Also can't go wrong with psych 101.

Is music 102 the one where you have to attend a certain number of musical shows/concerts?

Yup, between that and the attendance it is way too much work...

Yes

I can't remember what class number it was but business psychology was the easiest class ever. Once a week for two hours, all grades were off attendence and open book quizzes.

40% of the grade was attendance when I took it in 2005. You have to ride the short bus to class to not get an A.

I was a TA for Music 104, kinda bummed to hear that it is canceled...fun class

HDFS 283 is looking pretty darn good... Personal and Family Finance

"Introduction to basic principles of personal and family finance. Budgeting, record keeping, checking and savings accounts, consumer credit, insurance, investments, and taxes."

I got an A, but it was annoying to have to go.

My definition of an easy elective:

• If you can get a B with basic common sense and understanding of Human Nature.

• If you can get a B based on something you learned in another class that matters.

• and cracking a book or going to class gets you from B to A.

Attendance requirements downgrade the class from "Easy" to an annoyance.

I remember that too. Music 104 was actually easier.

But it was worth it when the professor would chase after people who tried to sneak out or fell asleep.

Agreed. In these classes you know there was a point in time when no one would come to class so there had to be a decision. They could make the class worthwhile so students show up, or they could keep the class a waste of time but require attendance. Every class I took with required attendance was a waste of time.

Im in Sociology and by no means is it cake :no::no::no::no::no:

My thought is if you want an easy A in a hard class, take the 8AM class that has pop quizzes/attendance points. Many people will miss the class, and you get easy points.

If you want a class with no attendance requirement, then find a class thats in a big lecture hall.

Comp Sci 103. Can you turn your computer on? Can you navigate the series of tubes that is the internet? Plus, the class is totally online (kind of funny considering that the first few weeks of the class focus on how to use an operating system and web browser). I didn't go to one of the four tests and still got an A.
