Hi guys, I'm attending Suffolk Community College and I'm on the lookout for a lighter English elective. Does anyone have any suggestions on which ones are considered the easiest? I'd really appreciate the help.
Certainly, it's always nice to add a course in your schedule that won't cause as much academic pressure. That said, it's worth noting that perceived difficulty can be somewhat subjective and depend on individual interests, skills, and the professor teaching the course.
That being said, some arguably lighter English electives that many students find enjoyable at various institutions including Suffolk Community College often include courses like Introduction to Literature or Creative Writing. These courses typically focus more on discussion and creativity, which some students find less stressful than more analytically challenging courses.
Additionally, courses on specific forms or periods of literature, like Modern Short Stories or Romantic-era Literature, can often be slightly easier if you already have a genuine interest in these topics.
Once you have a shortlist of courses, it could be useful to look up course reviews or try to get an idea of the professors' teaching style and course requirements, as these factors can greatly influence your overall experience.
Finally, remember to select an elective that not only seems more relaxed, but also one that you have some interest in. It can make your learning experience more enjoyable and studying or doing homework for the course seem less tedious.
