<p>comparatively speaking, how much harder is Cal then another university like UCSD? feel free to use examples for a bio major. is there just more work, tests harder, more material covered, etc?</p>
<p>Cal teaches you secrect equations no other universities know.</p>
<p>I would think that there will be a bigger percentage of very good students at Cal.</p>
<p>I think it would depend more on the professor rather than the school in general. </p>
<p>There may be times when Cal seems (or actually is) easier than UCSD, but the typical student would learn more from the Cal professor rather than the UCSD one.</p>
<p>Perfect example, I had a bio professor who was very much into research and purposely made the tests hard so that he didn’t need to do anymore work than grade 4 tests for 100% of your grade. The next year I took microbiology (which is supposed to be harder) but had a fantastic professor who had actually studied pedagogy (the art of teaching). The class was fun, engaging, and students walked out knowing a hell of a lot more than in the previous course.</p>
