Physical Science Course in College

Yo, so I've got to fulfill my physical science requirement but I'm lowkey scared cuz I'm not exactly a science whiz. Just wondering what's generally known as the easiest physical science class to take in college?

Hey there! So, it can be tough to pinpoint the "easiest" physical science course because it honestly tends to come down to personal strengths and preferences. However, I can tell you that students often find certain general education courses, like Introductory Astronomy or Introductory Environmental Science, to be more manageable compared to something like Physics or Chemistry.

In Astronomy, you might study the basics of our solar system or the lifecycle of stars, and it's generally less math-intensive. While in Environmental Science, you'll examine the interaction between humans and the environment, exploring both ecological and societal perspectives. Both courses offer a blend of the physical with the practical, which makes it more relatable and interesting to some students.

But remember: just because a course is considered "easier" by some doesn't necessarily mean you'll find it easy too, and on the flip side, you might surprise yourself by enjoying a subject you initially thought would be tough. Good luck!
