We’ve all heard the saying, “If you try hard enough, any class can be a GPA booster” or “GPA boosters don’t exist.” However, that is not true, and one should not be ashamed to take such classes. Nevertheless, let’s be honest. No class is ever an easy A without putting in some work. However, there is a difference in the workload, effort level, and grade averages in each class that may influence your decision to take it. The list comprised below is based on personal experiences and feedback given by various students.
