I'm off to Santa Fe College next year and I'm really excited, but also getting anxious about managing my course load. Anyone have any suggestions for some of the easiest classes at Santa Fe College? I'd appreciate some guidance!
It sounds like you're looking for some academically lighter options to balance your schedule, which is a smart move as you transition into college life. Now, "easy" is a sliding scale since it depends a lot on your strengths and interests, so here are a few suggestions considering a broader perspective.
Many students at various colleges find Intro to Psychology classes fairly manageable as they offer an engaging way to study human behavior - and it's knowledge that can be handy in daily life too. Similarly, Art Appreciation courses can provide a refreshing change of academic pace, inviting you to view and think about art in new ways, also these classes usually do not have hefty prerequisites.
If you enjoy storytelling and analyzing literature, Introduction to Literature could be a good fit. It often involves reading and discussing various forms of literature, from short stories to plays, making it both interesting and intellectually stimulating without the heavy workload of some other English courses.
Introductory communication or public speaking courses also get recommended as they tend to focus more on skill development (giving speeches, presentations) than rigorous academic theory, which can feel less demanding on a day-to-day basis.
Remember, while these courses might be perceived as "easier", doing well in any course will require regular attendance, participation, and keeping up with assignments. Even the lighter classes should be approached with a serious mindset to get the most out of them. Also, ensure these courses align with your graduation requirements before finalizing your schedule.
