My first semester so far at FSU has been, for the most part, a cakewalk. My intended major is Finance, which is included in the school of business. I brought over twelve credits from high school and a dual enrollment course (actually, today I had to call collegeboard to get them to send my AP scores because I forgot to over the summer), so coming into college I was a little ahead of the game. Here is a review of the five classes I'm currently taking:
Business Calculus - This class is incredibly easy for me because I took calculus in high school, but I can imagine it being difficult for people that have never taken it. The class moves fast - one section a day, with a quiz or test every Thursday. At the moment I believe I have a B or a B+; the midterm was not friendly.
English Composition - My professor in this class is a graduate student named Michael Yoon, and I'm sure that's the only reason why I enjoy the class. I've never been a big fan of English related courses, but this guy makes the class engaged in what's going on instead of boring us to death like the majority of my teachers in high school. As far as the course goes, I have not had any problems completing my papers in a timely manner, and all of the topics are extremely easy to write about. This course (ENC 1101) and ENC 1102 can both be passed by getting a 4 or 5 on the English AP exam.
Dinosaurs and Disasters - Yes, this is a college course. It counts as three science credits out of the seven I need. I highly recommend this class to anyone that is looking for an easy A. The professor, Dr. Wise, gives out a ton of extra credit. So far, we've had two tests. I got an 81 on the first and a 71 on the second, yet I still have a 93 overall due to the 40 or so extra credit points I've earned. All of the homework assignments are worth two points extra credit if turned in on time, and are extremely simple. Every day in class he'll also ask a few pop questions to be answered with an i-clicker which are worth one EC point each. Going to class and doing the homework on time basically guarantee yourself an A in the class.
The other two classes I have are online courses. Computer Apps for Business (CGS 2100) is the easiest business related course offered at Florida State. There are four assignments to be completed using MS Word and Excel worth 100 points each, and two tests (midterm and final) worth 100 each. The assignments are very easy - they only take a couple hours to finish, and you get 2-3 weeks to complete each one.
My last course is Multicultural Film Studies, which might be even easier than Dinos and Disasters. Every week we are instructed to watch a movie (some so far have been The Princess Bride, The Other Guys, and Office Space) and write a few paragraphs about how it relates to the textbook. Overall it's an interesting and easy course, and I once again recommend it to anyone.
