G'morning folks! I am a non-science major and I need to fulfill some science requirements. Any recommendations on 'easier' science classes that won't wreck my GPA but will still teach me some cool stuff?
Hello! When it comes to selecting 'easier' yet fulfilling science classes, it largely depends on what your college offers and your personal interests, as courses and their difficulty level can vary from school to school. But I do have a few general suggestions.
1. Introduction to Environmental Science: These courses typically cover fundamental concepts about our environment and the various energy processes within it. You'll learn about topics like the water cycle, global warming, and preservation efforts, which are approachable and relevant for non-science majors.
2. Astronomy: If you're the type who's fascinated by the stars, planets, and galaxies, astronomy can be an appealing choice. Basic astronomy courses usually don't get too technical, and they can give you a whole new perspective on the universe.
3. Food Science or Nutrition: These courses are often very hands-on and directly relate to our daily lives. They focus on the science behind what we eat, and the impact nutrition can have on human health.
4. Physical Education or Fitness Science: Some colleges count these classes as science credits, and they are usually pretty manageable. Plus, it's a good way to stay active!
5. Psychology or Sociology: These are considered social science courses and may count toward science requirements. They require a different style of thinking compared to traditional natural science courses but can be quite interesting and less intensive in terms of lab work.
Just remember to read the course descriptions and check student reviews before you decide. And don't hesitate to reach out to the professor teaching the course. They can provide you with more insights on what to expect from the class, aiding you in making an informed decision. Good luck finding the perfect science class to suit your needs!
