Outside of Architecture, I think chinese literature would crazy difficult. I took a intro to chinese class pass/fail and almost failed it and I even went to class everyday.
My sister graduated with honors in EE at UT and she never studied. I know some people that didn't have to study that hard in med school. Some people just have a knack for things.
this is definately true. but if you look at the general trend, the majority of of people in EE study their butts off. either that or she got in good w/ wagner
This. My wife has a degree in Math and coasted through it no problem. Meanwhile I struggled my way through high school algebra and geometry. I think if she had gone for an English degree, it would have been the complete opposite.
LOL. But the guy did have a point, if you like something and put an honest effort into it you can graduate with pretty much any degree you want. My career path is a great example of it. I really did not like getting my radiography degree, or my BS in nursing...yeah I did well and graduated with great grades, but I didn't like the work and just kept looking toward the 150-200k/year I would get after CRNA school. I quit healthcare altogether and am in mechanical engineering school at UoH. I love it. My grades are about the same as they were in nursing school, but I have to study a lot more, which I don't mind because it's something I actually enjoy. That's the difference...if I hated engineering school I couldn't see myself getting through it.
A real biochem major is about 30% memorization, and that is only for the mechanisms that are still not figured out. Otherwise there is a logical, physical explanation for what is happening. If it were 100% memorization, I probably would've changed majors.
I struggled with math myself and am definitely more of a humanities guy, and my significant other has two degrees in a humanities major. Spoiler I won't say which major it is, in case someone is hunting for clues as to who we are... yes, I know that's probably paranoid!) Somehow, we produced two kids that are outstanding in math. My son, starting his second year at college in a couple of weeks, and already a junior, excels at math and physics. Must be one of those "skipped a generation" things, I guess. My father was a math wiz, as well as a wiz in a lot of other stuff. (sigh) I muddle through, somehow.
Biology (you have to take physics and upper chemistries too.) I love it, but its no joke. I have no life, and at my school, bio has the largest drop out rate. People can't take it and change their majors after the first year. I do have respect for the engineering and architect majors. I have friends that are both these and when we talk about all the things we have to study, its like speaking a second language, since we have no idea whats going on with the other majors.
I have to disagree with that. The physics I took in high school was much easier than the physics now.
im a bio major and dont think it compares, but making the big dentist dollars will make me feel better about not developing ulcers in college.
Physics is really hard especially quantum mechanics stuff. I had to take a little bit of that. Actually I think if you are really good at math then the rest of stuff is a little easier.
I just checked again, and I guess you're right. At the school I went to, General Biology majors had to take calculus-based physics that covers most of the topics covered in high school AP physics.
