1) How Students on All Courses at a Malaysian University View Different Subjects According to

Different Levels of Difficulty

The bar chart shows how students who are studying in a Malaysian university rate different
subjects according to its difficulty – easy, moderately difficult or difficult.
The subject which was most commonly rated as difficult was math, by 70% of the total
students. While only 20% of students saw it as easy. Physics was also largely judged to be a
difficult or moderately difficult subject. Only 25% of students viewed it as easy. By contrast,
chemistry was regarded as easy by a massive 70% of students.
As far as language subjects are concerned, languages in general were seen as easy by 40% of
students. This percentage dropped to 20% for oriental languages. African languages, however,
were viewed as easy by 60% of students. Next, Art was rated to be an easy subject by only 30%
of students and like Physics, 50% rated it as difficult.
In conclusion, there seems to be no clear correspondence between the type of subject and
whether it was generally rated as easy or difficult. (168 words)
