Okay, I know this might sound like I'm looking for an easy way out, but bear with me. I've got external commitments and I'm thinking it might be beneficial to study a course in university that's not overly demanding. Any advice on what can be considered 'easy' courses?
Sure, I understand balancing responsibilities can be challenging, and selecting the right course can make a big difference. It's important to remember, though, that the difficulty of a course can be subjective and depends on your strengths, interests, and previous experiences.
Humanities courses like English or History usually have a less intensive workload compared to STEM courses, but this can also depend on the university and professor. Those programs typically involve writing papers and classroom discussions, instead of difficult problem-set style homework or laboratory work. They can allow more flexibility in terms of study schedules and might allow you to better manage your time.
Communications is another field known for having a manageable workload, and it can also lead to a variety of career paths. It can encompass anything from public relations to media studies.
Education could be an option as well, particularly if you enjoy working with others and teaching concepts.
Finally, you might consider Business Administration or Marketing, which tend to be relatively universal and practical, with opportunities for group projects and hands-on learning.
Remember to visit each department's webpage to understand more about the coursework before you make your decision. You might also want to reach out to current students or alumni to get a sense of what the workload is like. Keep in mind that the 'easiest' course will be one that you are genuinely interested in and motivated to study. Passion for a subject can often make the workload feel less heavy!
