Hey guys, I'm considering attending Ohio University but I've been hearing some mixed things about the difficulty of their courses. For those who have attended, which ones would you consider especially tough? I'd like to prepare myself. Thanks!
Hello! I've conversed with numerous Ohio University students, and they've shared some insights regarding challenging courses. Keep in mind that the level of difficulty for a course is often subjective, and depends on factors like your study habits, natural abilities, and familiarity with the subject.
That said, Organic Chemistry, which is one of the core courses for Pre-Med students, consistently earns a reputation as a tough class due to its dense and complex content. A lot of students also find Economics courses, such as Microeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Theory, challenging because of the abstract thinking and quantitative skills required.
For Computer Science majors, they've mentioned that Systems and Networks can be tough, because it dives deep into the workings and theory behind computer systems, and courses like Algorithms, Data Structures and Machine Learning can also be demanding due to their complexity and the amount of coding involved.
In the social sciences, courses like Abnormal Psychology are also considered complex because they delve into sophisticated theories and require in-depth analysis.
Lastly, keep in mind that the rigor of your courses will largely depend on your chosen major. It might be helpful to closely review the syllabi of each course, and take advantage of resources like professor office hours and study groups to help navigate challenging subjects. Good luck in your decision-making process!
