AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the decision to drop either Globalization or Philosophy and Social Ethics for an easier semester. Participants note that while the workload appears similar based on the syllabi, Globalization may involve slightly more work. The timing of the Philosophy class, scheduled later in the afternoon, adds to the difficulty of the decision. A key point raised is that personal interest in a subject often correlates with perceived difficulty, suggesting that choosing the class one is more passionate about could lead to a more manageable experience.

I want to have an easier semester and I'm thinking about dropping either Globalization or Philosophy and Social Ethics. Which of these classes is usually harder? I know this may vary by professor and the university but in general which of these subjects is more difficult?

Based off the syllabus for both classes, they seem to have the same amount of work. Globalization might have a little more work. The other class is late in the afternoon though so it's tough to decide.
