I'll be attending Palomar College next year and was wondering if there are any classes or professors that you'd recommend for beginners or just overall classes that are easier to manage?
First of all, congrats on your decision to attend Palomar College! When it comes to selecting "easier" or introductory classes, it largely depends on your academic interests and fields of study.
If you're a fan of history, many students have reported enjoying 'History 101 - World History to 1500' as a manageable and worthwhile class. For those interested in the life sciences, 'Bio 100 - General Biology' serves as an engaging yet manageable introduction to the subject. If you're leaning more towards humanities, 'Philosophy 100 - Introduction to Philosophy' can be a enlightening course without being too intense.
As for professors, this might be variable because teaching styles and student preferences can widely differ. You might want to use RateMyProfessors or similar platforms for specific professor recommendations. To be noted: not all reviews may be accurate, so don't solely depend on this tool. Ideally, you should balance it with other factors, such as your own interests, the style of learning that suits you, etc.
Just remember at the end of the day, college is about exploring your interests and learning new things. Don't let the difficulty of a class deter you from taking it if the subject matter genuinely interests you. Enjoy your time at Palomar!
