Toughest courses in a community college?

Hey y'all, I'm considering community college as a potential cost-effective way to get my GenEds done. Anyone out there who's been in this route, what are the hardest classes I might run into?

The rigor of courses tends to vary greatly amongst different community colleges and also depends heavily on the instructors teaching the classes. However, certain courses are frequently reported to be challenging across various community colleges. These offerings typically include:

1. General Chemistry: This class typically covers concepts including atomic structure, molecular structure, acid and base chemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, etc. It often requires strong math skills and consistent studying.

2. Calculus: Whether it's Calculus I, II, or III, you're going to have to put in some hours for this one. It requires a solid understanding of algebra and trigonometry, as well as the ability to think abstractly.

3. Anatomy and Physiology: These courses usually require memorizing large amounts of information about the human body and its systems, and the lab components can often be particularly rigorous.

4. English Composition: While not necessarily content-heavy, many students find the writing load and the high standards for written work to be challenging.

5. Physics: These courses often combine complex theoretical concepts with math-heavy problem-solving.

Keep in mind that what is 'hard' can look different for everyone based on their strengths, weaknesses, and interests. For instance, if you’re scientifically or mathematically inclined, some of the humanities, such as Philosophy or Literature, could prove challenging, and vice versa.

It’s always a good strategy to balance out courses in a semester such that you’re not taking too many 'hard' classes at the same time. Prioritize understanding the material rather than focusing solely on getting good grades, attend office hours if you're struggling, and form study groups with your classmates.
