Ranking the HARDEST Classes at UIUC

The hardest classes that I took at UIUC. Getting a good professor is actually a lot more helpful than I originally thought.

I remember Chem 105 (?) from 1960. It was a one semester course that covered two semesters as a substitute for 103 and 104. By taking 105 you didn't have to take 103 and 104. Then there was quantitative analysis which had 1:00 to 5:30 labs twice a week.

I really enjoyed CS241 (now 341) id highly recommend going to lecture as that’s the key to doing well, that and becoming comfortable with C at a systems level.

Ahahaha I had Vazquez last year first semester. Loved that professor for keeping my GPA high… didn’t really learn anything though… 😂

Hi Brian, I'm an incoming CS major this fall. This video was super helpful! Would you recommend trying to take MATH 241 at a community college over summer, or should I just take the class at UIUC to get a strong calculus foundation?

I was admitted by the UIUC this year with the Maths major and I have studied in China as a non-international student until now, do you think I can handle the maths major?

CHEM 202/203 was harder than 102/103 only because the amount of time and work that was required was more substantial than 102/103.

Is it true that if you do a CS Minor at UIUc with another undergraduate degree you’re guaranteed admission the Masters CS at UIUC?

hi! i just want public opinion, if i get a decent BC score, should i go to calc 3 or stick with calc 2 as a freshman(because of my AB credit)?

Hi Brian! I’m prestudying for PHYS 211. What tips, notes, practice problems, sample exams, etc. do you have? I’d love to have that. Thanks! Also, what did you think of PHYS 212? Thanks again!

I'm thinking of taking calc 3 at a community college over the summer if its available. Considering how hard it is here would that be a good idea?

[yuanyao]

CS 241 is the hardest for me. Then CS 374, Math 412(Graph Theory), CS 450 is another hard class.

So you didn't take three semesters of calculus-based physics?

From your grades, don't go into the field of artificial intelligence or Computer graphics....
