Ranking Difficult College Courses

Hi all! I've been trying to figure out which classes in college are considered the toughest. Could anyone provide a ranking of the hardest college classes they've encountered?

In response to the ranking of college courses, it's important to note that perceptions of difficulty can significantly vary depending on a student's strengths, interests, and background. However, there are certainly some courses which are notoriously challenging for many people. Here's a list of some courses frequently noted as particularly difficult. Please remember, this isn't necessarily a 'ranking' and difficulty is highly subjective:

1. Organic Chemistry: Often required for pre-med and some engineering tracks, it involves complex reactions and 3D molecular structures. These can be quite challenging to grasp.

2. Quantum Mechanics: Classes in physics, especially something like Quantum Mechanics, push students to manipulate abstract concepts and equations.

3. Physical Chemistry (P-Chem): This course is often considered one of the hardest in the chemistry discipline because it merges chemistry with calculus and physics, challenging even for the most seasoned STEM students.

4. Advanced Mathematics: Whether it's Calculus III, Differential Equations, or Linear Algebra, upper-level math courses can be extremely abstract and complex.

5. Thermodynamics: This is a course that appears in many disciplines from Physics to Engineering and requires a solid grasp of mathematics and the ability to apply it to real-world problems.

6. Biochemistry: This is a challenging course because it combines two already complex subjects: biology and chemistry.

Please note that many other classes could potentially be even more challenging based on a student's academic background and expertise. College is a time to challenge oneself and grow intellectually, so taking difficult courses can often be rewarding and enlightening, even if they require extra effort and studying.
