What's the easiest college course?

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you have taken a class at college that you found easy? I know it depends on the person, but is there any course that's widely considered to be less difficult than others? It'd be nice to balance my schedule with a lighter class load for a semester.

Hey there! You're right that what might be considered easy can be subjective, but there are typically some courses at colleges that are known to be less demanding. These courses often have less reading, writing, or mathematical/technical work, and may require less time commitment outside of class.

One example might be an introduction to film or film history course, where the primary assignments involve watching movies and perhaps writing short reflections or participating in discussions about them. Another example could be a beginning-level physical education course or fitness class, such as yoga, Zumba, or even bowling. These courses usually focus more on participation and personal growth rather than theory and academic rigor.

However, it's crucial to remember that your interests and personal strengths play a considerable role in what might be "easy." A course that appears easy for someone else might be difficult for you and vice versa. So, when selecting a lighter course, consider picking a subject that genuinely interests you or caters to your strengths, making the workload feel more manageable.

Lastly, you might want to confirm with other students who have taken the course or consult online reviews available for courses/professors on websites like RateMyProfessor. These resources can provide insight into the expectations and workload for various classes. Good luck with finding the right course for you!
