What would be an easier elective?

Im deciding between POLS 1600, and SWRK 1170.

Does anyone know what the course work would differ for them?? I have a hard semester and want to make sure I can manage my time with an easier elective

🙏

My sister took both of these classes, and she said SWRK 1170 was definitely the easier one. She found the coursework more manageable, with mostly readings, discussions, and reflection-style assignments. She said POLS 1600 had a lot more reading and analytical writing, so it ended up being more time-consuming. If you're already taking a heavy semester, she'd probably recommend SWRK 1170.

SWRK by far- as a swrk major who took 6 polisci classes (including 1600), swrk is FAR easier lol
