What's the easiest life science class in college?

Hello everyone, I'm a junior mapping out my potential college schedule and I realized I'll have to take a life science class. I'm not particularly science-oriented, so I was wondering which life science classes are the easiest to handle?

You might want to consider something like a general biology course or an introductory environmental science class. Both of these, depending on the university, tend not to be as heavy in lab work as some other life science courses, which can make them more manageable if you're not a big science fan.

Another potentially less intense option could be Human Biology or Anatomy. These courses often contain a focus on the human body, its organs, and how they function which many students find more relatable and easier to understand because of its real-world application.

Do keep in mind though this might vary depending on the institution and professor teaching the class – one professor’s class may be significantly harder or easier than another's even for the same subject. I would advise looking up the professor and course reviews at your given university once you've enrolled.

And remember while it may be tempting to pursue "easy" classes, also consider what class might be engaging for you, as having genuine interest in a course could naturally lead to better performance in it. Good luck with your course planning!
