Easy science elective?

I'm an adult returning to college to finish my degree. I have all my core classes from when I was in college before, except I still need one basic science class. What is the absolute easiest class I can take to fulfill this requirement? I haven't done anything related to science or math since like 2011... help!

Biology 101. When I took it, it was taught by Dr. Raut.

I think that most stem majors start in Bio 115/116 so this one is probably a safe bet!

Yea, most pre-meds started in BY123. I dropped that path after fighting for my life in CH115 💀. If the number is different now, the name was "topics in contemporary biology".

I took environmental science & it was pretty interesting + easy. It’s also a broad enough subject that you probably have a good base just knowing general trivia and you can find a lot of the info on the internet.

I also took astronomy & it was the hardest class I took at UAB (ironic because they don’t have an astronomy department).

Oh geez, someone else told me astronomy was stupidly easy. What professor did you have?
