The nice thing about study abroad, too, is that you have more flexibility in course topics that you choose to take. Even though I am a double major in Political Science and Global Studies, I am not limited to courses pertaining to my majors. I only have one course here that is fulfilling a major requirement for my degree, a history course titled The American Century: US Policy in Western Europe. In addition to the mandatory Spanish course, I get to take more cultural classes like Food as an Expression of Culture and Cross Cultural Psychology. I am also taking a class covering a topic of personal interest, which is Crime, Disorder, Policing and Justice: Spanish and European Perspectives. I have other friends who are also Political Science majors that are taking very different classes like Storytelling or Fashion Design! I would encourage other students who are planning on studying abroad to save their general education requirements to fulfill during their time abroad. Take a break from your major requirements and enjoy learning about cultures or other topics that fascinate you!

Hi, my name is Sanny Yang. I am a senior at Hope College (Holland, MI) studying Political Science and Global Studies. I was born in South Korea but mostly grew up in Lilongwe, Malawi. I am excited to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain and to share this journey with you!

My junior year, one of my closest friends and I discussed our winter plans at the dinner table. I mentioned the possibility of taking an online course to complete a graduation requirement and relieve some of my academic coursework during the spring semester.

He also mentioned that he, a biology major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was taking an Introduction to Economics course during the winter session. When I asked about his anomalous course choice, he mentioned it was to hopefully experience a relatively easy course and earn a GPA boost.

Another one of my closest friends, a pre-law student majoring in mathematics, dropped an honors math course she was taking, not because the course was overly difficult or because the curriculum or teaching style was poor, but because she was afraid of earning the median, which she guessed would be an A- or A.

The course did not fail to meet expectations. I pulled a few all-nighters working on problem sets. And I did earn a lower grade than I desired. But the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks. I learned how to better ask for help and collaborate with my peers. I made lots of friends and ended up developing an unexpected passion for chemistry.

Less than a week after Cornell unexpectedly cancelled all instruction until April 6, the University has finished ironing out details for how the academic calendar will be structured following spring break.

great question, you looking to get clear of the 150 unit hurdle? I am in the same boat once I pass FAR in December, will need about 4 random classes plus the ethic class. Already have the accounting requisites covered, just need BS classes to fill the unit requirement. I have been looking for the fastest way to get units. Unfortunately CLEP doesnt seem like an option for me since I already have my degree.

The Daily Pennsylvanian's list of interesting classes with low difficulty ratings include 'ANTH 1238: Introduction to Medical Anthropology', 'ITAL 1900: Italian History on Screen: How Movies Tell the Story of Italy', and 'ENGL 0755: Listening in Trying Times'.

With a 1.90 difficulty on Penn Course Review, it fulfills both the Cross-Cultural Analysis and Arts and Letters requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is cross-listed with the Cinema and Media Studies Department, and will be held from 1:45 - 3:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This class will be taught by Matthew Neff and is an introduction to studio-based art practices. It will include numerous multi-disciplinary projects, and will include visiting lectures and field trips. It has a Penn Course review difficulty level of 1.44.

This course, which is taught by Daud Ali, is cross listed between both the South Asian Studies and History departments. It will focus on Indian history from the 16th through 21st centuries and multiple themes, including trade between India and the West in the 17th century, the creation of the Indian middle class, and India's nuclearization.

The course will be taught from 12 - 1:29 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. It has a difficulty rating of 2.02 and counts for both the Cross Cultural Analysis and History & Tradition College requirements.

I have been attending a community college for the past year and am close to finishing my prerequisites. That being said, I find my A&PI class very easy... I put a good amount of time in each week (About 20 hours) for studying and end up averaging 97% on my tests. I have talked to my wife about this and she said when she took A&P that she had to know a lot more and do a lot more than me. I am taking quarter credits so the classes are only 11 weeks long, which could be the reason we aren't taught as much. I guess Im a little worried that I am not going to be prepared for nursing school if im not being taught A&P at the same level most everyone else is being taught at. Our tests are 50 questions, all multiple choice, and includes roughly 3-5 extra credit questions at the end. We don't have any homework in the class, just the 5 tests for each system in A&P1. My questions to you all are:

I did not find anatomy easy; however, it wasn't unbearable. It is heavy on memorization, so if you are great at that, it may feel easier. My physiology class by far was the most difficult. I considered physio my thinking class; Simply memorizing facts does not work (at least not at my school). I understand you may be concerned they aren't properly preparing you, but maybe memorization is just something that comes easily to you!

I didn't find A&P to be as hard as many people make it out to be. I had a solid background in the sciences, was working in healthcare, and am a very self-motivated learner - I found the coursework to be a lot of fun and more time consuming rather than purely difficult. It may just be a subject that comes easy to you or that you already have well ingrained study habits that work for you. I think that my classmates who struggled the most didn't have a good understanding of how they best learned and what study habits would be most beneficial to their understanding.

Anatomy is not a conceptually difficult class, It's hard due to all the information that must be memorized. If you are studying 20 hours a week for one class, then (IMHO) it is not an "easy" class. Easy would be running through your notes for a few hours before a test and getting 97%. Sounds like you know what it takes to get an "A" so keep it up!

I always thought A&P was easy when i took those courses. In all honesty you could slide through that series with A's just by memorization of the systems and knowing the models by heart. Its not necessarily application of the material but just straight up knowing the answer to the question instead

It really depends on the professor. My AP 1 professor was very good, although his practicals he went a bit overboard on, but otherwise it was a decent class because of the way he explained the material. My 2nd AP, the professor is the polar opposite, has had horrible reviews on rating sites and they seem justified.

You should be studying about 1.5-2.5 hours per credit hour. So if your class is 3 hours long and meets 2 times per week you should study 9-15 hours. "For high school students, the positive line continues to climb until between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours of homework a night, after which returns diminish (Cooper, 1989; Cooper, Robinson, & Patall, 2006)". So it does not truly matter how much she had to do per week. She could have put in 40 hours, and it would have similar results to your 20.

It's impossible to say if you are being taught everything you should be taught without actually seeing your rubric and the books you are using. If you school is accredited then you most likely are being taught the same things as everyone else.

Anatomy can be difficult, but easy to manage. I know the first time I took anatomy the teacher I had went into a lot of information, and I just felt overwhelmed. Now I'm taking anatomy and physiology one and to me it is very easy! I guess splitting the class into two separate parts makes it easier.

I believe how difficult HA&P is depends a lot on one's professor. Some will want you to know every little detail, and some will tell you specifically what to concentrate on. Luckily for me, my professor was the latter type. Most of the exam info came from the provided notes/slides. You studied/memorized those, you were golden.

I started getting into WvW recently. And I've been taking a relentless beating so far. I want to join a WvW guild, and learn the big concepts and strategies of this game mode. But I've tried a daredevil and deadeye so far. And I'm just NOT at the level of these folks I'm fighting.

I have a Firebrand with minstrel/healing gear that I haven't used yet. And I'm working on a scourge as well. But I'd be willing to roll whatever class. What class would be able to contribute well to zerg battles, and be the most braindead/easy to play?

Sounds like you already have the meta build for a firebrand, so I would roll with that. Best thing for someone new like you is to get into voice coms, and just learn that way. Just one tip, if you jump into voice coms during fighting, keep the questions at a minimum. People are more than willing to help, but you need to keep coms clear when the commander is making calls.

And you will for a while regardless what class or build you play.Even Scourge will get eaten alive as a newbie. Right now you are probably just learning positioning and avoiding the big bombs.Thief will be a very rough first roll in WvW because it's best role is not in a group but roaming.Scourge can be easy to play, but then so can Rev and Warrior. So can Guardian/Firebrand.But you're going to get your butt handed to you for a bit until you figure out the basics.Pick whatever you feel most comfortable with to start.
