As a junior, I'm weighing my dual enrollment options for senior year. Mesa College is a strong contender. Can anyone share their experiences with relatively easy online classes there?
Depends on your current academic strengths and comfort zones. Typically, courses that align with your areas of strength or interest tend to feel "easier," though this can vary immensely from person to person.
That said, "Intro to Art" and "Sociology 101" have been commonly mentioned as lower-stress options. Indeed, courses under General Education, like Music Appreciation or Intro to Psychology, can also be a manageable choice for most, as these subjects are usually broad and introductory, with a focus on breadth rather than depth. They're designed to cater to students from varied backgrounds, and therefore, they typically have manageable workloads and tend not to delve too deeply into complex concepts.
Remember, though, to balance any lighter course loads with ones that will challenge you, demonstrate your mastery and capabilities, and align with your chosen academic path for college admissions.
Good luck with finding the right balance for your senior year. Dual enrollment can definitely be a great way to get a head start on college credits!
