FIGURE 3. — Student perceptions of what makes a college biology course easy. The 100-level students (black, n = 155) defined easy courses as those that have a low or manageable workload, logical content, personal interest, and/or strong background preparation by the student, and high faculty support. The 300-level students (gray, n = 39) recognized easy courses as having logical content, a manageable workload, clear alignment, high faculty support, and, last, a low cognitive demand asked of them in the course.
