Hey there! I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with me about effortlessly manageable classes at the College of DuPage. Seeking to keep my GPA boosted while learning something new.
While the definition of "easy" can be subjective and depend on your personal strengths and interests, I can give you some general advice. I won't necessarily point out specific courses, but I'll give you guidance on how to identify some potentially manageable ones.
In my observation, introductory courses are often a good starting point for boosting your GPA. Examples of these types of classes are Intro to Sociology, Intro to Philosophy, or Intro to Psychology which serve as fundamental courses for these disciplines. They typically cover an overview of the subject which gives you a holistic perspective and less emphasis on in-depth and detailed coursework.
That said, the "easiest" classes often depend on where your interests and strengths lie. Check out the course catalog to find classes that interest you. You'll be more likely to stay engaged and perform well in classes that you find interesting.
Reading reviews on the course or the professor may also give you an idea of what to expect. Keep in mind that opinions will vary, so take these reviews with a grain of salt and remember that the effort you put in often correlates to the grade you receive.
Another tip is to communicate with your academic advisor about this. They likely have a better understanding of the courses offered and their relative difficulty based on feedback from past students.
I hope this helps, and good luck with your studies!
