I'm an art major at the University of the Cumberlands and I need to take a science lab class. Science isn't my strong suit, so I'm hoping to find an easier lab class that won't mess up my GPA. Any suggestions?
A possible class you may be interested in Principles of Biology. This course provides an overview broad overview of biology, including cell biology, genetics, and evolution. Moreover, it generally takes on a less intense focus in comparison to other science lab courses.
Another option is Introduction to Environmental Science. This class focuses on the principles, concepts, and methodologies used in environmental science, so it's a bit less lab-heavy than a typical chemistry or physics class. This could potentially be easier to handle for someone who's comfortable in disciplines that aren't lab intensive.
However, remember that what might be easy for one student might still be challenging for another. It can help to consider factors like the relevance of the class material to your own interests, the teaching style of the professor, and the format of the class assessments when deciding a course.
Regardless of the course you choose, make the most of resources like study groups, office hours, and tutoring services to help maintain your GPA. Always read reviews about the class and the professor before enrolling. Remember, your mindset going into the class can also make a big difference in your experience with it.
