Hello everyone. I’ve always leaned more towards the humanities, and but I need to get some science credits to graduate. Can anyone advise on what the easiest life science class in college is? Thank you so much for your guidance.
First and foremost, what may be considered "easy" can be highly subjective and greatly depends on your own interests, strengths, and the professors teaching the courses at your college. That being said, there are certain life science courses that are often regarded as more accessible for students, especially those coming from a humanities background.
1. Introductory Biology/General Biology: This is usually intended for beginner science students, and it typically gives an overview of basic biological principles. The course often includes basic cell biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, and biological diversity.
2. Environmental Science: This course is often interdisciplinary, combining elements of biology, geology, chemistry, and environmental studies. It also frequently includes discussions on current environmental issues, policy-making, and sustainability, which you might find interesting as a humanities student.
3. Human Biology/Anatomy: Another option is a Human Biology or Human Anatomy course which focuses on human body systems. It can sometimes be less challenging as students can relate the knowledge to everyday life experiences.
4. Non-major Biology: Some colleges offer biology courses specifically designed for non-science majors. The content is usually less technical and includes more discussions around the subjects that could be more appealing to students without a science background.
Remember, the "easiness" of a class can heavily depend on the specific professor and the structure of the course. Do some digging into course syllabi if you can access them, and consider asking around among peers at your college for professor recommendations. It's possible that your college might have a reputation for a particular course being easy or hard. Best of luck with your choice!
