I would recommend anything offered by Bart Beaty (sp?). His courses are well taught, very fun and often very enlightening.
There is also a music professor... Coeleho (sp...) who does music history classes. The guy is awesome. He will discuss the origins and influences of a specific song, then using his guitar break all the components down so you can get an understanding of how to listen for things in music.

As a history grad, I agree with this statement. The professor that teaches this stuff is absolutely BRUTAL! Still, learning how much of a religious nutcase Newton is was interesting...
Canadian history courses are quite fun. I'd recommend some of the lower level ones that don't require much in the way of researching. But they do involve some essay writing. If you can write though, they are pretty simple.
Bout 4 years ago there was a professor offering a course dealing with the origins of the internet. The course had a wierd title... "Innovation and Technology" or something. I'd look that one up as I found it pretty fun. The assignements were pretty much a cake walk too... one small essay, a final and a presentation on something innovative.
