I've heard that some science classes in college are easier than others, especially for non-science majors. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the easiest science class might be? I'd like to find a class that's somewhat applicable to daily life, if possible.
Sure, there are a number of science courses that are known to be more approachable for those not pursuing a science major. Remember, the term 'easy' can be subjective and can differ from person to person. That being said, here are a few suggestions:
1. Astronomy: This class offers a broad overview of the cosmos, from stars and planets to galaxies and the universe, which can be considered easier and it's fascinating if you're interested in space. It's often less math-intensive than some physics courses.
2. Environmental Science: This class often covers topic areas like climate change, ecology, and conservation. It's considered accessible by many students, and it's quite pertinent to current real-world topics.
3. Human Biology or Anatomy: Understanding how the human body works can be quite useful in day to day life and this class is often more accessible for non-science majors. Topics like nutrition, fitness, and wellness are often included which may be interest to most students.
4. Psychology: While more of a social science, many schools include psychology in their natural science distribution requirements. It's also quite relevant to daily life, as it provides insight into human behavior.
5. Geology: Often termed as "rocks for jocks", this class typically covers the study of the Earth's formation and the processes that have shaped it over time. It might include fun field trips too!
Just remember, what you find easy or hard can depend largely on your own interests and strengths. If you're more interested in a subject, it can often seem 'easier' because you're more engaged. Good luck with your course selection!
