<p>hmmm… easy as in not much work, or doesn’t require much depth? some requires a lot of work, but it’s mainly busy work. and some doesn’t have much work, but the work is very difficult that you’ll need time to go over it. but so far, it seems like english teachers try to be really nice when grading, thus making it seem like you can get good grades even if you don’t do too much. but i wouldn’t say the novels we read are easy.</p>
<p>early childhood education AKA “i’m majoring in the ABC’s”</p>
<p>but i don’t really know because i’ve never taken a class in that.</p>

<p>Social work is not easy… Tons of practice courses, which assess your ability to do intake interviewing, taped supervision, practica work, assessment writing, etc., plus a notoriously difficult compentency exam regard before graduation.</p>
<p>Psych can be easy or hard, depending on the courses you take and your level of effort…</p>

<p>yea… everyone can take care of 10-15 3 year olds in one classroom. That job is so relaxing…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just because a job is hard doesn’t mean the major would necessarily be hard. Being a construction worker is tough, but that doesn’t mean the education required would be unusually rigorous.</p>

<p>Okay, tell me what major hormones are present in greater amounts in children than adults. </p>
<p>Also tell me why children acquire languages more efficiently than their adult immigrant parents.</p>
<p>How do you think children acquire grammar? Do you think adults “teach” them? </p>
<p>Do you know the mechanism in which children spontaneously generate full-fledged creolised languages from substrata, including sign language, with its own grammars and inflections, that adult learners fumble with? </p>
<p>Do you think children are born completely tabula rasa? </p>
<p>Why can’t adults have the same neuroplasticity as children?</p>
<p>You’re welcome, HisGrace. I love psychology as a subject but was incredibly dissapointed in my school’s program</p>
<p>Based on the GE courses I surveyed, I’d say psych and especially ‘anything’ arts. I didn’t really do anything for psych and still got the second highest grade( which is an A) in that class. To be fair, some people really failed that class. But for theater arts, not only did I get an A by not studying, so did everyone else. So I guess I was actually average in that class lol. I think the guy that never showed up for anything other than the exams or studied got a B. </p>
<p>These are just intro courses though. To get the real dirt, you’ll have to observe the amount of free time of your friends in these fields.</p>
<p>kinesiology</p>
<p>Hmmm but let me point out that the OP was basically asking for assumptions and generalizations in the first place.</p>
<p>I don’t know what I was asking anymore, but hey, look what I started =P</p>
<p>Elementary Education</p>
<p>When I think of easy I think sociology or education.</p>
<p>Chemical engineering is very easy.</p>
<p>Fine Art?! i guess</p>
<p>So far, from my little experience, graphic design if you already know the ins and outs of photoshop, dreamweaver etc.</p>
<p>Fine Art is NOT easy, even if you love it, even if you’re amazing at it.</p>
<p>kinesiology = not easy (well, at my school anyway). I’m double majoring in kinesiology and bio and I work 10 times harder for my kinesiology classes…</p>
<p>I am not sure there is a universal easy one. It depends on your skills and the school you are at.</p>
<p>idk i think psychology and sociology r the easier majors at our school because that seems to be the fall-back major and many people r in it. ironically, people who drop out of bio sci go for psychology and/or sociology</p>
<p>Liberal Studies (/Liberal Arts) Well, my degree was/is challenging as hell, just because I so choose to pick classes that are academically rigorous , but most of the kids in my school do what they can in the required classes, then pick things they think will be easy for electives.</p>
<p>In the course of my career at my current college I have taken all the levels of American Sign Language and Ceramics offered by my school (only up to level II) and am now doubled up with Bio lab and chem lab (6 hrs in class/wk each), a 4 credit calculus class, and macroeconomics. Not easy, but only cause I made it so.</p>
