Easiest University Subjects?

So, I'm working out my university schedule for next year and I need your help. Are there specific courses in university that are generally considered easier than others?

The perception of a course as 'easy' or 'hard' can often vary depending on a student's individual skill set, interest, existing knowledge, and the effort they're willing to invest in their studies. What might be considered 'easy' for one may be a challenge for another, so it's essential to evaluate this based on your personal strengths and weaknesses.

That said, there might be some general trends to look out for. If you are more of an analytical and rational thinker, you might find some math or computer science classes to be simpler than perhaps a philosophy or literature class, where there is more interpretation and less definite answers. If you're more into creativity and ideas, you might find subjects like art or music history easier, especially if you have a passion for those subjects.

Another important factor could be the course structure itself. Some courses could require rote memorization while others might demand a more conceptual understanding or critical thinking. Consider your preferred learning style and seek out classes that align with it.

Perhaps most importantly, make sure you're still meeting your degree requirements. Try to strike a balance between fulfillment of these and lighter workload classes if needed.

Remember, University is an opportunity to grow and challenge yourself acadically, as well as personally. It might be more beneficial to choose subjects that keenly interest you, rather than pursuing those perceived as 'easy'. Passion often drives engagement, making a so-called 'difficult' course much easier to manage.
