Hi there! As I'm looking at Boston College as my potential dream school, I'm wondering what the easiest math class is over there. Math is not really my strong suit, and I want to focus on subjects that align more with my major. Any tips or insights from students who've been there or are attending right now?
Some students who are not as confident in their math skills find that MATH1100: Calculus for the Biological and Social Sciences can be a more accessible option at Boston College. This course takes a less abstract approach to calculus, applying concepts to real-world examples in the social and biological sciences.
It's worth noting though, choosing the "easiest" class may not always be the best strategy. While it's understandable to want to focus on your strengths and areas of interest, colleges value a broad-based education. Don't shy away from a challenge, especially if it's a subject that you're genuinely curious about. Taking a more difficult math class, provided you have the supporting foundational knowledge, can truly enhance your learning experience and can potentially spark new interest.
Before settling on a class, it also can be worthwhile to get a sense of the professor's teaching style and check out course reviews from previous students if available. Innovative teaching methods can make a significant difference in your understanding of the material, no matter how difficult the subject matter may seem at first. Good luck with your journey!
