Uh, a bit of a weird query, coming through. Do any of you guys know which universities are known for their super tough final exams? Would appreciate any insights.
Sure, there are indeed certain universities known for particularly rigorous exams. Remember, though, that the difficulty of exams can vary greatly depending on the specific course and professor.
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Known for its intense STEM programs, MIT is famous for its challenging exams, particularly in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
2. University of Chicago: The UChicago is known for its rigorous Core Curriculum and the challenging examinations are a part of that.
3. California Institute of Technology (Caltech): Like MIT, Caltech is known for tough courses and exams in the sciences and engineering.
4. Princeton University: It's known for rigorous academics and a tough grading system. In fact, until recently, Princeton had a grade deflation policy where they aimed to give fewer than 35% of the grades as A's.
5. University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley): UC Berkeley's classes, particularly in engineering and computer science, are notoriously tough.
Again, the difficulty of exams could change based on numerous parameters like the department, the professor, and even the specific term. Hope this helps!
