Hello! I'll be starting my journey at Polk State College and I'm looking to create a balanced first semester schedule. Just curious, were there any classes you folks took that turned out to be on the easier side?
Hi there! Starting college can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, and it's smart to want to strike a balance with your classes.
At Polk State College, some students have mentioned that certain General Education courses tend to be less demanding, depending on your strengths and interests. For instance, consider some introductory classes in disciplines you're comfortable with or passionate about - such enthusiasm can make a class seem "easier."
Classes like PSY1012 (General Psychology) and SPC 1608 (Public Speaking) have been mentioned as manageable by some students. Public speaking class focuses on personal growth and building communication skills, while General Psychology provides a broad overview of the field, making them pretty accessible.
In the art realm, ARH 1000 (Art Appreciation) is often a recommended class. It offers broad exposure to different art forms and movements, but doesn't typically require any artistic skill or specific background knowledge.
If you have an affinity for numbers but don't want to get in over your head immediately, MAC1105 (College Algebra) is often recommended. It's a fundamental math course that combines different elements from high school Algebra, making it pretty manageable if you're comfortable with math.
Remember these recommendations can be subjective because what might be easy to one student could be challenging to another. You should still expect to spend time studying and doing assignments. Please ensure you cross-check with your academic advisor before enrolling.
Lastly, try using websites such as RateMyProfessors where you can read reviews about individual professors and their classes. Combined with the above suggestions, this could help you create a balanced schedule for your first semester. Best of luck in your journey at Polk State College!
