UofL GPA Boosters

[FlamingC19]

Since i've seen a thread for nearly every other University/College i thought i'd throw one out there for University of Lethbridge.

Course and Profs name...

I'm going into my 4th year and have a lot of options left.

So far my easiest options have been art 1000 with Leslie Dawn, Anthro 1000 & 2010 with Judith Whitehead, and New Media 2020 with Greg Styles.

instead of starting a new thread just figured I would bump this

I was at Calgary Campus but the "Art Now" class and one other art history classes were absolute jokes. I attended less than 50% of the time and got A's in both. Oh and History 1000, that was another one where you didn't even need to attend 50% of the time.

[FullFledgedYYC]

I took an improv class.... that was very easy.

New Media 1000 was very easy as well.... if you are good at that kind of stuff.
Drama 1000 wasn't tough either.

Health Sciences 3850 OL - Advanced psychiatric interviewing

Music 3200 - History of Rock an Roll (was an awesome class)

Religious Studies 1000

Psych 1000 (provided you don't get the nazi prof at the leth campus)

Phil 2000 - Reason, faith, and tolerance

[FullFledgedYYC]

Ahhh yes... Psych 1000 was quite easy, and somewhat interesting.

I disagree with religion 1000... perhaps because I am extremely uninterested in religion, but I found it pretty damn tough.

Art Now was easy, but when I took it 3-4 years ago it was a pass/fail class. So you didn't get any grade to count towards your GPA. You either got a pass or a fail.

You're right, it was pass/fail now that I think about it. I got a "pass" lol.

I was thinking of the art history course and History 1000. Basically the entire class got an A. All you needed to do was show up every second week or so.

As for that History of Rock & Roll class, at least at the Calgary campus, everyone I talked to said it was super hard, tons of work, and the teacher was a dick. Everyone took it thinking it was a GPA booster and got owned.

I took it at the main campus in Lethbridge and it was 4 online tests composed on m/c, short answer, and aural listening. Quite easy and since notes were posted online and I used youtube to make playlists to listen to the music class attendance wasn't mandatory.

I thought every course at UofL was a grade booster?

That sounds way better than it was in Calgary. It was a 3hr class every week in Calgary, no online component.

Curious what these classes entailed:

New Media 1000
Art Now

[FullFledgedYYC]

New Media 1000 I took with Lance. We had to do a bunch of photoshop stuff mainly... there was also VERY basic website building and a very basic adobe premiere video project.

If you are decent with computers, it's a cake walk.

Art now was watching videos and listening to speakers speak about the meaning of art and other pure BS. You then had to write small papers about it, which in turn could be 100% BS. It was a pass/fail class. It is literally impossible to fail unless you didn't hand in your work. I didn't spend more than 30-60 minutes writing each paper/response. I did *almost* nothing in that class. Also being pass/fail, it was pointless to put in more than 60-70% effort.

I took it online, which was better because everything was a video (sometimes it was a video if the UofL Main Campus classroom). This way I could skip through the videos and grab snippets of info to use in my papers rather than sit through the whole talk which may have resulted in me hanging myself.

[FullFledgedYYC]

Wow.... wish I had taken that one. haha.

[muffzz]

Ah damn Art now is full :(. Is there any other class similar to that one where you can get an easy A?

[muffzz]

Anyone know of any other easy gpa boosters at u of l (calgary campus)? sociology or geography?
