Hey Canes! I will be starting college in the fall at the University of Miami, and I need some ideas for easier electives for my first semester. Any recommendations?
Hello! When it comes to electives at UM, many students have found a few departments to be manageable and enjoyable. Courses on wellness in the Physical Therapy department are often recommended. These courses cover various aspects of wellness – emotional, physical, and social. Students have said that these courses touch on important and relevant topics, it's not overwhelmingly hard. Another discipline to consider are courses in the Cinematic Arts department. You can learn to make simple circuits to some engaging hands-on projects, all while the coursework remains manageable.
Communication courses in the English Composition and Communication Skills department offer classes that get good feedback. You learn the fundamental aspects of communication.
But remember, everyone's abilities and interests are different, so you might find a subject easy that others find hard, and vice versa. Always check syllabuses, professor reviews, and consult academic advisors before making your final decisions. Good luck!
