Yo, any tips on determining the easiest non-lab science class at North Central? Ive heard it's quite a challenge. I'm not a science guy but I have to fulfill my science requirement next semester.
Since you're not a science person and you're looking to fulfill a requirement, I'd suggest choosing a course that falls under a topic you're most comfortable with. Are you more of a physics, bio, or chem person? Do you have a particular curiosity towards a certain topic, like environmental science or astronomy? Those could be good places to start.
Evaluating course difficulty is subjective and it largely depends on the professor teaching the course, learning strategy of the student, and specific contents of the course. You might want to consider asking around, check if there are any syllabuses available for the courses you're considering.
In addition, look up reviews of specific professors on a site like RateMyProfessors. Remember though, take the reviews with a grain of salt as they represent individual experiences.
Remember that just because a course seems easy, it doesn't mean it won't require work. Make sure to balance the rest of your courses, so you can dedicate time to the science course, even if it's labeled as "easy".
Lastly, don't forget to consult your academic advisor. They're well aware of the course load and can offer some professional insight considering your academic ability and personal interests.
Good luck!
