...relating to your major?
Some you like and some you do not like. If you want to complete a degree in any chosen major field, you must tolerate both and make the honest effort to learn.Eclair_de_XII said:...relating to your major?

The question matters, because a student cannot and should not expect to like every course needed for an undergraduate degree program.phinds said:Just out of curiosity, what does it matter? I mean, what good does it do you to know whether I, or anyone else, enjoyed my major classes or not?
No. In my day we had revolving blackboards that went up to the ceiling in our two storey lecture theatre. One lecturer wrote maths equations so fast they disappeared over the top faster than I could write them down let alone keep up with his reasoning. Amazingly one or two students out of the 100 or so could even spot when he had made a mistake!Eclair_de_XII said:...relating to your major?
Fair enough, but any human who expects to like EVERYTHING about any aspect of life is likely to be in for a hard life of disappointment and students are no exception.symbolipoint said:The question matters, because a student cannot and should not expect to like every course needed for an undergraduate degree program.
As a scientist, I can say that it is highly unlikely for anyone to enjoy every single class they take in college. However, I did find many of my classes to be interesting and engaging.
My favorite class in college was definitely my biology course. I have always been fascinated by the natural world and learning about the complexities of life was incredibly exciting for me.
Yes, there were definitely some classes that I found to be more challenging than others. In particular, my advanced statistics course was quite difficult for me, but I was able to overcome the challenges with determination and hard work.
Absolutely. I had several professors who were not only knowledgeable and passionate about their subject, but also took the time to mentor and guide me. They played a huge role in shaping my academic and professional pursuits.
My college classes provided me with a strong foundation in scientific principles and critical thinking skills. They also exposed me to various research methods and techniques, which have been invaluable in my career as a scientist. Additionally, the teamwork and communication skills I learned in group projects and presentations have been essential in collaborating with my colleagues in the scientific community.
