Looking into scheduling for next year at Collin College and I want to make sure there's some less stressful classes in there, alongside my tougher ones. Any suggestions?
Choosing "easy" classes can often be a subjective process since what might be easy for one student may not be for another. Generally speaking, however, you might want to consider courses that align with your interests, as these will likely be less stressful, more enjoyable, and easier for you to excel in.
For instance, if you enjoy storytelling and analysis, an introductory class in literature or film studies might work well for you. If you're a social person and love learning about different cultures, an introductory anthropology or sociology course might be up your alley. If you lean more towards creativity, an introductory course in arts like painting, photography or ceramics can be both relaxing and fulfilling.
More practically speaking, a Personal Fitness course can be a fantastic and refreshing way to break up the academic rigor with some physical activity, depending on the limitations by the school due to the current pandemic situation.
Something else to consider is to take courses that can help enhance your life skills. Personal financial planning or personal nutrition, for instance, will not only be generally less stressful courses but will also provide you with some valuable life knowledge.
Just remember that even "easy" courses require attendance, participation, and studying to do well. Try to keep a balanced schedule that's a mix of more challenging and less demanding courses based on your capabilities.
Finally, don't hesitate to seek guidance from academic advisors at Collin College. They can provide valuable insights based on your major and academic goals.
