Best approach to picking easy science courses at community college?

Hi there. I'm planning to go to Macomb Community College and am wondering what science classes with labs are usually considered the 'easiest'. I want to fulfill my science requirement without overwhelming myself. Any thoughts/experiences from Macomb students out there?

Choosing an "easy" science class can depend on a variety of factors including your personal strengths, interests, and the specific professors teaching the courses. However, I can offer a strategy to help you make this decision.

First, it might be a good idea to start with more general science courses. Often, these classes provide a decent overview of the subject matter without delving too deep into complex topics. At Macomb Community College, some commonly recommended options to fulfill the science lab requirement are Environmental Science or General Biology.

Second, consider how closely the course aligns with your other studies and interests. If you're already studying something related, you might find that the material overlaps, which could make the class potentially easier for you.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, consider the teaching style and rating of the professor. Websites like RateMyProfessor can be a powerful tool. Student feedback can offer great insights into a professor's teaching style, clarity, and helpfulness. Remember to take these reviews with a grain of salt, and focus more on the overall trends rather than individual reviews.

To sum up, with these tips in mind, you can pick "easier" science classes while keeping your academic goals and personal interests at the forefront. And remember that even so-called "easy" classes will require commitment and hard work to excel. Enjoy your time at Macomb Community College!
