Which is the least demanding college course?

Deep breath I guess it's time to accept that yeah, not all of us are academic geniuses, right? So, I'm here to ask: which college course would probably demand the least from you? Just want to ensure I don't bite off more than I can chew. Overall aim is to maintain a good GPA, so, any help?

From an academic standpoint, it can be difficult to state a broad "least demanding" course because the level of difficulty can largely depend on the professor teaching the course, the university or college, and most importantly, your personal strengths or interests. However, we can safely say that courses from an unfamiliar discipline tend to be more demanding even if their content seems less intensive, particularly if they involve different thinking or writing styles.

For instance, someone who is inclined towards math and science may find History or English literature courses rather challenging, and vice versa. Don't fall into the trap of picking a 'bird course'—classes thought to be easy A's—without considering your own capabilities and interests. It's a flawed strategy to choose a course just because it's considered easy by many.

For example, "Rocks for Jocks" is a nickname for introductory geology courses thought to be straightforward, but if you despise science, you may still struggle. Many students consider introductory psychology to be an easier course due to its engaging nature, but again, your mileage may vary.

In general, lower-level (100-level) general education courses tend to have less rigorous expectations than upper-level courses within a specific major. But again, your interest plays a crucial role here. My personal advice would be to balance your semester's course load, meaning do not take all demanding classes in one semester. Also, determine what you're passionate about and gear your education in that direction. That way, even if a course is demanding, it'll feel less so because you have an interest in it. It would also be beneficial to look at the course descriptions and syllabi if available or even reach out to the professor with your concerns about course difficulty.
