<p>How difficult are science courses at pomona? How much time pre-med students spend on homework? Grade inflation or grade deflation?</p>
<p>Though it varies by teacher, none of the science courses are 'easy' they are manageable. Its hard to guage how much time premed students spend on homework, but being pre-med here doesn't keep you from having a life. Though some tests in science may be curved to help you, few classes have a curve for their final grade, so you won't have strong students keeping you from getting the grade you want. On the other side, theoretically if you are in a class with weak students, you can't use the curve to stay on top, but there also aren't really any weak students here. I'd say probably inflation.</p>
