Anyone have an easy two credit class at ISU? Doesn't matter what it is, but it just needs to cover 1.5 credits needed for graduation. Thanks

HRI 383 - "Intro to Wine, Beer, and Spirits"

One class meeting per week for two hours. Each class includes drinking.

Either Walking and Bowling, or HRI 383, or you can get in HDFS 283 (Doug Borkowski class). HDFS 283 is a pretty easy A (3 credits) and also you learn quite a bit about finances (basics, but good to know).

I would take 383 P/F if you go that route. That class is actually fairly tough.

Speech communications 110 is entitled "listening" (3 credits). If your ears function you will do fine. You do have to show up on occasion though.

I agree with this. I did the same and it allowed me to miss a few classes, skip the "required" field trip, and still pass.


And why would you skip the field trip?

I was exactly that short and wound up talking to a few of my instructors and doing independent studies with them. It's as easy as talking to one of your favorite instructors and asking them if you can get 1 credit hour of independent study from them.

Usually they will find things that are interesting to you and that you would actually get value from.

Sometimes, these courses can be some of your best and most valuable learning experiences because you get to focus on something that actually interests you.

Exactly. I was in MIS and was taking a networking/systems class. I told my instructor I was interested in the security part, social engineering and hacking. He handed me a Cisco firewall and said "I'll give you 1 credit hour if you detail how you could gain access to this firewall physically, then how you would change settings on it once you actually had access to it."

I wrote a 5 page paper talking about how I'd socially engineer people at a company to gain access, then detailed with screenshots how to make changes to the hardware once I had access. I handed him back his Cisco firewall configured with my settings when I gave him my paper.

It was entertaining, challenging, and I found it to be highly valuable.
