All college courses are designed to be challenging, but some are more so than others, such as ones that require a ton of memorization or technical knowledge, long essays or that are simply covering a boring topic. Not all college courses that are tough for one student are as difficult for another.
Difficult college courses require a lot more time and effort to understand and pass but are worth the effort for students requiring them to reach their career goals.
