I was curious if anyone can recommend some good "easy" UL courses? Preferably not the history ones. I know those ones are pretty simple, but I find it really hard to stay interested/motivated in those courses Sad

Thanks in advance!

If you indeed know that the history/political science courses are simple, then knowing this itself can be a good enough reason to stay motivated. Some among them, notably "European Governments and the European Union" and "History of Infectious Disease" are short (if not the shortest) courses you can take. Some of the longer HTY/POS courses may feel boring at times but knowing that I will likely end up completing a degree, I kept going. So if UL electives is all you need, I would still suggest you to consider taking at least the two I mentioned here. They are short enough to not require any kind of motivation.

They are short but if you don't know both of the topics well already, they might be longer than you think. But yes, less milestones for sure.
There is some feedback across the forum already regarding these 2 classes and we are yet to see anyone struggling with them; the experience is the exact opposite (mine included) - short and easy classes. And it is not only that the milestones are less - the reading content is also less too. Enough with this fearmongering. If we are to accept that one *might* be having a hard time with no prior knowledge, then what are we to suggest at all?
I'll repeat - these 2 courses are so short in terms of reading content that prior knowledge is not required in order to succeed. If anyone who actually took these classes disagrees, please describe the module/chapter that you struggled with.

What a bizarre response. I have taken a huge chunk of the HTY and POS classes. They are a breeze to me, but I could see where they could give someone trouble if they come in with zero knowledge or do not write well or efficiently.  All college classes are going to have their pros and cons and one being "shorter" doesn't always mean it's easier. 

In reality,  NONE of the classes at UMPI are hard. But by taking a class you 1. Have no interest in and 2. Have no knowledge in, is not going to be as easy as you think.

So how about you answer OPs question?
