Gotta Know: Easiest courses at my university?

Is there a general list of university courses that are considered 'easy'? I want to make sure I balance my schedule effectively and it would be helpful to know which courses are perceived as less demanding.

While the concept of "easy" courses can be quite subjective and varies from university to university, there are typically a few strategies you can use to find classes that might be less demanding at your school. Here's what you can do:

1. Connect with peers: Talking with your fellow students who have already taken a variety of classes in different departments can provide valuable insights. For example, intro-level or survey courses may tend to be less demanding than upper-level courses.

2. Online Forums: There are online student forums where students often discuss the difficulty level of various courses. While these discussions may provide some insights, remember that different students may find different subjects difficult based on their interests and skill sets.

3. Course Descriptions: Course descriptions can provide valuable insights. Look for courses labeled as introductory, fundamental, or basic - these tend to have a broader focus and are sometimes less demanding than specialized courses.

4. Feedback: If possible, ask for feedback from previous students or check out past course evaluations if your university offers them.

Remember, no matter which class you choose to take, what matters ultimately is your interest in the subject because passion can often mitigate a considerable amount of workload.

Lastly, high-demand classes may be more lenient in grading so as to accommodate a larger class size, but this is not always the case, so take this into account with a grain of salt.

Here's an example—one often cited "easier" class at many universities is "Introduction to Psychology." As an introductory class, it covers a wide breadth of information at a high level, which can be easier to handle than in-depth, specialized classes. However, remember that this might not be everyone's experience, and always do your own research based on your personal interests and skills.
