University of Wisconsin Madison: What's the easiest course there?

Hello all! Looks like I'll probably be attending University of Wisconsin Madison next fall. Just wondering, what are some of the 'easiest' classes to take that you've heard of or experienced?

While taking into consideration courses perceived as "easy" can be a strategic part of establishing a balanced course load in college, it's also important to remember that perceived difficulty is quite subjective, and can vary greatly based on a student's abilities, interests, and existing knowledge base. However, in response to your question, below are a few courses at University of Wisconsin Madison that student feedback often labels as less strenuous, or "GPA boosters."

1. "Coastal Geography" - This seems to be a popular choice, as it combines elements of physical geography with social issues. A lot of students seemed to enjoy the mixture of topics and find the workload manageable.

2. "Environmental Studies: The Humanistic Perspective" - This course is often recommended as an interesting introductory level class that also satisfies the general education requirement for humanities.

3. "Intro to Film" - If you enjoy movies, this might be an interesting class for you. It's designed to improve your appreciation of cinema, and is known for being engaging and fun.

4. "Nutritional Science 132: Nutrition Today" - Often mentioned as a straightforward, informative class. It's relatable to daily life and has practical value.

5. "Counselling Psychology 225: Human Sexuality" - It's reported to be interesting, relatable, and a lighter course load.

Keep in mind, your approach to classes should not wholly revolve around how 'easy' a course is. Look for classes that align with your personal interests or are relevant to your future academic or career goals. These 'easier' courses can be a nice break in a semester with a heavy workload, but they should not be the basis of your academic schedule.
