A lot of this really depends on the prof. How the course is presented, the type and # of tests etc.

Geology 209 is pretty simple seconded for Giovanni. She's kind of militant but a good prof. I don't think she has bonus marks anymore.

Engl 399 or 395 or whatever, fair amount of reading and work but you get to read Lewis Carol and TDK, Watchmen and stuff and then write essays on them

Geog 213, Astronomy 205, Coms 363 and Rels 205 were all quite difficult, but only sort of. Usually it was a bad prof, sometimes it was the way the presented it or the grade make-up or the type of tests. Also crappy, boring, uninteresting material is hard for me because if I hate the class I don't usually do very well.

The most important thing when looking for an easy A is to maybe follow some of the advice for courses in this thread but make sure you have a good prof with a good course outline. You have like 2 weeks to drop a course. If it seems as though the prof is there to punish people who take his course as a GPA booster get the hell out of there. Giovanni in Glgy 209 is quickly approaching that status though. She likes to post her quizzes on a Friday night. That means you only have until Sunday to finish. Drives me nuts. I hardly ever check my email on the weekend. She does it intentionally to eff with people.
