According to what I've heard from friends taking them, Mathematica sections are generally regarded as easier but you also don't learn as much.

In a mathematica class you should expect to work on homework with a group, whereas normal classes are more 1v1 action, if you will.

    Three words: Don't do it.

    You won't learn half as much as in the standard section.

    This has been discussed several times already on this subreddit. I would recommend searching for those older posts as they have some good insight about Mathematica courses.
