Applying to colleges and checking out Colorado State University Global now. I'm curious, are there any classes there that aren't too hardcore? You know, to balance out the tougher ones and all that.
The level of difficulty for a course can vary greatly depending upon the student's prior knowledge, academic abilities, and the effort they put into the course. It's also important to remember that the difficulty can change depending upon the professor teaching the course.
That being said, it can be beneficial to balance out your schedule, incorporating both more challenging and less demanding courses within your schedule. To understand which classes might be relatively easier, you could pick classes in fields where you already have a solid background or natural inclination.
As a starting point, you could consider elective classes like "Intro to Visual Art" or "Music Appreciation" which are often seen as less demanding while providing a good introduction to an interesting field. If you enjoy reading and writing, courses in literature like "Intro to Literary Studies" might be an enjoyable respite from harder courses.
Check out the course catalog or syllabi to get an idea of the workload and topics covered. An even better approach might be to connect with current or former students; they can provide firsthand insights into the course demands, and you can ask them about specific courses or professors.
Ultimately, it's all about creating a balance that works best for you. It's always a plus if the "easier" classes also contribute to your overall educational objectives, either by fulfilling general education requirements or complementing your major coursework.
