I'm planning on transferring to Florida International University. I'm a little nervous about amping up my academic game. Can anyone tell me about some of the easiest classes I could take there to lighten my course load?
Hi there! When considering classes that might seem "easier," it's important to remember that difficulty can be very subjective and dependent on your individual strengths, interests, and prior knowledge. That being said, I can understand why you want to ease into your new environment at Florida International University (FIU). A few courses regularly mentioned by FIU students as manageable include:
1. SPC 2608: Public Speaking: Students find this course practical and generally easier than others, especially for those who are already comfortable with speaking to an audience. It allows for a lot of creativity and honing in on communication skills.
2. RMI 3011: Risk Management: This is a general business course that provides an introduction to risk management and insurance, with a straightforward grading system rooted primarily in multiple-choice exams.
3. SYG 2000: Introduction to Sociology: This course offers a broad overview of sociology, which some students find to be more straightforward and less intensive than other subjects.
4. HUN 1201: Principles of Nutrition: This class is considered easier by some because of it covers relatable, practical topics about everyday health considerations.
While these are a few courses students have mentioned in the past, I would strongly advise selecting courses related to your major or field of interest. It's easier and more enjoyable to excel in what you're genuinely interested in rather than trying to take what you think might be an "easy" class. Also, you should consider the instructor teaching the class. Some professors might have a teaching style that suits you better, so consider looking up professor ratings and reviews.
Last but not least, remember to take advantage of the resources at FIU, like tutoring centers and office hours, which can be very helpful regardless of the class difficulty. Good luck with your transfer to FIU!
