College Courses Known for Being Easy

Hey folks! So, say you had room in your schedule for one more class, and you wanted something that's famously 'easy' (whatever that means), what course would you choose? Especially as a nice break amongst the more challenging ones. Asking for...a friend. :)

While it's worth noting that 'easy' can look different for every individual, there are certainly classes known for being less rigorous than others. These often fall into a category called "Gen Eds" or "Distribution Requirements", which are designed to make sure students get a well-rounded education.

One famously easy class at many colleges is Intro to Rock Music or History of Rock and Roll. These types of classes examine the cultural and social impact of rock music, and don't require any musical knowledge or background.

Another commonly cited easy course is Environmental Science 101. It often covers basic principles and is geared towards non-science majors, so it's usually not as challenging as other science courses.

Psychology 101 also tends to be popular among students looking for lighter course load but with an interesting subject. It often covers foundational concepts in the field and requires more memorization and understanding of concepts than rigorous analysis or lab work.

Of course, these 'easy' classes might not be easy for everyone. It could depend on your interests, learning style, or even the professor teaching the course. So, always take some time to research any class you're considering. Browse the class syllabus if it's available, read reviews from past students, and consider your own interests and strengths before making your decision. Remember that an 'easy' class you're interested in will probably feel a lot less like work than something you find boring.
