As a future Terrier at Boston Uni, I have been looking into the course offerings. Are there any classes that are known for being particularly straightforward or easier? Might help me manage my workload a bit better.
While most universities, including Boston University, don't have definitive "easy" classes because students' perceptions of what's straightforward or easier may vary based on their unique strengths and interests, there are a few classes at BU that students have frequently reported as being manageable.
1. CAS CS 108 - Programming for Non-CS Majors: Don't be deterred by the fact it's a computer science course. Many students report that this class feels like a lecture-based coding bootcamp where assignments are very straightforward.
2. CAS LX 250 - Introduction to Linguistics: This course, which covers how language works, is generally perceived as interesting and not too demanding. Moreover, the skills you learn in this course could be really beneficial for writing and communication in other courses.
3. COM FT 201 - Screen Language: This is essentially a class where you watch and analyze movies. A lot of students find it enjoyable and a nice break from more intense classes.
4. CAS SO 100 - Principles in Sociology: This is a survey course, which can be easier because it covers a broad array of topics at a surface level. If you're interested in societal structures and the dynamics between different social groups, you may find this class fascinating and less taxing.
5. CFA MT 101 - Music Appreciation: Most of the course focuses on listening to and studying different styles and periods of music, which many students find enjoyable and digestible.
Remember, always balance your schedule. For every class you see as a breather, make sure you are meeting your major's requirements and are taking classes that challenge you and promote your learning.
