Hi guys! I'm starting at Chabot College next year, pretty excited but also feeling slightly overwhelmed. I thought it’d be a good idea to mix some relatively easier courses into my schedule to ensure I don’t get too swamped. Can anyone suggest some?
Absolutely, it's smart to balance your workload, especially when you're adjusting to a new setting.
However, remember that the concept of 'easy' can vary significantly from person to person, mainly due to differences in individual interest and aptitude. What might be easy for one student might be difficult for another.
That said, it's generally suggested to look for introductory courses or general education requirements that align with your strengths and interests. If you're humanities-oriented, an Introduction to Literature or an introductory philosophy class might be relatively easier for you. On the other hand, if you love numbers and logic, you may find an introductory statistics or computer science class to be more manageable.
Also, look for seminars or special topics classes that align with your interests - these are typically designed to encourage participation and engagement, and you might find them easier if you are genuinely interested in the subject matter.
Remember to check the professor's reviews online, they can be a determining factor in how 'easy' or 'difficult' a course is. An engaging professor can make a tough subject less intimidating!
However, keep in mind that college is also an opportunity to challenge yourself, learn new things, and develop your abilities further. Choosing too many easy classes may not help you grow acadically. It's about finding the right balance. Good luck with your academic journey at Chabot College!
