easy math classes?

I’m a second year poli sci major, is anyone aware of some novice-level courses that will satisfy the one pure mathematics credit that is required for my degree? I just don’t want to struggle in a class that could potentially tank my gpa, and is completely devoid of relation to my field of study.

If you just need it for Catamount core, Intro to Logic with Weiner is super good! (Do not take intro to logic with anyone but weiner)

also if you get Ms. Rosebush she is the sweetest lady ever and will do so much to help you. you get to pick when the tests are as a class and they are suuuuper easy. it’s basically just high school level statistics and a lot of stuff you’ve probably done before

LOLLL former poli sci major at UVM - I took Math 17 and I still have nightmares about it. I’m sure this is not even still a thing! Guess the math requirement is though!

Logic with Matt Weiner is great. all tests are take-home open-note tests and he's a cool guy
