I'm excited to join Albany State University coming fall, but I'm wondering if there are any 'lighter' courses that I can take alongside my major subjects? Can anyone offer any recommendations?
It's great to hear that you're going to be joining Albany State University next fall and planning your course load in advance! Lighter or easier courses can vary per person depending on their interests and strengths, but I can suggest a few that students often consider for fulfilling general education requirements while providing some relief from tougher major coursework.
1. ART 1101: Art Appreciation - This course offers a broad overview of visual art forms with a focus on comprehension, appreciation, and enjoyment. It involves understanding different types of art mediums and may require attending art exhibits or watching art films. It's often considered enjoyable and engaging.
2. MUSC 1101: Music Appreciation - If you're a music lover, this course can be a great way to earn credits while discussing and listening to a range of musical genres from classical compositions to jazz, rock, and pop.
3. THEA 1100: Theater Appreciation – This course is structured around the various aspects of theatrical arts such as acting, directing, designing, and writing. Besides, you might get the chance to watch several plays, which makes it engaging.
4. Any introductory level foreign language course can be fun too, like Spanish 101 or French 101, especially if you've been wanting to learn a new language.
Just a quick note: While these are typically considered lighter courses, don't take them for granted. They still require effort and engagement to succeed. Balance is key in choosing your course load each semester. Good luck with your academic journey at Albany State University!
