Hey there guys, I'm trying to make the best of my time at Bergen Community. As a part-time student, I don't have a lot of time for super tough classes. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with 'easier' courses (while being educationally beneficial) at this college?
While I would advise not to focus solely on an "easy" workload but rather on the value and relevance of the courses to your future academic or career goals, I understand the need to manage your time effectively as a part-time student. Here are a few options that past students have found manageable and enriching:
1. Introduction to Sociology- Provides valuable insights into societal structures and social behavior, which could be helpful regardless of your major or career path. It’s generally considered not as difficult as some other science or humanities courses.
2. Music Appreciation- This course can make for a gentle introduction to the fine arts if you are not typically inclined towards this field. It might not be as demanding as some other courses, and it can also enrich your understanding and appreciation of music.
3. Public Speaking- This class may require some effort, as you'll need to prepare and present speeches, but it can significantly improve your communication skills and confidence, which are crucial in any field.
Do keep in mind that 'easier' is subjective and largely depends on where your interests and strengths lie. So, it would be worthwhile to explore the course descriptions and perhaps speak with an academic advisor to better comprehend what each course entails. While managing your workload is essential, try to find courses that align with your long-term goals and interest you sufficiently to make the learning experience enjoyable and beneficial.
