<p>Not philosophy. And I don’t know about history either; mine was relatively easy but many of my friends dropped theirs because the work was too much / too hard.
It just depends on what comes naturally for you and what you enjoy.</p>
<p>Yeah, Philosophy is really an underrated discipline that “seems” simple. Philosophy is anything but simple, but I will tell you that the subject is BS-able, if that makes any sense to you.</p>
<p>If you’re smart and lazy, then philosophy is an excellent choice. Usually just a couple short, easy papers and a midterm/final. No problem sets. No real studying. Just go to lecture and listen. You need solid logic skills though.</p>
<p>Personally, I found low-level psych courses to be the easiest. Philosophy, history, and religion all have the potential to be very difficult, actually.</p>
<p>It all depends on if your professor is a sadist or not. Some teachers give out A’s like they’re candy on halloween. Others challenge the WHOLE class, and only the top students get As. What I recommend to you is to sit on it and wait for friends to complete some liberal arts courses, and learn which teachers are sadists and which ones are givers.</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought econ was pretty straight forward. Pretty much all we were doing was reading graphs and having to make qualitative assessments on the steepness of lines.</p>
<p>I took a geography course last year and the lab for it was actually kind of hard. I got an A but I usually had to stay after every lab to keep working. If I were a math/science person it might have been easier, though.</p>
<p>Philosophy is easy if you’re not religious, which proves that you are at least logical enough to ace the class. Philo and Econ are both intuitive and easy to cram. History, on the other hand, requires you to read the a book.</p>
<p>Hi and hope you’re doing well!
For this, I think you might need to consider other factors other than reading/writing. Take philosophy for instance - you might expect long hours discussing remote topics, so brainpower and mind-endurance might be necessary. (And precisely because it is mostly debating and is rather distantly related to most jobs of today, finding a job with a Philosophy degree might be difficult.) History - yes, there’s writing and reading, but it will depend on whether you enjoy the subject or not. In fact, I think your interests play a big role in this situation - choose the one that you think you might enjoy the most. </p>
<p>P.S. I honestly did not know they taught religion in college - but if you do take it or whatever other course you choose, good luck! I wish you the best.</p>
<p>I found philosophy really difficult, but it all depends on the professor. </p>
<p>My boyfriend is a complete non-liberal arts person (engineering major) and is finding a survey course on world religions to be really easy. History and English, on the other hand were a little tougher.</p>
<p>History and philosophy, btw, will most likely require a lot of reading/writing.</p>
