Hi, there! I'm a liberal arts major but I still need to fulfill a science requirement. I'm not super scientifically clued up, so I'm hoping to find an 'easy' science class that I won't struggle too much with. Can anyone provide some guidance? Much appreciated!
Absolutely, happy to help! The course that would be 'easy' often depends on your particular strengths and interests, and the professor teaching the course. However, here are a few relatively non-intensive options that many universities offer and liberal arts majors have found manageable:
1. Astronomy: This is a popular choice. The lectures typically focus on understanding the concepts and theories underlying the way the universe works rather than complex scientific computations. Some even say it's like learning about the universe's storytelling!
2. Human Biology or Anatomy: These classes focus on understanding the human body, which can often be more intuitive to some people because it relates directly to their own experiences.
3. Environmental Science/Studies: These often interdisciplinary courses look at the relationships between people and their environment, exploring topics like climate change, conservation, and sustainability. They can offer a good mix of science and social perspective.
4. Psychology: This can often be classified as a science, and while it is not 'soft', it involves understanding behavior and mental processes, which can be fascinating and less technically demanding than some other fields of science.
Remember to attend the first few classes to see if you enjoy the materials and teaching style before officially registering. Hope this helps!
