University of Ottawa's Most Manageable Courses

I'm applying to the University of Ottawa soon and I'm looking for insights about their easiest classes. It's part of my strategy to maintain a balanced schedule. Can anyone shed some light on this?

While it's great to maintain a balanced schedule, remember that what's 'easy' can vary greatly from one person to another, depending on individual strengths, weaknesses, and interests. For example, one student might breeze through Calculus while another excels in Literature.

That being said, some general insights can be given:

1. PSY 1101 (Introduction to Psychology): This foundational class is typically well-structured, with clear course materials and a mix of objective, multiple-choice exams, making it reasonably manageable for most students. If human behavior and psychology interest you, this could be a smoother sail.

2. CMN 1120 (Written Communication in Music): This course is generally rated as lighter in terms of workload and complexity for students interested in Music. The course explores the basics of writing about music including concert reports, album reviews, biographies of musicians, grant proposals, and press releases.

3. CMN 2135 (Public Speaking): If you're comfortable speaking in public, this can be an 'easy A'. The class teaches you how to assemble speeches and speak effectively in a public setting, and the grades are somewhat subjective and based on your improvement.

4. HIS 1111 (Western Civilization): This course is seen as manageable for students interested in history, providing a broad overview of Western civilization from antiquity to the present. It covers key cultural, economic, social, and political developments.

However, remember the ultimate goal is learning and growing in your skillsets. It's essential to challenge yourself with rigorous courses in your field of study or intended major to prepare for your future career. Take this advice about "easier" classes with a grain of salt; not all "easy" courses are seen as valuable by all employers or graduate programs. Focus on finding a balance between challenge and manageability in classes that are relevant to your studies and career goals.
