As long as theres no papers it should be ok lol. Maybe don't waste your money on school? Take a break, travel, or at least sit back and think about what makes you happy or what you might be passionate about, and then look for a program that resembles that passion.

Ehh tbh im really sold on the idea of getting into pharmacy. If that doesnt work out, prob something in business. Im also doing a minor in that so we'll see how that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I found Psychology to be a good elective. Just memorization for the most part and it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're already in, you'll get the same toilet paper as someone who averages 79% so long as you 'graduate'. Tell that to the grant funding agencies that reject me every year because I didn't have an A+ average. Moral of the story: don't go to grad school. And yeah, it's all already been said: If you don't put in the effort/if you're not interested then you won't do well. That said, EOSC 112 and 114 were both fairly easy when I took it online (2011-2013)...112 (Rocks and Gems?) was boring as hell and I had to work extra hard to stay motivated. The Natural Disasters one is genuinely interesting. The majority of the rest of my electives were Classical Studies courses because I had an interested in it. CLST 301 (Medical/Biological terms) is not as easy as it used to be (prof said that the dean threatened to remove the course), but still an A if you care enough - plus if you're going into Pharmacy it might be helpful? It's a lot of memorization. One of the other courses I'd recommend is Greek/Roman Mythology (CLST 102 I think). It's really really fun course and the prof (Marshall) was super engaging. EDIT: Just saw that you don't want to write papers....CLST 102 is probably not for you then. I don't recall any papers, but half the final is long answer/essay questions.

Hell, nobody asked to even see the credential... at any interview. And I went through a lot before I got my foot in the door. I said I had what I had, nobody bothered to check. It's downright depressing. Every interview I had they asked for transcripts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate writing papers unless I really have too. EOSC 112 i'll most likely take because i'll need it for breadth requirement. EOSC 118 is rock and gems i think. My friend said it was super ez but boring. EOSC 114 i hear is no longer as ez as it used to be apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
