Easy options @ uofc

[stefan15]

Yeh, this thread has existed before, but I'm starting it up again since there seems to be lots of new classes this year..

I'm looking for an easy 200 level option.. Just some joke class. I'm in my last year and don't feel like stressing myself over it. Has to be a humanity or social science.

Right now I'm registered in POLI205 which sounds interesting but apparently requires a good amount of work.

[LuxCars]

like ive said in every other thread that has started like this.
take grst211.

check the course outline and make sure EVERYTHING is online (including the final, cause sometimes they screwed people over with that and made them come in and write the exam)

I have heard good things about this class as well

[LuxCars]

if you pm me your email address i could do it

[dizzle]

damn i think that class is full...

[ashee]

GLGY209 is pretty easy.
POLI283 or LAST 203/201.

[turbotrip]

econ 201? and i heard that grst 211 is no longer the same as last year

[De Dutch]

FILM 201? Anyone taken it? How was it?

[D. Dub]

200 level classes are often "survey classes" and end up being tougher than more senior level classes b/c of the vast info. they cover--especially if they are in a topic are that is new to you.

Easier for me in university was to take a senior level class I had the pre-reqs for and was interested in -- thats my 0.25 :dunno:

agreed, though a lot of programs (like mine) don't give you that option, you have to take x number of each level of option

[mdeluxe]

I think GEOL or GEOG class are super easy

when you in third year take TOUR 309 :werd:

[stefan15]

Should have mentioned, I've taken GRST211 (pm me if you want stuff from this class), and am a geology major so GLGY209 is out.

Done GEOG205, ENGL393. Just finished econ201 and 203. I'm in my last/4th year of school, and need just a joke of a class to fill this ridiculous schedule.

[whiskas]

TRAN301 is great, it's pretty interesting too.

I'm taking CNST361 right now and it's not bad either.

GLGY 301 is also easy, pretty much a review of GLGY 209.

[aklalani]

anyone taken tran 303?

[asp integra]

any other good 300 level courses?

[turbotrip]

STAS 341 is damn easy, all it is is 1 5 page essay

[A2VR6]

depends on the prof... i know the ones this upcoming year have a final as well. I found ANTH 201 was pretty easy but it involved a bit of memorization.

[kakala]

hey,guys

how about

HTST201 by Rennie
POLI 201 by Flanagan
GRST 209 by Hume
im going to take them

any ideas???

[Dehvee]

Im taking Econ 201.. hopefully that will be easy

[soupey]

computer science 203 iirc is an easy one

[dodgy]

GLGY 301 - all m/c midterms and final. so easy. plus you get 300 of your closest friends.

no such course man

[DC328is]

^ only in winter semester.

Guys how are the geography introduction 200 courses? are they GPA boosters?

Can you guys also name some 300 level as well?
I heard Arky 325 was easy.

[urbannomad]

ARK325 was ok...i guess...i ended up with a B+ in that course. it'll depend on who you get for a prof. i had cunningham, and it wasn't a bird course by any means!

[RedBull]

I got Cunningham and ouch. His gay group assignments and monotone lectures (not to mention all his oiler references) were a little too much for me. I wouldn't recommend ARKY 325 at all...

[dizzle]

anymore course suggestions for fall 2007?

[TNation]

for sure take PoliSci 225
i never bought a textbook, wrote two quizzes and one essay and I had a an A minus
oh and I never studied
its a joke

the only class I have ever been able to do that in. Just take notes in class and listen.

[eb0i]

Religious studies 200 level courses are easy and interesting. Hell any 200 level course is pretty easy.

[DC328is]

philosophy 279 was kinda hard... same with math 221.

anyway...
has anyone taken Geog 211 The Physical Environment
with Yvonne Martin ???

thanks

[asp integra]

i have taken geog 211, pretty easy, pay attention and u get a's easy, just throw a bit of work in every once in a while, no idea about that teacher though

[dizzle]

anymore 200-level courses for fall?

[Krayzie]

take geog213 with peter slezak. It's supposed to be pretty easy

any 300 level options? I need to sign up for one more but i can't find a good/easy one

[toomuchb00st]

take reglious studies 203 with a barber. easy easy easy class.

[kakala]

POLI 201 by Flanagan
GRST 209 by Hume

anyone has notes for them?
thanks

[xxjessmicaxx]

Geog 213 is super duper easy, as is GRST 211. Don't take GRST 211 during Fall/Winter, because you have to write the exams in the TRI Labs (basement of Social Sci) with supervision. If you take it in Spring/Summer, however, you can do everything at home and use the 'honour system'.

I would also recommend, CNST 331, a block week class on Canadian film.

[three.eighteen.]

muhl 309 changes from semester to semester, this semester the topic is jimi hendrix, next is rolling stones i think? you just listen to tunes, really easy

[ilinfiniti]

LOL at TNation's signature

i took grst211 last winter and wrote the final somewhere else without any supervision

Oh Ok great! Maybe things have changed! I know one of my friends gave me Sh*t because I told her how easy the class was in the summer, but when she took in fall she had to do it in the labs. That's awesome then, they probs changed it back due to lack of enrollment in F/W

[toyboy88]

Anybody have pro/cons about the following:

SOCI 201 - Manzo
POLI 283 - Heibert
GEOG 213 - Slezak

Hard/easy, how was the prof?

Thanks in advance.

Eekkk.. I'd beware of GLGY 307 with collum. I heard that this class was a joke, but it turned out way harder than I thought. 50% midterm, 50% final, all multiple choice BUT... a total of 50 questions on each exam that could be pulled from lecture materials, videos watched in class, and the textbook (with a solid 12 long chapters/ exam). The questions weren't even generic. Not sure how this class is with other profs, but it defs wasn't a cake walk for me!
