<p>I need one lab course to fulfill my IGETC requirement...but I need help choosing one. I am horrible at anything that has to do with science, and I desperately need to keep my GPA up, so can anyone recommend me a lab course that is pretty easy? Keep in mind, I am not good at science...</p>
<p>there's Astronomy, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Physics, Anatomy, Anthropology, Botany, Microbiology, Physiology, Psychology or Zoology</p>
<p>please help me choose...thanks =)</p>
<p>Take an introductory, introductory, introductory chemistry course. I'm not sure which ccc you attend, however, do NOT take the more "rigorous" 5 unit introductory chemistry course. Take the basic "refresher" course that comes with a lab. For my school, it is labeled, Chemistry 3, it's a 4 unit course, 1 lab a week (as opposed to two labs for the more chem course for science majors).</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I agree--you should take the lowest, lowest chemistry course available. For example, at SMC, the course is called "Everyday Chemistry", CHEM 9. There is also a course called "Introductory General Chemistry", CHEM 10, which is to set students on the correct course track to take the upper level chemistry courses. Take the latter. Let us look at the two course descriptions.</p>
<p>CHEM 9: This course serves to fulfill the general education requirements for a laboratory science course. Students who successfully complete this course will understand basic chemical principles and how these principles relate to the world around them. They will also learn various lab techniques, including the safe handling of chemicals and the proper use of laboratory equipment. </p>
<p>CHEM 10: This is an introductory laboratory course. It introduces principles, laws, and nomenclature of inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Chemistry 10 prepares students to take the General Chemistry sequence (Chemistry 11 and Chemistry 12). It additionally serves as a basic chemistry course for the allied health majors (such as nursing and physiology). It also serves to fulfill general education requirements. Students who successfully complete this course will understand basic chemical principles and will have practiced quantitative reasoning and problem solving skills. Students will also have learned various lab techniques, including the safe and competent handling of chemicals and laboratory equipment. </p>
<p>I think you understand the difference. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Anthropology lab was the easiest class I've taken. It's not a lot of experiement stuff and is basically about evolution, it's interesting and kinda fun.</p>
<p>I took botany at my CC. Easy stuff...</p>
<p>Introductory Astronomy is ridiculously easy. Because it requires so much math, chemistry, and physics to get into astronomy at any level of depth, an intro to astronomy course will basically consist of memorizing sizes, because you'll never actually have to do a single computation.</p>
<p>If you're not a science type go ahead and take anthro. I don't know why two people in this thread told you to take chem, regardless of the level. Maybe they are trying to punk you. Only take chem if it is a last resort.</p>
<p>Geology has got to have the easiest lab class. If you're in Los Angeles, my current teacher is offering her class during the month of January for winter break. assuming you take both geology and the lab that's 5 units right there altogether. She's really good at what she does, and the lab is literally easy. The only way you can receive a grade of B or lower is if you don't show up to class. Usually she allows us to double check our results so that we always score A's on the labs.</p>
<p>Physical Anthropology for sure....all you have to do is punnet squares and basic evolution! Easiest class of my life.</p>
<p>liek, are you talking about Boyle?</p>
<p>lol yeah. do you have her? I love her. I'm so glad I took her class.</p>
