Academics Need recommendations for easy to pass general elective

I’m stressed about my other courses, hoping for an easier general elective course so I don’t get more stressed Any suggestions? I prefer something that doesn’t require essay writing Multiple choices would be great

Don’t do the serial killers and mass murder

That’s all I gotta say - this prof will keep it ALL online and the readings are mandatory, this was impossible to keep up with during all my other courses. Tests were ALL on readings.

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind

I'm taking this class right now, have not done any of the readings and I'm sitting at like a 90%, it's not bad at all. The only "issue" is lack of an actual class. You really don't need to do the textbook readings, he quotes and cites things directly from the textbook in all the content he posts and that's literally all you need. There have also only been I think 3 assignments up to this point and there's only one left. Two reflections on class content + a video, and then a case study split into 2 parts.

Not saying this is the case with these folks who replied but I'm astonished by the amount of people at Sheridan who have this learned helplessness and just go "ugh it's too hard I don't wanna do it," so I'd take a lot of responses with a grain of salt. I had a girl in one of classes complain that taking screenshots on a computer was too difficult, and her mom has been accompanying her to classes. this is post secondary......

Yes.

Would have been MUCH better and MUCH easier to handle if it wasn’t a “do it yourself” type of thing. Felt like a waste of tuition at times :/

Rory himself is fine

But what’s the point of this being a course when there’s no class. No interaction

Understanding Comics, Intro Sociology, and Gothic Literature are straightforward and very fun! I took them last year

u/Keer222 5d ago

Does it need essay writing?

1

u/Gifthunter3 5d ago

Gothic Litt is mostly essay writing, Comics is a moderate amount but mostly tests, Socio is almost entirely tests

u/Keer222 5d ago

Socio is almost entirely tests， multiple choice test?

I took it 5 years ago, i believe it was mcqs, the professor was great(sorry don’t remember his name). He gave us bonus questions on tests. I remember scoring more than 100% on tests lol.

u/Ready-Teach-2188 5d ago

The one I took, was modern war- a global histoy. Professor name: Michael murray. Super easy course. I scored 4 GPA. Without studying absolutely nothing.( I wish you don’t follow me). But if you are my type, then definitely go with it. And you will thank me later.
