1. Effective Study Skills

Effective Study Skills is a one credit hour class that covers test taking tips, time management, and different learning styles based on each individual’s needs.

2. Time Management

This class allows students to set their own goals, practice skills to manage assignments, study effectively and handle that pesky procrastination.

 

3. Great Books

Although I would not classify this class as “easy”, for non-English majors, this class gets you to read novels, short stories, and poems that you might normally read in a Great Books class; which can be a nice break from your normal coursework.

As a Psychology major, you are required to take this one credit hour class. Although it is an easier course, it prepares you for graduation, graduate school, and future careers.

In this class, you will learn about the literature and culture of the Appalachian region in the form of poems, oral narratives, travel writing, song lyrics, and nature writing.

Water Aerobics can be challenging at times, but for a PE class, you get a good workout and there is not much to it besides showing up and keeping an activity log.
