CHEM0011 (Chemistry for Biologists, 11 chapters, ~3 hr 15 min on Lorea) is commonly difficult because of specific skills: Stoichiometry and limiting reagent (Ch 4) is the single biggest failure point; then VSEPR molecular geometry (Ch 7); unit conversion and significant figures trip students in week 1; gas law problem setup (Ch 9).

PHOL0001 (Mammalian Physiology, 13 chapters, ~3 hr 30 min on Lorea) is commonly difficult because of specific skills: Tonicity and membrane transport; sliding filament and excitation-contraction coupling; action potential phases mapped to ion channels; cardiac conduction and the ECG; nephron filtration versus reabsorption; acid-base compensation.
