Which AMU Science class is easiest?

[cisco4711]

Hello everyone,

I spoke with an AMU rep and they said the GEN ED Science requirement can't be tested out of since I have to have a lab. My question is which AMU SCience course would be easiest? I'm just trying to get the credit.

SCIN121 - Habitable Worlds; Are We Alone? with Lab
SCIN130 - Introduction to Biology with Lab
SCIN131 - Introduction to Chemistry with Lab
SCIN132 - Human Anatomy and Physiology with Lab
SCIN133 - Introduction to Physics with Lab
SCIN134 - Introduction to Astronomy with Lab
SCIN135 - Introduction to Forestry with Lab
SCIN136 - Introduction to Oceanography with Lab
SCIN137 - Introduction to Meteorology with Lab
SCIN138 - Introduction to Physical Geology with Lab
SCIN139 - Introduction to Human Ecology with Lab
SCIN140 - Introduction to Environmental Science with Lab
SCIN233 - Physics I with Lab [Prerequisite: MATH225 - Calclulus]
SCIN234 - Physics II with Lab [Prerequisite: MATH226 - Calculus II]

On a side note, I've read that many people here go with the "Big 3" schools," but I feel AMU is better for me since they have no proctored exams. I'm military so the courses are paid for, but I am going to start CLEPing classes. My first one will be US History 1 hopefully early next week.

It's hard to say what the easiest is, because that depends on your background, knowledge, and interests.

But man, the coolest sounding one is SCIN121 - Habitable Worlds; Are We Alone? with Lab!

Are we alone in the Universe? If so, why? If not, where might life exist outside of Earth? New information that helps us answer these questions seems to come out every day. Scientists are learning more all the time, including facts about the cosmic makeup of other worlds, information about the biological and chemical origins of life, and about the physics of space which contribute to, or against, life. This course will survey these topics in an adaptive, interactive, and project-based lab environment.

That one does sound cool, but for some reason it's not being offered at the moment. I was considering Astronomy, but it looks a little difficult considering it's offered in a 16 week format vs. the traditional 8 week format.

I'd recommend Rio Salados Intro to Nutrition. The course and lab are not much of a challenge. It is 8 weeks long and you can work ahead. The lab does not require a kit or book.

what about
AMU Course: SCIN134 - Introduction to Astronomy with Lab

05/02/16 - 06/26/16
Spring 2016 Session I - 8 Week session

or is APU different from AMU

My suggestion is to go for one that appeals to you most and aligns/helps with your future profession.
All of these are introduction courses and should be the easiest, until you reach an upper level course.
From looking at that list, for me, the most appealing would be Human Ecology.

They don't offer it in all states in the USA, I wasn't able to register.
