<p>What are Penn State classes like in terms of difficulty, work, examinations, grading-particularly in the general science courses-bio, chem, calc</p>
<p>i took bi sc 004- the human body and i felt it was difficult. it just depends on the teacher. most chem courses are challenging and most people don’t take them as an gen ed, but as a requirement for their major. the most easiest general science class is ASTRO 001 with Mercedes Richards. If you have any questions just ask.</p>
<p>How do PSU’s exams compare to AP Exams, more specifically, for Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus? Are they more difficult or about the same?</p>
<p>One thing that was pointed out at FTCAP was that you spend a year of HS completing an AP course that fulfills the requirement for a semester long course in college.</p>
<p>my friends who took MATH141 and MATH 220 said that some of the material was difficult, but they performed very well on the exams. They usually give weekly quizzes and 2 or 3 exams a semester, plus the final. For chem, that depends on your teacher, but the exams from the people i know they have never recieved a grade no higher than a B+.</p>
