Why would I do that? A harder class doesn't necessarily mean better learning.

I did it all the time. I'd rather get a good education for my money than "coast" to a high gpa and come out useless.

Only if it was in a subject i cared about and it was hard for actual good reasons. I've been in plenty of hard classes where the difficulty came from having a bad professor more than the material being challenging.

No. I'd rather have a good number on my resume than say "but I took hard classes".

This 100%, I coasted a little bit towards the end to pull up my GPA and I really regret it, it set me back a little bit professionally imo

I took classes because I was interested in the subject, not because of how easy they are.

Taking Advanced Organic Chemistry II was probably the most pertinent example, when my biochemistry degree only needed Advanced o-chem I
