In that case, 276 with Amy Popillion ftw.

I'm sure this class would be interesting, but how easy is it? Anybody taken it recently?

Your department should have a list, and that may not necessarily match the university list. For example, I took AESHM 379 for my US Diversity requirement (mainly because it was the only thing that fit my schedule that didn't end in "studies", and I didn't want to feel guilty for simply being a white male), but it wasn't only my department's list of US Diversity classes. A quick email to my advisor solved that and it was a very easy course. The title is "Community Leadership", but it's basically about critical thinking. If you have any common sense you don't have to think too hard in that class.

Got an A last fall with minimal effort. Show up to class so you get your points for the clicker questions and you get a study guide before the exam that you just have to fill out and you have the answers to the exam.

The following link is a list of all the classes offered this fall that will meet the US Diversity requirement.

Why not just take something you are interested in? If you like it, you will be able to do the work and it will be easy. College is too expensive to waste on taking a worthless class.

This is why I'm taking the HDFS 276 route.

Took this class with Sapp. He gave the all the tests way beforehand so they were pretty easy. Still had to drop the class because I missed too many days. His attendance policy was insane.

I love how half of the classes I was planning to take next fall are already full.

Honestly though, I will be a second semester Junior next semester and I still can't get into the sections I want.

Do you know how college works? I am required to take certain classes to graduate. One of those is a U.S. Diversity. As I am going to be taking 18 credits this semester I would like to have the easiest possible class because the other 15 are going to be hard as hell. That is why.

Welcome to the club, I will be a senior and can't get into some of the classes I need. I had everything set so I can graduate on time next spring but since all honors students (including freshmen) have all registered before me I have a hard time, not to mention that the university isn't offering as many classes due to budget cuts (some not at all) so that hurts as well.

I think I have it so I can still graduate next year but it will be interesting...

Dealing with the same problem. Normally the university is pretty good about opening up additional seats if there is unmet course demand. Still, you would think they'd have a history of how many students take each class in the fall/spring and provide seats accordingly

I will second LAS 211. Pretty easy.

If that was the case I wouldn't have to take electives/gen eds at all...

But that is not how college works there Soulja

AM IN 310 (note 310, not 210) is super easy - just make sure you take it with Dr. Cecil Whitehat.

The class is the easiest I have ever had since like 5th grade... honestly. Whitehat basically sat up front and told crazy stories about the Lakota Sioux the whole time. You do one presentation, for which he gives everyone A's, then there is a midterm and a final which he literally gives you the answers to a week ahead of time.

As a caution, I had a buddy who took 210 and it turned out to have a ton of reading assignments. I think that class varies in work load by who teaches your section.

Edit: I took 310 with Jason Scales and about 3 or 4 other football players and a couple of Vball players. I'm pretty sure they all got 100%'s as well.
