Looking for the easiest science course in college, any ideas?

Okay, so science is not really my thing but I need to complete a requirement. I was wondering if there are any science courses in college that are known to be a bit easier or more basic? I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

You're in luck, as many colleges offer introductory science courses specifically designed for non-science majors. These classes often focus more on the conceptual rather than diving too deep into the technical aspects.

Two of the commonly recommended "easier" science classes are:

1. Astronomy: This subject often seems more approachable for many students because it's visual and offers a broad understanding of the universe without getting too nitty-gritty on the physics end.

2. Introductory Psychology: The science of the mind can be deeply fascinating, and many students find this course relatively manageable since it often involves analyzing everyday behaviors and concepts.

Another smart strategy might be to check out the Environmental Sciences. These courses frequently include a wider array of topics, like a bit of biology, a touch of geology, and mix of weather and climate science, providing you with an overview without delving too much into complex concepts.

Remember though, difficulty is often relative. What one person finds easy, another may find challenging. Other factors can also affect course difficulty, including the professor teaching the course, class size, content delivery, and more. My suggestion would be to research courses, look at class syllabi, and even reach out to the professors to get a feel for what you are signing up for.
