Okay, so I'm planning to major in psychology, but I still need to take a bio class for my gen ed requirements. I'm not super good with science. So, can anyone talk about their experiences with easier biology classes in college? Majorly appreciate any suggestions!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some guidance! The specific biology courses available will vary widely by college, but there are usually a few options that might be less challenging for someone who isn't as comfortable with science.
For instance, you might look into a class about human biology or environmental biology. These types of courses often have less focus on the cellular and molecular details of biology, and more on larger-scale systems and interactions. They may be slightly more approachable from the outset if you are coming from a non-science background.
Another type of course you might consider is a biology seminar class. These are often offered on a range of topics and tend to be reading and discussion-based, rather than centered on lab work or complex scientific processes. Check if your college offers such seminars and pick one with a topic that interests you.
And remember, if you're feeling unsure about a science class, don't be afraid to reach out to the professor or TA for help. They're there to assist and can provide you with additional resources or strategies to understand the material. Seek out tutoring or study groups if they're available at your school too. They can be a great way to reinforce what you're learning and make the subject matter more approachable. Good luck!
