Lightest Natural Science class at the University of Alabama?

I need some guidance here, folks. I've got to take a Natural Science class at the University of Alabama next year, but my course load is already pretty heavy. Which ones would you consider the easiest or least time-consuming?

It might be a good idea to consider Natural Science classes at the University of Alabama that interest you, as you're more likely to do well in a subject that you're passionate about. That being said, some classes that have been considered less time-consuming by students in the past include:

1. "General Chemistry" is a beginner level course introducing students to the basic principles of chemistry.

2. "Intro to Biology for Non-Majors" offers an overview of biological structures and processes, specifically calibrated for non-majors who may not have the strongest science background. Many students have found the coursework to be manageable and engaging.

However, while these courses are often regarded as 'light', it's essential to remember that different students may find different subjects more challenging depending on their academic strengths and interests. Also, the course's workload can also vary depending on the instructor.

The best way to get an idea about a particular Natural Science class’s workload might be to talk with fellow students who've taken the class, ask the professor for a syllabus, or visit course review websites.

Good luck with your course selection!
