UCLA offers many courses from easy to hard. Students often struggle to pick their classes when it comes to course selection. To make your life easier, here is a list of the hardest classes offered at UCLA.
1. ECON 103: Introduction to Econometrics
This is a course that gives undergraduate students a basic introduction to econometrics theory and applications. Students are expected to learn and master the basic quantitative tools and software (e.g. STATA) for future empirical research in economics.
2. CHEM 153A: Biochemistry
This course covers structure of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids; enzyme catalysis and principles of metabolism, including glycolysis and the citric acid cycle; and oxidative phosphorylation.
3. MCD BIO C174B: Advanced Topics in Cell and Molecular Biology
Recent developments in fields of molecular, cell, and developmental biology. Animal cell nucleus regulation of cell metabolism. Structure/function relationships, nuclear-cytoplasmic exchange, DNA replication and gene expression.
4. ECON 171: Industrial Organization
Designed to give a foundation in topics within the field of industrial organization relating to regulation of monopoly power within the economy and different way that that manifests across firm conduct and industrial settings. Particular attention to topics in antitrust policy, with some exploration of intersection between economics and law.
5. CHEM 20A: Chemical Structure
Survey of chemical processes, quantum chemistry, atomic and molecular structure and bonding, molecular spectroscopy.
6. COM SCI 111: Operating Systems Principles
Introduction to operating systems design and evaluation. Computer software systems performance, robustness, and functionality. Kernel structure, bootstrapping, input/output (I/O) devices and interrupts.
7. PHYSICS 6C: Physics for Life Sciences Majors
Geometrical and physical optics, fluid statics and dynamics, thermodynamics. Selected topics from foundations of quantum mechanics; atomic, nuclear and particle physics; relativity; medical detectors; biological applications.
8. NEUROSC 102: Introduction to Functional Anatomy of Central Nervous System
Overview of human nervous system; relation of behavior to higher cognitive function. Development of primate and human brain during past few million years; evolutionary aspects of neuroanatomical structures and effects of behavior and cultural attitudes of modern man.
9. COM SCI 35L: Software Construction Laboratory
Fundamentals of commonly-used software tools and environments, particularly open-source tools likely to be used in upper-division computer science courses.
10. PHYSICS 1C: Physics for Scientists and Engineers
The following topics will be covered: Ampere law, Faraday’s law, inductance, and LRC circuits. Maxwell’s equations in integral and differential form. Electromagnetic waves. Light, geometrical, and physical optics. Special relativity.
Not true, Most of these classes are statistically and proven to be the easiest one can take.
