are courses taught in community college easier than those at four year colleges in the same subject?

Answer 1

It depends on the four year college.

For example, CC classes are probably easier than the ones you would take at MIT, Harvard -- or even Vilanova. But they would be no harder than those you would take at Slippery Rock, Seton Hall or St John's.

Answer 2

Its the same basically 4 year colleges want you to go to community college because coming straight out of high school you might still be kind of immature and the community college helps you get a feel of college.

Answer 3

They may be slightly easier, and they may not. Because class sizes are smaller, it's possible that teachers have more time (or ta's) per student to help, creating the illusion that the class is easier. However, the content at accredited institutions for each class is going to be very similar.
