What are the five hardest classes you can take in college? Determining the five most difficult classes is very subjective. If you’ve always been good at math, for example, college algebra might not be as difficult for you. On the other hand, if you want classes like English and literature, general math, let alone college algebra, they can be difficult.
Organic Chemistry – California Institute of Technology
Of course, this list would not be complete without a nod to the famous organic chemistry. “Synthesis, Structures, and Reaction Mechanisms of Organic Compounds” – This one-sentence description may seem simple enough, but the word “orgo” strikes fear into the hearts of students across the country. “Organic chemistry is known to be difficult depending on how much information is remembered and the nature of the subject,” says Emily, a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Many students find organic chemistry challenging because it is very different from previous chemistry lessons: there is little math, it is very visual and requires a lot of study. In CalTech’s competitive chemistry program, consistently ranked among the best in the country, you’ll find one of the toughest org classes in the country.
Physics
Physics is an extremely difficult career. It’s one thing to find general ideas in physics interesting (after all, who wouldn’t be interested in a topic that explores the true nature of the universe, from the mysteries of black holes to the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum?). But it is quite another to immerse yourself in mathematical principles, complex formulas and calculations in all areas of physics and apply them enough to excel in exams.
There are no shortcuts to understanding physics, that’s what makes it so difficult. The truth about STEM subjects like math and science is that while there is enough information and enough formulas to remember, it is not enough to know the correct answer to something. You need to understand why and how this is the correct answer.
While you can only memorize equations and formulas in A Level Physics, you won’t fly at grade level.
Your specialty
Of course, you don’t have full control over your schedule. You must meet certain requirements for your specialization. Make sure you are aware of these courses and plan to spread them out over your four years. Check out our article on the easiest and hardest races for more information on what kind of courses you can expect.
Similarly, many schools have general education requirements that all students must meet. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to choose between these requirements, but that’s not always the case. Also, be sure to chart them, because you don’t want to have to take several at once just to graduate on time.
Overcoming Challenges
Choosing college courses can be one of the most difficult decisions you’ll make in your college career. You want to make sure to challenge yourself, but you also don’t want to feel completely overwhelmed. In this article, we take a look at the toughest college courses, based on student feedback.
One of the best ways to overcome the challenges of choosing college courses is to talk to your academic advisor. They can help you understand his strengths and weaknesses and recommend courses that will help him succeed. Also, talking to upper class students or students who have already taken the course will give you a better idea of what to expect.
