Hey there! Does anyone have recommendations for relatively easy bio classes at Portland State University? I'm trying to boost my GPA while fulfilling my science requirements, so any pointers would be super appreciated!
Hello! I am familiar with Portland State University, and there are a few introductory biology courses that students often find to be a good fit for non-science majors or those who are completing their general education requirements.
1. "BI 102: Introductory Biology: Organisms": This course is more focused on organisms and their interactions which many find easier to grasp than molecular or cellular concepts. It's a good course for those looking to understand biology from a more macro perspective.
2. "BI 207: Biology for Allied Health": This course connects biology to everyday life by exploring topical issues like genetic modification, infectious diseases, and overall physical health. It's interesting and relatable.
Keep in mind that "easy" is a relative term and depends largely on your personal strengths and interests so it's always a good idea to review the course syllabi if available. Lastly, remember that even "easy" courses require diligent study to earn high grades. Good luck!
