Which university offers 3 Bch courses to law students?

U seemed not get his point right...he didn't say law students offer biochemistry..I guess he was merely comparing

Meanwhile op all the courses u write niggers don bang first class tire... U dnt even know why law is even respected. They Know little about everything, even all the courses mentioned above, they little about all of them. That's why people in other profession are educated while lawyers are Learned...

whats this one saying? What branch of biochemistrty do u think med students take?... Or u think they can learn the core branches in biochemistry, and yet graduate in 6years? Stop the self deciet.


I am sure harpers,lehninger and others are still biochemistry textbook aren't they? I remember in my part two days in med skul wen I talked abt some concept in bch,part 3 bch students dared not say anyfin...the point in seeing bch as a hard course isn't in bch itself alone bt in courses u borrowed from other physical sciences like chm,mth and phy...imagine someone in part three bch that has not even done more than one bch course,only in his second sememster part two but havin done like 9 phy chm and mth put together in OAU-Ife...an extra bch student once told me the number of chemistry he offered till graduation was nearly same with bch courses itself...phy chm and mth put together outnumbered his bch courses by far..guess wat he neva had problem wit bch wea he got A-C but physical courses...u may quote me and ask anyone from Ife for clarity sake

6.Architecture: the funny thing about this course is that it sounds cool and friendly,but when you get in,you know that not all that glitters are gold. You'll get familiar with geometric drawings,optics and so on, which atimes is usually a pain to the ass.

Bro,everything you said about mass comm is just like ball game to me,i wish engineering was like that,i studied civil engineering at Unilorin and all my friends were sent back home in 100L(some from 1st semester) when they couldn't meet up with the criteria or 2.5 GP,I had a friend who had 3.5 GP,and he was sent home because he failed Physics,thats part one,civil engineering in 100L is still the easiest upon the fact that more than 2/3 of the class was sent home or to other courses in 100L,2,3,4,500 have their own stories too,i can't start mentioning different courses or topics we did because they were too much,5 years of fear ain't no joke bro,we weren't just laid back and do what we liked like other folks


Lol, you make me laugh. So you studied engineering and you think every other course is moi-moi and ball game abi? Like I said earlier, just get a jamb form and enroll for mass comm. and let me see how you will "lay back and do what you like" and steam roll yourself to a first class or a 2.1 degree.

As I said before you either make the cut or not.

As to your question depends on who's doing the studying.

E.g Maybe Mech engine is hard for u and u feel education is easy. I put it to you that the same Mech engine is easy to some and that education has frustrated others

. Its all relative.
As you read on you will notice that most people claim their course if study is the most difficult.

@ dotg . I am not really young grin grin but my statement was based in purely academic issues not novels. When the drs say their course is the longest and hardest I don't agree.

Its relative. Its determined by the individuals and the institution. Some courses in some Schools could be a direct walk-over while same course in another institution would be a rocket science. Some Departmental Lecturers in some institutions are just devil-incarnate.

But, generally speaking, if PHYSICS (with its affiliated courses) isn't part of your list then you need to consult your dictionary for the definition of "hard". Damn! That course is so "broadly abstract" and its the bedrock of many other courses a la professions. I hail those who get power to study am.
Physics was the easiest course I ever took in school. I studied Biochemistry in school (OAU). Biochemistry Na die though I show am say me self Na iron.

Re: Hardest Courses To Study In Nigeria by deesquarediddy(m): 3:58pm On Oct 31, 2014
Be it Nigeria or anywhere in the world, Engineering is the most difficult course to study. Medicine and Surgery only require longer years when you add internship and all sort (Requires lots of dedication too, but you only read, understand and pour back during exams). It’s nowhere near engineering when it comes to difficulty in learning. Engineering combines knowledge from physics, chemistry and mathematics e.t.c not to mention the unreal problems you have to solve that require you to think, think again and again.

Students dropped out of Engineering because of the difficulty, so the drop out issue is not peculiar to medicine alone I can speak for Mechanical, Computer and Electrical Engineering...Infact, almost all engineering course has hours of Lab work/practical to go with it. Scheduling is always a nightmare. With engineering, you don't memorize answers for tests… how nice would that have been? You are given unreal problems to solve, with limited time to do so. Having to take 4 levels of Calculus…

The correct list, from the hardest
1. Engineering: Mechanical, Civil, Electrical/Electronics, Chemical, Petroleum e.t.c
Congratulations, engineers, now you finally have some proof for what you’ve been telling everyone all along: yours is the hardest major. From chemical to civil to electrical to mechanical, the courses you take in chemistry, physics, calculus, statistics, geology, biology, and other tough prereqs give you the lowest rate of As and the highest rate of Cs for any major. Because of this, the path has a notoriously high dropout rate some have pegged as high as 60% per year.

2. Life Sciences: It’s a rare student who doesn’t find at least one or two concepts that trip him up in cell biology class. The life sciences include anatomy, biochemistry, neuroscience, biology, genetics, zoology, and more tricky subjects, landing this field just behind engineering on the low GPA spectrum. Many graduates of a life sciences path go on to careers in the medical, dental, or veterinary fields, which famously require as many as seven or eight more years of difficult schooling, internship, and residency after a bachelor’s degree is earned.

3. Physical sciences: Physics, chemistry, and geology all fold into this major, making it one of the hardest paths to take on in college. With the lowest percentage of students able to work full-time (more than 30 hours a week) and the fourth-lowest rate of students with GPAs over 3.5, majoring in this field proves to be a challenging undertaking. And the uphill battle doesn’t end after graduation. A glut of graduates, a poor economy, and a move toward cleaner energy has created a troubling outlook for chemistry majors.

4. Business & management: You may think what your boss does is not difficult at all, and you may be right; a degree in management is probably not what makes this category a difficult one. It more likely lands here thanks to the challenges of getting a degree in finance or accounting. Either way, the data shows well below half of business and management students are able to pull off a 3.5 or better, and they average the second-longest amount of time in which students complete their degrees.

5. Social/behavioral sciences: This category seems to be a popular choice for students seeking an easy A, but they could do so more easily by picking something else. The social and behavioral sciences encapsulate what are sometimes known as the “soft sciences”: psychology, economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science. Although they are much more closely related by GPA to some of the easy major entries than they are to engineering, the social and behavioral sciences house the fourth-lowest number of fulltime workers and are tied for shortest median degree completion time.


For those shouting law, just accept it simply doesn’t rate as one of the hardest…You can even study law from home, Yeah! It’s that easy.

DailyNews:
my brother, even in India, the toughest course anyone can think of is engineering- mechanical, nano, robotics, etc. What makes engineering tough is the fact that they combine classroom work with workshop practicals...so if u can read and can't do practical/physical work, then u won't excel in mechanical engineering.

Or why do u think few ladies or will I say females study mechanical engineering Everywhere in the world, every university in the world, mechanical engineering department always have the least number of female students, and social life in any mechanical engineering department is zero! Most mech engine students don't have girlfriends; many don't drink or club cos its a hard place to be, unlike medical students who have time to socialise with women and even club.

I pity mechanical engineering students shaa
yea, I agree with you. I'm also an engineering student

I saw this and a kinda agree with it.

No course studied in the higher institution seems
easy, but some are brutal and can snuff life outta
you.
However, don't get afraid of them. They're
actually interesting. So grab a packet of popcorn as I take you through them.

1. Engineering: the name of this course speaks for itself already. The dudes that study this course eh.....*winks*. It undeniably houses all heavy weight courses in engine faculty like chemical engineering, mechanical, production, petroleum...etc..any guy you see rushing to lecture hall with a punching calculator, they're engine boys o.

2.Medicine: What makes this course challenging, is because you'll be forced to read(jack) like your life depends on the degree of knowledge you obtain from their heavy an bulky textbooks. Some of them actually do go for thanksgiving, when they pass their MBBS exam, that contains Anatomy,physiology and biochem.

3.Biochemistry: people usually think that it's a combination of biology and chemistry. If you're one of such, abeg, it's a wrong impression. You will actually get familiar with Bio molecules and giant Organic structures, that will choke you up. This course requires much logic.
What makes it challenging,is that you'll have to
learn a lot within a short duration. Metabolic
pathways might seem frustrating atimes...*winks*. Another thing about this course is that their lecturers are always sadists, due to long years of studying brutal carbohydrate and enzyme structures.

4.Chemistry: I call this course the power,because these dudes can mix chemical concoctions of Ammonia and HCL and blow everywhere...chem guys, I dey joke o....Its actually one of the most difficult in physical science, because you'll make friends with differential equation in physical chemistry,which will leave you wondering if you're studying maths or chemical reactions.

5.Pharmacy: Its already obvious.don't know where to begin with this course.It overlaps critical aspect of chemistry. You hear stuffs like pharmacokinetics, drug metabolisms etc.

6.Architecture: the funny thing about this course is that it sounds cool and friendly,but when you get in,you know that not all that glitters are gold. You'll get familiar with geometric drawings,optics and so on, which atimes is usually a pain to the ass.

That is not true brother...if u see wea a medic clerks a patient and analyses the signs he sees and symptoms the patient presents, u will understand no one does analysis better than they do...for example,
imagine a doctor going ahead to work on a patient's heart that complains on havin pain on his shoulder or swollen foot,,,wat would u say abt dis?
The fact is we are all involved in some difficult analysis at some point of our career. Engineering students have more to deal with than MBBS students when it comes to analysis, I lost count of the frequency of Engineering Analysis, Engineering and Applied Mathematics courses, you always have to analyse everything and every situation while our brothers always have a reference in their textbooks. Its the same thing they studied in Medicine 10 years ago that is still being recycled for the current crop while its otherwise for Engineers. The difference between Nigeria and USA is Engineering, can a nation be hyped for its medics.

What do you make of the construction of Third mainland bridge or buruj khalifa; the tallest building in the world. The thing is, doctors have only a life at stake most of the time while Engineers have a lot at stake, most of the time, they have the environment to consider.

to the topic. as much as the difficulty of any course lies on the individual ability and cognitive disposition with respect to science or art oriented courses i would rather underpine my arguement the most challaging. I still believe that the engineering field is more challanging because not only does it deal with advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry etc (ie maths and physical sciences) but its application to solve real problem. most of the concept are abstract and for to excel in engineering you have to be very good not only in mathematics but also in theory. medicine is also very challanging because you have to digest so many theories at a time.
