<p>I believe that most majors can be made pretty difficult if you don't plan it right. Personally, I think it is Course 6, because you have a much larger population in the major which you have to fight against to beat that curve!</p>

<p>Oh, and first semester freshman year is definitely not a good approximation of how hard a particular major is going to be. Maybe second semester will be more realistic if you pass out of a lot of introductory classes, for example, getting sophomore standing. Rather, you will start to get a good picture sophomore year. Then you begin to realize why they gave you a credit limit during your freshman year. :P</p>

<p>lol. 2007, I'm taking 6.001 this spring, how good of an approximation do you think that is to the general difficulty of course 6? (specifically 6-1).</p>

<p>Actually, that class is a pretty good taste of a course 6 class. The only difference being that later on, you will take multiple course 6 classes at the same time. ;)</p>
