Hi everyone, I'm a junior at the University of Dayton and I need an easy elective to round off my course schedule next quarter. Any recommendations? Appreciate your help!
Hello! Picking an "easy" elective can often depend on your strengths, interest, and major. However, a course that many students at the University of Dayton have mentioned as being enjoyable and manageable is MUS 205, which is Music, Technology and Culture. This class is designed for non-music majors and provides an introduction to the elements of music and musical forms.
The coursework generally involves listening to different forms of music from various periods and learning how to interpret and appreciate them. It doesn't require prior knowledge of musical composition nor a music background. It involves some reading and listening assignments, but usually no high-stress exams or projects.
Another course commonly mentioned is REL 103, Introduction to Religious and Theological Studies. This course offers insights into different religious traditions and critical theories used in the study of religion. Students usually find the content of this course intriguing and the workload quite manageable.
But remember, what's "easy" can greatly vary from person to person. It's always a good idea to choose a course that aligns with your interests, as you're more likely to engage well and perform better in a subject that interests you. Good luck with your course selection!
