Smooth-Sailing through College Classes?

Hey, everyone. Quick question, as I'm planning my college schedule for next semester: what are some 'easy' class recommendations? Aiming for a balanced mixture of work and play in college!

a year ago

Choosing 'easy' classes greatly depends on your major, your college, and your personal strengths and weaknesses. However, there are some classes that many students have found to be less demanding while still being interesting and valuable.

1. Introduction to Sociology: This class often covers a wide range of topics and requires you to think critically about society and its structures. The workload usually revolves around reading and discussing, rather than having intensive assignments.

2. Creative Writing: If you enjoy writing or need some space for creativity in your routine, this can be a great class to take. The workload usually involves writing short stories or pieces which can be a fun change from academic essays.

3. Introduction to Film Studies: This can be an enjoyable class as it often involves watching and discussing films. You'd generally be evaluated based on your participation in discussions, and perhaps a few essays.

4. History of Music or Art: These classes usually explore the evolution of music or art over time. They can be interesting and engaging without a heavy workload.

Keep in mind that 'easy' can mean different things to different people, and classes that seem simple may still require effort and study. Also, remember that even if a class is considered 'easy', it's still important to take it seriously and put forth your best effort. At the end of the day, choosing classes you're interested in will make your coursework feel less like a chore!
