Know The Six Hardest Courses To Study In Nigeria Know The Six Hardest Courses To Study In Nigeria

Medicine:
The fact that it involves human life makes it even more challenging; it takes longer number of years than any other course in Nigeria before they are tagged qualified as it deals with human life, the students are compelled to read heavy-weighted textbooks and they engage in reading almost all the time . Passing MBBS is another ball game and includes courses like Anatomy, Biochemistry , physiology, this poses a lot of worry to medical students ; most of them even go for thanksgiving when they eventually pass . Medicine as a course requires a lot of commitment from the student considering the length of the courses and examinations involved .
Chemistry:
This may sound easy and more fun when viewed from practical sense but in a more academic sense it involves a lot of math and physics making it more challenging to study. It involves nomenclature, reactions , stoichiometry , molarity and thermochemistry and host of others .
Engineering:
As the name implies involves designing . “ Engine students “ as they are fondly called take wide range of courses in engineering faculty including petroleum engineering , civil engineering , electric and electronic engineering and host of others before they even get to the point of handling courses specified for their department, and of course there are lots of professional exams to go through before one is qualified as a professional engineer to practice in Nigeria .
Law:
This requires a lot of skills and hard work. Law students read a lot of written materials and must comprehend , and accurately recall legal provisions and use the relevant law in new situations. They must be able to take a logical approach and apply knowledge to factual situations. It also involves length of time , courses and examinations while in school and after school before one could practice as a professional.
Mathematics and Statistics:
At first when applying for this course , you could think it will be easier to deal with , it will interest you to know that maths is not that easy , it is not just about being good at calculations ; it involves estimations , calculus , geometrics and host of others . It is important that you know that you may deal with calculations all through your stay in the institution .
Architecture:
This is one of the most complex courses in faculty of environmental sciences to study. A lot of time , people look at it as a very easy course involving only the act of drawing, it is important to know that it involves much more than mere drawing and designing . On graduation they are faced with lots of professional exams before they are able to practice as a professional.

Most Challenging Courses to Study in Nigeria
Most Challenging Courses to Study in Nigeria
No course studied in the higher institution
seems easy, but some are brutal and can
snuff life outta you. However, don’t get
afraid of them. They’re actually interesting.
So grab a packet of popcorn as I take you
through them.
1. Engineering: the name of this course
speaks for itself already. The dudes that
study this course eh…..*winks*. It undeniably
houses all heavy weight courses in engine
faculty like chemical engineering, mechanical,
production, petroleum…etc..any guy you see
rushing to lecture hall with a punching
calculator, they’re engine boys o.
2.Medicine: What makes this course
challenging, is because you’ll be forced to
read(jack) like your life depends on the
degree of knowledge you obtain from their
heavy an bulky textbooks. Some of them
actually do go for thanksgiving, when they
pass their MBBS exam, that contains
Anatomy,physiology and biochem.
3.Biochemistry: people usually think that it’s
a combination of biology and chemistry. If
you’re one of such, abeg, it’s a wrong
impression. You will actually get familiar with
Bio molecules and giant Organic structures,
that will choke you up. This course requires
much logic.
What makes it challenging,is that you’ll have
to learn a lot within a short duration.
Metabolic pathways might seem frustrating
atimes…*winks*. Another thing about this
course is that their lecturers are always
sadists, due to long years of studying brutal
carbohydrate and enzyme structures.
4.Chemistry: I call this course the power,
because these dudes can mix chemical
concoctions of Ammonia and HCL and blow
everywhere…chem guys, I dey joke o….Its
actually one of the most difficult in physical
science, because you’ll make friends with
differential equation in physical
chemistry,which will leave you wondering if
you’re studying maths or chemical reactions.
5.Pharmacy: Its already obvious.don’t know
where to begin with this course.It overlaps
critical aspect of chemistry. You hear stuffs
like pharmacokinetics, drug metabolisms etc.
6.Architecture: the funny thing about this
course is that it sounds cool and friendly,but
when you get in,you know that not all that
glitters are gold. You’ll get familiar with
geometric drawings,optics and so on, which
atimes is usually a pain to the ass.
That’s my submission. Any other, you can use
the comment box. Thanks.

Interesting!!! The Reason Why Students Fail Mathematics Revealed
The statistics of ma$$ failures churned out in qualifying examinations across the country can attest to this fact. However, there are still quite a number who have excelled greatly in the subject. Prof. Mohammed Ibrahim is one of such.

Many students are not best friends with Mathematics. The statistics of ma$$ failures churned out in qualifying examinations across the country can attest to this fact. However, there are still quite a number who have excelled greatly in the subject.
Prof. Mohammed Ibrahim is one of such. He has spent his whole life around the subject-studying it, teaching it, and teaching people studying to teach it. In this interview, the President of the Mathematics A$$ociation of Nigeria gives insights into why students fail mathematics.
Tell us about the Mathematics a$$ociation of Nigeria?
It was established over 53years ago in Nigeria with branches across the thirty-six states of the federation and FCT. M.A.N boasts of over a hundred thousand active members nationwide being the oldest of Mathematical bodies across the nation.
Many students see Mathematics as a difficult subject, as a result, the ma$$ failure of the subject in WASSCE, NECO, UTME and other qualifying examinations. Why do you think this is, and what can be done to improve the situation?
Ma$$ failure of students in Mathematics may be attributed to many factors which can be categorised under two sub-headings namely; Teachers
