Hey guys, I'm hoping to apply to the University of Miami and I know I'll need to fulfill some science credits. Are there some science classes there that are considered 'easier' or more manageable for someone not so strong in the subject? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Sure, I can help with that. At the University of Miami, like many universities, how 'easy' a science class is can largely depend on your academic background and interests. That said, there are a few classes that I've heard are popular for their manageability as general education classes or electives.
One course that typically comes up is BIL 103 - Introduction to Ecology. This course presents an overview of the subject of Ecology and evolutionary principles.
Ultimately, the key is finding a subject you're interested in because when you're interested, the work tends to feel easier. And, of course, every instructor is different, so you'll want to get a feel for the teaching style that works best for you. Check out syllabi or professor reviews, if available, to give you a better idea of the workload and style of the course. Remember to also make use of resources like tutoring centers, office hours, study groups, and supplemental instruction to help you succeed in fulfilling your science credits.
