Hard University Course
This greatly amuses me.
I talked with someone who studies Biotechnology in BIU. This is a hard degree with many courses that have difficult material, or that require to study a large amount of material.
And this person had a complaint about one particular course they have to take. Students routinely get very low grades on this course, and it is considered very hard. Many students choose to delay taking the course until their later years, so they will have more time to dedicate to studying for it, or simply since they want to delay the unpleasant for as long as possible.
Mind you, in this degree they have courses which are practically infamous for being hard, such as organic chemistry, cellular structure, and various other courses of this kind. But this really worrying course isn’t one of them.
It’s a course in microeconomics. Yep, microeconomics.
As someone who finished a university bachelor degree in economics, I find this hilarious. I also have an interest in the exact sciences, though mostly as a hobby, so I know, rather than assume, that many other things that they study there are much more complicated. I’m familiar with both kind of material.
But that’s what frightens the biotech students… That’s what they get the really low grades on… Economics…
Go figure. Maybe it’s because they’re all exact-sciences types, and economics is anything but.
