Santa Clara University - course suggestions?

Has anyone here attended Santa Clara University? I'm in the process of planning my course load and was wondering if there are any 'easier' classes you might recommend.

While it might be tempting to look for 'easier' classes, it may be more beneficial to look for engaging and impactful classes that align with your academic and career interests. That being said, you might consider the following courses, which are often well-reviewed by students at Santa Clara University:

1. "Creativity and Innovation" under the Business School – This course is usually recommended for its blend of practical skills and creativity workshops.

2. "Public Speaking" under the Communications Department – Beyond being a critical skill to have, students have praised this class for its interactive nature and skill-building format.

3. "Environmental Issues" under the Environmental Studies & Sciences Department – Great if you have an interest in contemporary environmental concerns. The course is not known to be heavily demanding but is informative and engaging.

Remember, it's always beneficial to balance your academic schedule with a variety of course types – some challenging ones in your major or intended major area, a few that help foster new skills or personal interests, and some that fulfill a general education requirement or elective.

Also, don't forget to consider your workload outside of classes, like extracurricular activities, on-campus jobs, and other commitments. You want to ensure you have a manageable schedule and can excel in all areas of your college experience. Try to strike a balance that works for you.

Please note that the perceived difficulty or ease of a class can greatly vary based on individual skills, prior knowledge, and style of learning among other factors. So always take course suggestions with a grain of salt and do your research when deciding your schedule.
