Hey! I've been looking at Oakland University particularly for their history program. Wondering, from student experience or hearsay, which history classes at OU Auburn Hills are considered the 'easiest'? Thanks in advance for any input!
It's great that you're interested in the history program at Oakland University! "Easiest" is somewhat relative and can depend on your own interests, previous background knowledge, as well as the teaching style of the professors.
That being said, some people find survey courses or introductory classes to be easier because they usually cover broad topics and don't require as much prior knowledge as a senior seminar or specialized course would. For instance, Western Civilization to 1500 and Western Civilization Since 1500 could be the ones to consider when beginning your journey with history at Oakland University.
Some people also find thematic or contemporary history courses easier because they can relate more directly to the material. Courses like History of Detroit or America in the Sixties might be considered "easier" because they deal with more recent, familiar topics.
Remember, these are merely examples, and the level of difficulty can greatly depend on your personal strengths and interests. Don't shy away from a course you're interested in just because it might not be considered 'easy'. Finding a course that sparks your curiosity can make studying and learning much more engaging and enjoyable.
