What's your major and how is the workload?

<p>Title question</p>

<p>Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering.</p>

<p>The workload is a bit on the heavy side considering I hate anything remotely math-related.
Maybe 3-5 hours of studying a night.</p>

<p>Political science.
Thus far, it's been a breeze.</p>

<p>^^You hate math and you chose to major in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering??</p>

<p>Was this out of parental pressure?</p>

<p>International Relations, and thus far, it's been a piece of cake.</p>

<p>Of course, I just finished my first semester, so all my classes were pieces of cake.</p>

<p>anthropology, and it's not super easy but not super hard either because I really like it. Alot of reading, and usually 2 big projects/papers every semester or 1 big project/paper and 3 or 4 smaller ones.</p>

<p>Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. Just finished my first semester and so far, so good. Workload very manageable and not overly difficult. I expect it will get rougher though in upper level classes.</p>

<p>English. Difficult workload because of the amount of reading. In each class, I read a book plus a critical essay (or two or three) a week, on average. I usually take two English classes a semester, plus other humanities classes that require a lot of reading as well. English can be whatever you want it to be. I push myself to read everything that I can and to explore interesting arguments in my essays and other assignments rather than BSing everything just to get it done, which is what some of my peers do.</p>

<p>You hate anything remotely math-related and you're majoring in CS and BME? I don't quite understand....</p>

<p>I like computers. I like robotics. I don't like math, but I'll get over it.</p>

<p>Math. Most of the homework is problem sets, and how long it takes to finish those depends a lot on one's "mathematical talent". We typically get one problem set with 3 to 6 problems per class per week, and it takes people anywhere from 1 to 10 hours to finish one problem set.</p>

<p>International relations. I'm in a residential college where the freshman workload is known to be a lot more "challenging" than the standard social sciences major, with rather large amounts of reading and essay writing...but for me I think the courseload has been at least manageable</p>

<p>media and cultural studies. freshman year was easy, but first semester sophomore year kicked my ass, probably because i had a job on top of an overloaded class schedule. a ton of reading, most of it in-depth and critical, about a variety of topics. time-consuming but enjoyable; i'm totally into most of it. finals generally means a 10-20 page paper in each class, depending on the course level, plus a smaller paper (8-10 pages) at midterm and weekly 2-3 page responses.</p>

<p>Biochemistry, so far it's been OK, but I haven't really started the courses for the major yet...just like Lib. Ed requirements and gen chem (which is actually kinda hard)</p>

<p>Finance, my major classes are easy, probably because I find them interesting, found some basics were not necessarily hard, but just seemed like they were harder than they should be (freshman english, history, government, etc.).</p>

<p>Animal Sci with a pre-vet concentration.</p>

<p>The workload hasn't been too bad this year, but a lot of people still failed out of the program. Next year it's three lectures with labs (domestic animal a&p, org chem, and clinical), and two other electives, both semesters. I have a feeling a lot more people are going to be dropping out/transferring/switching majors after first semester next year.</p>

<p>The Vet Tech and Vet Sci majors got hit the worst this year, though. They take A&P before pre-vet students do, and a good 3/4 of those in A&P completely failed.</p>

<p>I don't know if my school's harder than other schools in terms of pre-vet/general animal sci, but they're definitely taking it upon themselves to do some serious weeding out this year.</p>

<p>Classical Languages. </p>

<p>English-based classes, like Greek history, Greek religion, Ancient philosophy, etc, are ridiculously easy. They aren't hard classes, but there is a lot of reading and essay writing. </p>

<p>My advanced Greek and Latin classes are much harder. Usually 3 hours of homework for each class, at least, if you don't want to appear foolish when you're called on in class to translate. (Two or so hours that night reading and translating, then an hour in the morning before the class reviewing the material. ) Then you have to pretty much re-read everything before tests. The beginning and intermediate classes, however, were fairly easy.</p>

<p>Bio Major, only took 15 credits. Overall it wasn't too bad but i got my ass kicked by gen chem 1 lab. need to do a lot better in chem next semester.</p>

<p>I am double majoring in international relations and philosophy with a minor in art history. So far the semester has been pretty easy, I have a pretty difficult spring semester schedule though. I would say my majors are fairly easy but require a lot of classes.</p>
