Hello! Current Razorback here. I'm not a Science major but I need to tick off a few credits. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the easiest science classes at the U of A?
Sure, I'm happy to help! As an Arkansas student, you'll likely have a range of science classes you could take to fulfill credit requirements. Remember though, 'easy' can sometimes be subjective and depend on your interest and learning style.
1. Astronomy 2003: General Astronomy: This has a reputation for being interesting and concept-driven, rather than heavily reliant on mathematics. It offers an overview of modern astronomy, excluding the solar system.
2. Geology 1113: Physical Geology: Many students find this class manageable. It covers the principles of physical and environmental geology, placing special emphasis on geologic processes and their impact on the environment.
3. Biology 1543/1541L: Principles of Biology: If you enjoy biology, these lecture and lab courses could be a good fit. They are general introductory courses covering elements of biology from molecular aspects to ecological relationships.
Let me stress, however, that what may seem easy for one person might not be for another. So, browse through some course catalogs, syllabi, and perhaps speak to your academic advisor or other students who have taken these classes just to get a clear picture of what to expect. And remember to engage and take advantage of the resources around you, like setting up study groups and going to office hours. Good luck!
