The most challenging course that students highlight is Organic Chemistry II. The subject matter can be quite tough to grasp, especially because it builds upon the intricate concepts covered in Organic Chemistry I. It's fundamental in understanding the construction and properties of different molecular compounds, and it also has a significant amount of lab work involved.

Perhaps what makes Organic Chemistry II particularly challenging for many students is that it requires a significant time commitment for studying, attending lectures, and lab work. The concepts covered in this course are not necessarily 'common sense' and often require students to think abstractly and critically. Furthermore, the final examination is usually cumulative, so it's crucial to understand and remember all the concepts throughout the course.

However, the difficulties faced during this course often lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject. Students have shared that even though it is challenging, the course is definitely worth the effort.
