How hard are the Math/Science/Engineering classes at UCSC?

<p>Specifically the Calculus series (A,B,C,D), Physics for Scientists and Engineers (A,B,C), and Circuits/Programming classes... are the classes cutthroat/almost impossible to get an A in like other UCs? Or are the curves high enough that people will be able to get an A without too much pain? (Obviously though, I'll be working my butt off haha). thanks!</p>

<p>They are challenging, but if your not lazy its all manageable</p>

<p>Math is easy, physics will destroy you if you’re not on top of it. This isn’t high school anymore, so you’ll be expected to put a lot of time and effort into the course work in order to succeed.</p>
