<p>You tell me.</p>

2

<p>Biologee!!</p>

3

<p>The highest absolute amount of memorization or the highest ratio of memorization to thinking?</p>

4

<p>^LOL that’s funny…the way she said it</p>

5

<p>“The highest absolute amount of memorization or the highest ratio of memorization to thinking?”</p>

<p>You sound like you know what you’re talking about, so how about you tell me both?</p>

6

<p>Sorry to disappoint you - I was just curious :)</p>

7

<p>highest memorization to thinking ratio: some science. like taxodermy.
highest memorization, period: organic chemistry!!</p>

<p>lol
jk
just made 'em up.</p>

8

<p>i’d say some of the histories are the most memorization</p>

9

<p>Organic chemistry is definitely not memorization.</p>

<p>I agree with sockpuppet. I would say history or something like that is the most memorization; facts, dates, events.</p>

<p>Biology, while there’s a ton of information, has a lot of trends and application and is actually much more than just plain memorization.</p>

10

<p>What about Accounting</p>

11

<p>What about it?</p>

12

<p>Biology and chemistry require memorization and understanding…it makes it much easier to memorize the material if you understand it…for sheer memorization requiring little understanding I would go with history</p>

13

<p>History and Biology require a ton of memorization.</p>

14

<p>I’m not sure what history you’d be referring to, kinglin. You need to know some basic facts as a background for history, but the actual work in the field is much more conceptual.</p>

15

<p>Any of the social sciences would fit this, I think. As with any field, you memorize it because you need to know it. Unlike with the sciences, however, a lot of the memorization has no application – think of the dates and names and terms you need to know that you’ll probably never use again.</p>

16

<p>Art History. Eek.</p>

17

<p>How’s anyone supposed to know when they can only choose one? <a href=“or%20two,%20or%20three?”>size=1</a>[/size]</p>

18

<p>i agree with art history… i took so many classes of it and it was memorization session >.<</p>

19

<p>I don’t know what history class you’re taking but history is definately more conceptual than anything. It certainly is not all about memorization although you should memorize things. You identify and analyze patterns and determine the effects and causes of events more than anything else.</p>

<p>I’d think a language would require a fair amount of memorization…thinking too, but you’d have to memorize all the vocab, grammar rules, when to use what case, etc.</p>
