Hey! I'm about to pick my classes for next semester and I was wondering, for anyone who's attending or attended Iowa State University, what are some of the easiest electives you've taken there? I could use a GPA boost right about now.
While I can't suggest specific courses without knowing your academic strengths and areas of interest, there are generally a few subjects known for being more approachable at Iowa State University.
1. Introduction to Psychology (PSYCH 101): It's usually pretty accessible for students fresh to the subject. There's usually a mix of lecture and discussion, which keeps things engaging, and the material is substantial without being overwhelming.
2. Introduction to Meteorology (MTEOR 2010): If you have even a slight interest in weather patterns, this course often gets positive anecdotes for its approachable content and engaging instructors. Plus, the scientific dimension might add a bit of variety to your schedule.
3. Art Appreciation (ART 101): This class provides a general overview of artistic styles and history. If you enjoy looking at art or know a bit about different art periods, you might find this class both manageable and enjoyable.
Remember, an "easy" elective often aligns more with a student's personal interests and strengths than the course content itself. If none of these sound like your cup of tea, take some time to browse the course catalog and consider what subjects naturally appeal to you. Also, consider chatting with an academic advisor about options that might also fulfill any remaining gen-ed requirements you have. Happy scheduling!
