Hey everybody! I'm stoked to be attending the College of Charleston soon. Right now, I'm trying to piece together my class schedule. To keep stress levels manageable, which courses at CoC would you recommend as less intense yet interesting?
Hello and congrats on your upcoming start at the College of Charleston!
In terms of seeking lighter workload classes, Theatre Appreciation (THTR 176) often comes up as a considerably less intense option. This class covers a wide span of topics related to theater, from history to production, and includes live performances. It's a good blend of informative and entertaining.
Another great option could be Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 101). Not only is it a fascinating subject, but it can also help develop your critical thinking abilities. The level of difficulty can depend on the professor, of course, but generally speaking, it's usually manageable.
Lastly, consider looking into a course from the Department of Communication — Introduction to Communication (COMM 281), for example. This broad introductory class usually covers several areas of study within the field, and the workload tends to be lighter.
Remember, though, your course load overall will depend on your major and degree requirements, so be sure to balance these lighter courses with your more rigorous ones accordingly. Happy scheduling!
