I did geophysics, 2 of the most challenging courses i took were complex analysis and structural geology. Complex analysis was incredibly heavy on proofs and it was the first time ever doing proofs and it was a summer course, structural geology was just an extreme amount of memorization, pure blunt memorization which i disliked heavily due to the amount of material covered in the exams, the exams in structural geology were the most comprehensive exams i have ever taken, every subject material within the textbook was covered on those 2 exams, so one would practically have to memorize or either somehow someway gain access to previous exams to do average to great on the exam. I never once used a past exam in university and somehow i was able to procure a C- in complex analysis and an B- in structural geology, the average grade for structural geology was a C- and the average grade for complex analysis that summer was a C-, so i think i did pretty good given my honest academic record.

Ohh and the first time i took PDEs i got a D- and the second time i got a B+, in my case pdes really did depend on the professor, frenchman mathematicians are way better than russian mathematicians.
