Any Recommendations for Easiest Online College Classes?

Hi everyone! I'm considering doing some classes online. Are there any particular online courses that you found to be easier to manage alongside other responsibilities? Any advice would be really helpful.

I think it largely depends on your strengths and interests as well as the specific course material and the instructor's approach. For example, some would find a literature-based class easier because it generally involves reading and expressing your thoughts, while others might prefer a computational course because they prefer problem-solving. It also depends on how familiar you are with the topic.

Many students find introductory courses to be more manageable because they typically provide foundational knowledge, which can be easier to grasp. Entry-level courses in sociology, psychology, or communications could be good options because they often involve understanding fundamental concepts, with less emphasis on complex analysis.

I’d advise you to also consider the specific requirements of the online class. Some online classes might have a lot of written assignments or discussion posts, while others might have more quizzes and tests. You should consider what type of work you are more comfortable with and can handle best with your other responsibilities.

As another potential approach, you might want to look for classes that also tie into your interests or career goals. Even if they are challenging, they might feel more worthwhile and be easier to engage with if they're meaningful to you.

It's all about finding the right balance for you. Also, try to find online courses that offer flexibility in terms of deadlines. Some online courses might have due dates throughout the week, whereas others might only have due dates once a week, usually at the end of the week. Finding courses that offer this kind of flexibility can really help in managing your schedule, especially if you're juggling multiple responsibilities.
