classes, but when i get to the A&P's i think those will be the toughest. Good luck!!

A&P II so far. I've got the instructor from hades though...the subject matter isn't too difficult, it's figuring out his exams that is the hard part!

But, I'm betting that biochemistry & organic chemistry will be the toughest for me. Some folks at my school complain about pharmacology, but that's because of the instructor.

I would say A&P2, but maybe thats because I have a bad teacher this semester. If I could give one piece of advice, don't leave the Anatomy part for your last semester before the program. It's a terrible feeling.

I personally really enjoyed A&P and micro.. guess I'm a nerd. :)

I don't know that you could call them the toughest, but my two most despised classes so far have been Literature (I LOVE to read, but I hate being made to read and then analyze something, blech!) and Chemistry (dropped it this semester because it didn't fit well with my work/home schedule, as well as the fact that I was too burned out on classes to enjoy it)

Organic and bio Chemistry and INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA!! I HATED those two classes!! The math class was a b.... I sent most of the semester in the lab being tutored and barely made a C in the class!!

Then get into the actual NR program and find out we DON'T use Intermediate algebra for ANYTHING!!! GRRRRRRRR!

However, If I can get through thse classes so can you!

Anatomy and chemistry get my votes.

Microbiology for sure! I am currently in it now and it has stressed me out to the max! I would rfecommend taking it alone with no other classes. I can use as much help in it as I can get! Good luck!

A&P II, no doubt. I did have a pretty intense prof. though. He really went into depth when he didn't have to. But I am kind of glad I had him because I think I learned a lot. I took A&P in the summer though. If you don't have to take that class in the summer, don't!!!! It is a headache.

So far, it's been Anatomy but I think it's mainly how the teacher teaches, I've never seen someone so unorganized. I took A&P this summer and it was so simple compared to this Anatomy class.
