Hi guys! I'm about to start choosing my courses for the next semester. I've got some flexibility and want to ease up a bit on my workload. What would you say are some of the easiest classes one should take in college to lighten the load?
The idea of an "easy" college course can vary significantly based on your strengths, interests, and your major. However, some courses typically have a reputation for being less demanding. It's essential to remember however that you should balance out these lighter courses with ones that help you meet your academic goals.
1. Introductory Language Courses: If you enjoy languages or have some background in a certain language, an intro course could be an easy A.
2. Physical Education Classes: Many colleges offer physical education courses or intro to sport classes that could be a fun and easy way to earn credits.
3. Public Speaking: This class can vary in difficulty, but if you're comfortable speaking in front of others, it can be an easier class, and the skills you learn will be useful in almost any career.
4. Art or Music Appreciation: These classes often just require you to learn basic knowledge about different art or music styles and perhaps attend a few performances or exhibitions.
5. Intro to Psychology: This can be a fascinating and often not overly rigorous course that can still contribute to your understanding of numerous different fields.
Remember, though, it's important not to overload on "easy" classes to the detriment of your degree progress. A balance between more challenging, major-specific classes and some lighter ones can make for the best academic and college life balance.
