In my experience the easiest classes have been the ones I'm most interested in and therefore most motivated to attend, read the material and do the assignments. For example this past year (my first year) I took a course called Economics and Gov't which was all theory about why private markets fail for certain cases like education and insurance. Fascinating course, great prof and thus I got an A+. Other courses that didn't interest me as much I had a much harder time doing. My 2nd favourite last year was Intro to Existentialism, a 200 level phil course.

I'd highly recommend trying to find something that interests you or will broaden your perspective over looking for the "easy" class. If you're gonna waste several months on it, it might as well be something useful to you or something that helps you develop interests in other areas. Also something to factor in to try and take a course where the prof is an expert on the material and is personally interested in it, that makes the course a lot better.
