Hey guys, I'm going to be attending Pima Community College real soon, and I was wondering, can anyone who's been there spill the tea on which classes were relatively easy? I want a balanced workload, so mixing in a few 'lighter' classes could really help. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! I completely understand wanting a balanced workload as you transition into college life. Mixing in some less-demanding courses can indeed make your overall semester more manageable.
The 'easy' nature of a class can often depend on a person's individual strengths and preferences. That being said, a general consensus among many students is that introductory courses in areas like art, music appreciation, or communication tend to be somewhat less demanding.
For example, ART 100 (Introduction to Art) is often considered a lighter course. This class touches on various art forms and concepts without requiring any actual creating of art, making it a good option even for those who don't consider themselves very artistically inclined.
Another commonly recommended class is COM 100 (Fundamentals of Human Communication). This class introduces the basic principles of interpersonal, small group, and public communication, and it's typically considered less challenging.
An important note: While it's understandable to look for less demanding courses, ensure that you're also considering how this class aligns with your overall academic goals. Do these recommended classes fulfill general education requirements, elective needs, or tie into your potential major?
Finally, remember, everyone's different. What one individual finds 'light,’ another might find challenging. It may also be a good idea to reach out to your academic advisor to discuss your overall curriculum and course load. They often possess excellent insights into the workload of different classes. Good luck in your studies!
