Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone's taken any easy natural science courses at University of Iowa that you'd recommend? I'm a junior who's majoring in English, so my natural science knowledge isn't exactly top-notch. Sadly, a natural science course is a gen-ed requirement.
Sure, I can provide a couple of suggestions on natural science courses which are geared more towards non-science majors and usually have a more general focus.
1. "Evening Star" (ASTR:1030) could be a good fit for you. It provides a broad understanding of the universe including the motion of celestial bodies, the nature of stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the evolution of these structures. The best part - it's generally considered to be less rigorous and won't require any complex mathematics.
3. "Intro to Environmental Science" (EES:1080) is another popular class. It provides an overview of environmental science and the human impact on the environment.
Remember that 'easy' can be relative. What one student finds easy or interesting might be challenging for another. It's always a good idea to attend the first class or two to get a sense of whether it would fit your interests and academic strength. You can also look up the syllabi of these classes or talk to an academic advisor to have an understanding before enrolling into these classes.
