Struggling with College Chemistry - Can Anyone Suggest the Easiest Class?

Hey guys, I'm planning my college schedule for next year and I've got a bit of a predicament. I need to take a chemistry class, and I'm totally cool with that, but my skills aren't exactly top-notch. Any of you know what's considered the easiest chemistry class at the 121 level in college?

Typically, the easiest chemistry class at the college level (in terms of material) is considered to be "Introduction to Chemistry" or "General Chemistry". These courses often start with the basic foundations of chemistry. They cover elements, compounds, distinguishing physical and chemical properties, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and minor touches on things like atomic theory, chemical bonding, or the states of matter.

But remember, what is "easy" can be relative. Different professors and different schools might have different ways of teaching these introductory classes, which can also affect a class's difficulty. So, it might help to do some research on your professors and learn more about their teaching style along with the specific contents of each potential course.

It's also worth mentioning that you might want to consider strengthening your chemistry skills, especially if your course of study requires it. If you're struggling, seek out on-campus resources such as tutoring programs or the professor's office hours. Try to fully engage with labs, exercises, and study groups to help solidify the information you're learning in class.

Overcoming a subject that's challenging for you can build resilience and prove to yourself that you can handle tough situations. This sort of growth is just as valuable as academic knowledge itself!
