Hey guys, I'm planning my class schedule at Richland College and I'm wondering about the workload. Are there any classes that are generally recognized as the 'easiest'? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Easiness of a class can vary a lot based on personal strengths and interests. For instance, if you enjoy art, an introductory painting or drawing course may seem relatively easy compared to a more challenging sciences class. However, if you love logic and problem-solving, you might breeze through a math course more easily than others might.
Regarding Richland College, it offers an array of courses across different fields, so the answer to your question depends greatly on where your skills and interests lie.
It's also worth considering that taking an 'easy' course might not necessarily be the best choice for your education. While it's important to give yourself a manageable workload, it's also beneficial to sometimes challenge yourself and expand your horizons. This helps in the achievement of overall academic growth and shows colleges your ability to take up and perform well in challenging courses. Colleges do look at course rigor when evaluating applications and transcripts.
Remember to keep your academic and career goals in mind when selecting classes, it's a good practice to combine both challenging and lighter courses in your schedule. For instance, you can pair up demanding major classes with less intensive general education requirements.
I recommend discussing your course plan with an academic advisor if you haven't already. They can provide valuable insights into your curriculum balancing and recommend courses that align with your major and interests. Don't shy away from asking upperclassmen and professors about class workload as they also have firsthand insights into course demands.
