I'm a student at the University of South Dakota looking for an 'easy A'. What are some electives you guys would suggest? Just trying to lighten up my course load next semester. #LifeIsStressful
If you're looking for a relatively "easy A" elective, you might take a look at COMM 101: Introduction to Communication. I've heard from several students that this course is quite approachable and that the lectures are engaging. Plus, the skills you learn in this class could be useful in any field—be it furthering your academic development or bolstering your professional skills.
Another potential class to consider is KIN 100: Wellness. This class focuses on personal health and wellness—topics many students find inherently interesting. Reports suggest it's not too strenuous academically, and you could end up learning some useful life skills.
Finally, consider PHIL 100: Introduction to Philosophy. Not only does this class provide you with a broad understanding of different philosophical perspectives, but it also helps in developing critical thinking skills.
Of course, the definition of an "easy" class can depend on your specific talents and interests. So I always recommend that students pick electives that align with their personal interests and study style.
