Uni Students Only: Most Difficult Class

[Sasuke The Solo God]

Whats the most difficult class your taking this fall and how do you feel about the subject in general?

Mine's Heat Transfer, which is super challenging but I like the practical concepts of it and how the equations make sense physically.

Its just some high level conceptual and equations that command supreme discipline to master. Which is one of my favorite parts of uni, being able to study so hard to where you become a master a the subject..

But I'm far from it. Quite worried about it right now but I'm sure I'll pull through.

Freaking Physics. I like it but damn, I mean they could stop with the theories and shyte.

Physics 1 or 2?

Physics 1 or 2?

1 Plus the stinking labs.

 

[~Ethereal~]

Probably the research project for my final year, it's worth 33% and it's crucial to get the top marks. I am scared and don't know what topic I should choose.

Do graduates count?

My hardest class was Biochem II hands down, hoooly shit the synthesis and energy equations. It was well worth the brain melting, though. I know so much now, and it even ties up the fundamentals of Biology they throw at you without detailed explanations.

1 Plus the stinking labs.

Wait til Physics 2 where you play with electrons :lol

 

[Horus]

Machine and Assembly language and probably Java

I feel your pain, my class members was asked to submit their project ideas for the Final year project and they're all freaking out because the deadline is today.
but in truth it's nothing to worry about, as it doesnt have to be a completely original idea.. You can make modifications to existing systems which I'm sure you can find something interesting enough in your field to do that..
btw what programme are you studying??

I've got a math/physics Bsc and am now about to start my third week of medical school and man, I honestly thought I would never have to study longer than I did during my third year of undergrad for e.g. solid state but in the second week (this week) of medical school, I had to study as much as I usually would near exam-time in my undergrad just to ****ing keep up with the material.

I'm on the 4 year programme (although this would be standard to you Americans) which means that compared to the folk in the 5 year programme we have their first 2 years squeezed into our first year so while they study anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in the first year and pathology, pharmacology and microbiology in their second year - we have to do all of it in the first year.

I've been exposed to all the courses now and by far (medical school) anatomy is the worst sh1t I've ever done in my life - in it you have to memorize minutia of minutia and the material isn't even remotely interesting or, frankly, even relevant to medicine as practiced by the majority of physicians.

And by minutia I mean you have to memorize which of the 31 spinal segment freaking individual nerves (all of which have long-arse latin names) originate from, which obscure little muscle you've never heard of it innervates, which ****ing tendons (all named in Latin) stabilize this or that joint in its vicinity etc etc.

Oh and they expect you to be able to identify those minutia on a dissected cadaver - and as it turns out, veins, arteries and nerves are not coloured and muscles do not have their boundaries outlined on a real body so learning the sh1t on diagrams is only half the work.

Man I've been looking down on these Biology people all this time but this sh1t isn't easy, even if it's not that hard to understand.

C++ hated me, polymorhism is a beeeyatch.

 

[Adam Driver]

I'm not in college but I assumed before opening the thread majority were going to say physics. It is a damn pain.

 

[Xlad]

Probably either Developmental Psychology or Experimental Methods.

I actually thought Physics 2 made more sense to me. I just don't think I was used to the mechanics of 1

I'm in senior design and its a year long design process with a team and theres soo many deliverables. I'm spread way to thin but I'll manage it some hwo.

Pick something you are interested in btw

If postgraduation counts, nothing. I have always found quantitative and logical subjects fun, so it's never a pain even if they demand the hours. Behavioural subjects, I struggle with, but it's not like spending time on those subjects help. You either get people and the way they behave and how to use it/blend in/change it, or you don't (I am assuming that psychology isn't the majors, in which case they have to), spending time on it changes nothing.

Very difficult stuff.

English 152. Writing a 12 page essays will always be my least favorite memory of college. I'm basically pulling shit out of my ass by the 6th page.
