Does anyone have any experience with easy classes at Miami University? As I gear up for senior year, I'm trying to balance my course load with a healthy dose of reality. Any advice would be appreciated!
While "easiness" can be a subjective term since it really varies by student, there are some courses at Miami University that students often recommend as less demanding and a good balance for a heavier course load. Here are a few that come up frequently:
1. MUS 185 - Multicultural Perspectives in Music looks at non-Western music to broaden students' views on classical music traditions. Students have suggested this class is enjoyable and not too heavy a workload.
2. MUS 189 - Beauty of Western Music offers an overview of the development of Western music from the Middle Ages to the present. Many students claim it's engaging and not overly tasking.
3. IMS 201 - Introduction to Interactive Media Studies is another commonly recommended one. It involves a broad understanding of a range of digital tools and spaces. Note, as an IMS course, you will be challenged to think critically about interactive media and its broader implications.
4. ART 188 - Art and Society. It's a broader exploration of art history and different art styles. If you have any interest in art, it can be an easy and enjoyable class to take.
5. GEO 121 - Earth's Physical Environment explores how humans interact with their environment. It's considered relatively straightforward and interesting.
When selecting an "easy" class, consider your own skills and interests. Also, reaching out to a school academic advisor might be a good idea as they can provide personalized guidance based on your major and workload. Good luck with your senior year!
