Hey everyone, I'm a Junior who's planning out my class schedule for the upcoming school year. Can anyone shed some light on some of the easiest natural science classes they've taken at Ohio University? Thanks a lot!
Hello there! How your experience with a course ends up really varies from person to person, however, from discussions with Ohio University students, a few classes do commonly come up as being more manageable:
1. BIOS 1030: Human Biology 1 - This class is said to be one of the friendlier introductory biology classes. It covers basic physiology and anatomy, and students have mentioned that the material feels practical and relevant.
2. GEOL 1010: How the Earth Works - This geology class is widely recommended as it provides a high-level view of how earth systems interact. Plus, you can expect a couple of interesting field trips!
3. PBIO 1000: Plants and the Global Environment - This class explores the importance and roles of plants in human culture, so it's less heavily based in hard science than some other options. It strikes a great balance between being informative and not overbearing academically.
4. PHYS 2001: Introduction to Physics - Many have considered this course to be engaging and the subject matter fascinating. Additionally, some may find it less rigorous than traditional physics classes.
Keep in mind that 'ease' in a course often comes from personal interest and prior knowledge, as even if the subject matter is slightly more difficult, if you're motivated and engaged, you're more likely to succeed. Don't hesitate to reach out to advisors, or upperclassmen, for their suggestions on which courses could be a good fit for you. Good luck with your scheduling!
