Advice on Less Demanding Classes at Collin College

Hi everyone! Very soon I'll be joining Collin College and I'm in the middle of sorting out my class schedule. To keep from being overwhelmed, I'm hoping someone can give me some leads on which classes at Collin are on the relax side of things.

Choosing a schedule with a balance of course rigor is important, and it's great you're focused on finding a pace that works best for you at Collin College. While it can vary based on your major and individual faculty, some common suggestions are:

1. Art Appreciation: This is a common recommendation because you don't have to be good at creating art to succeed. This class is usually focused on appreciating and understanding different forms of art as well as different historic art periods.

2. Introduction to Cinema: If you enjoy watching films and discussing them, this class could potentially be enjoyable and less demanding. You'll watch films, analyze them, and generally learn about the film-making process. .

3. Public Speaking: If you're comfortable with speaking, public speaking sometimes can be less intense. It does involve presenting frequently, but the workload outside of preparing for speeches is sometimes lighter than in content-heavy classes.

4. Introduction to Sociology: This kind of broad, introductory course can often be a little less intense when you’ve just got to grasp the topics on a surface level.

However, it's important to check in with your academic advisor before scheduling. They can guide you based on your interests, strengths, and degree requirements. Remember that each student's experience can be different, and a class one student finds easy might be challenging for another. Be sure to skim through previous course syllabuses and consider the amount of assignments, exams, and out-of-class work required.
