Hi all, I have to take a history course next semester at Clark College and I am considering History 146, 147, or 148. Has anyone taken these and could advise on the differences in difficulty? Thanks!
From a broad perspective, it's challenging to define which class might be the 'easiest' as it relies heavily on personal interest, learning style, previous knowledge on the subject area, and even the professor teaching the course. Some students might find History 146 straightforward because they're naturally drawn to the time period or concepts it explores. Here's a brief overview of each:
- History 146 typically focuses on older historical periods. For those who find the complexity and distinctiveness of such periods fascinating, this might be less demanding.
- History 147 tends to cover more recent periods. Students who feel more comfortable with more contemporary history might find this course easier to navigate.
- History 148 may address even more recent events and could be most relevant to our current global context, making it a potential choice for those who prefer being able to contextualize their studies in a modern framework.
Consider your personal interests and strengths before you make your selection. Reading course syllabi (if available) and reviews on professors can offer insight as well. Remember, the 'easiest' course would likely be the one that you find most engaging.
