Navigating social sciences at college - easiest classes?

Hi all, I'm required to take a few social science classes in college as part of my curriculum. I don't really know where to start. Could anyone shed some light on the easiest ones to tackle?

It's important to understand that the "easiness" of a class can be subjective and can depend on several factors like your personal interest, the teaching style of the professor, and the general workload for the course. Nonetheless, there are some social science classes often regarded as having a lighter workload or more accessible content.

1. Introductory Sociology: This course often provides a broad overview of the societal structures we operate in and can be quite interesting, particularly if you enjoy understanding human behavior in a societal context. They typically cover various topics like culture, socialization, social groups, and social problems.

2. Introductory Psychology: Again, this can be a fascinating class if you have any interest in understanding human behavior and thought processes. Plus, some students consider this class to be relatively straightforward provided you keep up with the readings and lectures.

3. Introduction to Anthropology: Anthropology studies human societies and cultures. Like Sociology, introductory classes in Anthropology often require you to memorize a broad array of concepts, but these may be less complex and less theory-intensive than higher-level classes in the discipline.

4. Principles of Microeconomics: While this does involve some quantitative analysis, it's generally a big-picture course and some find the basics of supply and demand, and the study of individual consumers and businesses to be more straightforward and applicable to daily life.

Remember, it's not just about picking the "easiest" course. Try to select classes that align with your interests as well, as you'll likely be more invested and perform better as a result. Out of the ones mentioned, you can look up the syllabus if available, read course reviews, or talk to senior students about their experiences which could help you make an informed decision.
