Seeking Advice on College Science Courses

Yo! I need to fulfill a science credit but I'm honestly a bit concerned as math and science aren't really my strengths. I want to ask y'all, which science class would you consider the easiest course for college?

Hey there! It's okay if science and math aren't your strongest subjects – everyone has their own strengths and interests. When it comes to fulfilling your science credit, the "easiness" of a class can really depend on the person, as different subjects appeal to different people. However, I've found that many students without a strong science or math background have found courses such as Introductory Biology or Environmental Science to be more approachable.

Introductory Biology often covers a wide range of topics at a high level, such as cell biology, genetics, ecology, and evolution. It doesn't usually delve too deeply into any one topic, which may make it more manageable. Just keep in mind that there may be some memorization involved.

Environmental Science, on the other hand, is often interdisciplinary and discusses how science relates to real-world issues. It can cover subjects such as climate change, pollution, and conservation, which most students find interesting and applicable to their daily lives.

Do check with your advisor or other students who have taken these courses before deciding, as course difficulty can depend on the instructor and specific college. Also, take advantage of resources provided by your institution like study groups, tutors, or office hours if you need additional support. Good luck!
