Was expecting to fail my Bio class but it turn out i had a B, so i must have done really well on the final. Manage to get 3 A's in my other classes so i'm feeling really good right now.

How do you fail a BIO class that isn't genetics or at least upper division? I've heard a few freshmen saying how "Intro to Bio" class was difficult and that it was a weed-out class. How hard can it be to memorize some processes and animal parts?
I got an A back when I took, just for reference. Different curriculum then, but still, how can it be that much harder?
For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
Not my thing i suppose, since i usually find it hard to memorize things that i find to be uninteresting. It doesn't help that there's only 2 tests and then the final. Each test was 100 random questions that cover 5 chapters and the final is 200 questions over the entire course.
Well in high school, my peers were saying biology was arguably the hardest subject there is, mainly because no one got an A in that course. I didn't take biology so I couldn't verify :POriginally Posted by Animeniax
But in university, pharmacology -> the closest thing to biology in the latter parts of my degree, is pretty damn hard for me.
But I guess, like Dark Dragon says, different things are for different people. I found clinical evaluation of evidence, statistics, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics easy while others were the complete opposite.

Well yes pharmacology can be difficult because it concerns chemistry as well as biology. Basic biology, especially in the intro courses, is just memorization, so it's not very different from intro history or government courses. I understand memorization of boring\seemingly meaningless facts is difficult for some people, but if you struggle with intro to biology, you're probably in the wrong program, since the amount of material only gets more numerous.
