Hi Guys!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me about Lower Division science classes at UCI?
For example, are the Physics, Chem, and Bio classes extremely difficult? How much work and time do you put into the classes? Do many people get As? Etc.
How hard they are will depend on your abilities, the nature of the subject, the amount of effort you put in, how well your classmates do, and the professor, so I’m afraid I can’t really give any more specific answers than that. Personally, my effort level has ranged from very little (learning everything the day before the midterm/final) to a lot (double digit hours per week) as a result of the previously mentioned criteria. Many of these classes are curved so that only the top 20% or so get an A or A- so watch out for that.
You can check out some of the classes at the following URL to see how they’re like:
