<p>I will be a freshman at FSU in the fall. As a business major I am required to take 7 natural science credits, which sucks because I have almost zero interest in science. I did alright in my science classes but never great, and I thought they were all pretty boring.</p>
<p>I simply want to fulfill the natural science requirement as pain-free as possible, without causing myself too many issues. What science classes at FSU are generally considered the easiest? Some people have told me that Dynamic Earth (GLY 1000) is pretty easy, and others have said intro biology and astronomy courses are pretty easy too.</p>
<p>I am also taking Dynamic Earth in the Fall because it just seemed to be the easiest for a non major student to take. I have heard mixed reviews about the astronomy classes because they can either be super easy or ridiculously hard depending on the professor. Another easy class to take for natural science would be general biology for non majors.</p>
<p>Depending on which Geology professor (or TA) gets to teach Dynamic Earth, it’ll either be a really good choice for a simple natural science course or it’ll be really difficult. Unfortunately none of the professors for Fall are listed yet, so I can’t help you there.</p>
<p>“Baby Bio” BSC1005 is widely regarded as being a pretty easy class for non science people. There’s a reason that it’s so popular that they have literally thousands of seats in the class each semester. </p>
<p>If you won’t have credit to satisfy the lab class that you’ll need, I can’t really recommend any of the geology class labs. They can get really time consuming for no reason. In that case, I’d recommend doing the BSC1005 + Lab route instead, although I’m sure that it can get pretty time consuming as well. </p>
<p>I would avoid Astronomy at all costs. A friend of mine took it as filler this past year (don’t remember which semester) and I know that he hated it. I believe there’s a couple lab meetings that are really late at night, too (for obvious reasons), so that is something to consider too. </p>
<p>I’m biased, but any of the 1000 level Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science department courses are good picks for natural sciences. GLY1000 or MET1010 if you need a lab, OCE1001 if you don’t. Assuming those count as natural sciences- I honestly don’t remember any of the classes that count. </p>
<p>Do yourself a favor though, if you just need a filler class, avoid anything in Chemistry. Those aren’t easy classes and you will likely end up really hating the class. </p>
