SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying easy college classes to help boost GPA alongside more challenging science and math courses. Participants recommend classes such as Intro to Health & Phys Ed (HPED 252), Careers in Sports Medicine (ATTR 101), and Intro to American Business (BSAD 101). Additionally, liberal arts courses like psychology, history, and political science are noted for their relative ease, especially if they are introductory classes. The difficulty of a course can vary significantly based on personal interest and the instructor's teaching style.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of GPA calculation and academic performance metrics
  • Familiarity with college course structures and requirements
  • Knowledge of liberal arts subjects and their typical content
  • Awareness of the impact of instructor variability on course difficulty
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the syllabus and grading criteria for HPED 252 and ATTR 101
  • Explore introductory courses in psychology and political science
  • Investigate student reviews of specific instructors for liberal arts classes
  • Learn about effective study techniques for introductory college courses
USEFUL FOR

Students seeking to improve their GPA, academic advisors, and anyone interested in selecting manageable college courses to balance their workload.

May sound bad, and I'm sorry if it does, but I want to boost my GPA with some easy classes in addition to my sciences and maths (FINALLY decided to take that required science major biology... ugh)

So far I have
Intro to Health & Phys Ed HPED 252
Careers in Sports Medicine ATTR 101
Intro to American Business BSAD 101

Any other suggestions?

An easy class at one school could be a bear at another...or even within the same school, from different instructors!

But generally, your interest in the subject is probably the biggest driver. Some of my easiest classes were field ornithology. But for someone who doesn't care much for birds, getting up at 4:00 am (on Saturday, no less!), memorizing bird names and bird calls, walking miles and miles sometimes for nothing...all that could probably make ornithology their worst class, ever.
 
What's easy is different for different people ... historically, I have done worse in bird (not lisab birds but I meant easy :smile:) courses.
 
It wad called "signal processing". I did not choose it, it was mandatory in my school. If you are good at maths, it's a piece of cake.
 
The easy classes seem hard because they are so easy you put off reading them and view them as a waste of time. In any case, most liberal arts classes, i.e. psychology, history, political science, etc..., are all easy classes. IF it is an introduction class, expect to get an A if you read the materials assigned each week.
 
A lot of it depends on the instructor. My health class is a joke. Intro to music was easy but that's because I already knew the material.
