Hey, guys, needing a bit of advice here. I've been looking at the University of Iowa, and I'm trying to figure out my possible class schedule. Could any of you tell me about the general education classes at UI, particularly which ones you found the easiest? Thank you!
Hello! Sure, let's talk about some of the courses that students at the University of Iowa often mention as being relatively manageable. Remember that the "ease" of a class can be subjective and might depend on your personal interests and strengths, so keep that in mind while selecting these classes.
The class titled "Interpretation of Literature" (ENGL:1200) comes up frequently as a gen ed course that is not too strenuous, if you enjoy reading and discussing literature.
Another course is "Elementary Psychology" (PSY:1001), this class is known for its engaging content and manageable workload, if you have interest in understanding human behavior and mental processes.
The "Fundamentals of Public Speaking" (RHET:1060) is also a class that students have found to be clear and straightforward, especially if you enjoy public speaking or want to build this skill.
Lastly, the "Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe" (ASTR:1070) course is often recommended for those students interested in astronomy. It's seen as quite fascinating and not too labor-intensive.
Again, everyone's experience could differ depending on their personal strengths and the professor they get, but these are a few classes known to be on the less stressful side at the University of Iowa. I hope this helps in planning your schedule!
