Hey you guys, I need to take a Physical Science class at the University of Minnesota next year. Problem is, science is not my strongest subject, to put it mildly. Can anyone suggest the simplest or easiest physical science class at UMN?
Noted your hesitation with science classes - it's a common sentiment for students with varied academic strengths, so you're definitely not alone. At the University of Minnesota, consider checking out PHYS 1001W: Energy and the Environment as a potential physical science course.
Based on feedback from many peers, it is centered on real-world applications of physical science concepts, which could be very helpful in making the content more accessible, engaging and understandable. It covers topics like energy sources, energy conservation, climate change, and the physics of transportation.
This course is designed for non-science majors and fulfills your liberal education requirement for physical science and the lab, which may be convenient. However, remember that "easier" can be relatively subjective, depending on your individual interests and style of learning. Good luck with your class selection process!
