Need advice on easiest science distros at Northwestern University

I'm required to take a science distro next semester at Northwestern, but I'm not exactly a science whiz. Can anyone suggest some of the easier science distros to fulfill the requirement without overwhelming myself?

Sure thing! First off, it's important to mention that "ease" can be subjective and it depends on your interests and strengths. However, there are a few classes that many Northwestern students generally consider to be more manageable.

1. Earth 201 - Earth Systems Revealed: This course is often recommended as it covers interesting and approachable topics like the Earth's climate and the solar system. The workload is seen as manageable by students, and it also fulfills the lab requirement which is a plus!

2. Physics 130 - Physics of Sports: Also considered as less intensive. If you have some interest in sports and a basic understanding of physics, then you might find this class engaging.

Just remember, no matter the course you choose, success will likely be determined by your level of engagement and interest in the material, not just its perceived difficulty. I hope this helps, and good luck!
