Which of the sciences did you find hardest?

Published

Hi everyone! Just wondering which of the sciences you found to be the hardest/most tedious. I'm currently extremely intimidated by organic chemistry, although I hear its not as bad as the "med school dream crusher" organic chem.

Which science was the hardest for you? Micro, organic chem, a&p?

Thanks!

General chemistry all the way. I loved A&P, microbiology, general biology, and o-chem. O-chem was my 2nd most favorite class overall (Microbio is my all-time #1). General chemistry sucked sooooooooooooo bad and was mega hard for me since it involved a bit more math, but involving chem and word problems (which I am terrible at). And, we always had to do that dumb Mastering chemistry online thing that scores crappy and I lost a lot of points in the class because of that. I've heard that general chem vs o-chem is a love-hate relationship. Love one, but hate the other, exactly how it was for me.

Chemistry, because I hate that subject. I find biology SO much more interesting.

I haven't done ap or micro yet - but I am fascinated with the human body.

General chemistry I'm thinking is my hardest(ill be able to say more after next semester) because there's a lot of math. Even though I did we'll in the math. The hard part for me came with the lack of interest.

Microbiology.

I loved Chemistry though.

A&P II. Somewhat because of the physiology processes, but also due to my professor not knowing the material himself.

Definately Biochemistry/ Organic Chemistry. I did make it through with an A, but let me tell you it was very confusing and very frustrating along the way. At least A & P is somewhat relatable.

So far microbiology was the hardest for me. Maybe because I took it this summer in 8 weeks and although my teacher was nice, she nit picked EVERYTHING. She wouldn't even give you credit for short answer if you were kind of on the right track with the right answer. Micro was a whole new ball game for me compared to A&P. I thought the labs were going to be similar to A&P but they weren't. Although, growing bacteria and running different tests were fun but that was pretty much the only fun thing about it. I struggled hard to get a B in that class which was good for me because at the beginning I had a D. But I'm pretty sure once I take take chemistry I'll be saying the same thing.

A&P 1 was the hardest for me I loved A&P 2 and Micro. With micro it was a lot more critical thinking where with your A and P's it's more memorazition.

Hands down Chem was the most difficult for me. Loved A&P.

I take bio chem/organic/inorganic chem this fall so I'll let you know! Micro & A&P weren't bad. Just a lot of studying!
