Seeking advice on easiest natural science courses in college

Hey all, I'm not the strongest in natural sciences, but I know I'll have to take a course or two in college. Could anyone share experiences or suggestions for the easiest natural science classes to take in college that aren’t too heavy? Will really appreciate it!

Hello there! Natural science requirements can indeed be a challenge if it's not your primary interest, but fortunately, most colleges have a range of classes aimed at non-science majors that are meant to be more accessible, but still interesting.

An Intro to Astronomy course, for example, is often a popular choice for individuals who are not particularly involved with the sciences. Astronomy courses often combine lectures with unique experiences like planetarium visits or telescope nights, and involve understanding basic concepts rather than intense computations or lab work.

Alternatively, there are often Environmental Science classes aimed at non-majors that cover a wide range of topics and generate interesting discussions about real world issues, such as climate change or ecosystem preservation.

Another option could be the Human Biology or Intro to Psychology courses. These are more likely to involve discussions and papers rather than intensive lab work or complex problems.

Finally, you may want to consider taking a course in the Geosciences. It's an interdisciplinary field that explores the Earth's systems, so you could learn about everything from climate patterns to tectonic plate movements. Plus, these courses usually involve some fantastic field trips (virtual or in-person)!

Just to add, the 'easiness' of a course does depend on your interest in the subject, the teacher's approach, and the specific content, so ensure to look at course syllabi, consider your own interests, and even ask upperclassmen for advice if possible. Good luck!
