Hey,

Anyone know of some good/easy senior options without many pre-requisites?


Thanks

GOPH 375, no prerequisites and you get to learn about natural disasters...interesting and pretty easy!

Yeah, GOPH was a good class. Easy and interesting.

Yes, except goph 375 has nothing to do with actual geophysics.

Just finished GOPH 375. It is easy breezy.


I have SOCI 371 (Families), 375 (Ethnicity and Racialization), and 399 (Sport) on my timetable for Winter and I need to drop one. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure it's a senior course, but the basic economics (201, 205 I think) are jokes.

Which is what makes it easy and interesting...

SOCI 375

+ easy material includes cool topics like slavery and Apartheid
+ the prof this term (Dr. Wong) was pretty good - friendly, approachable, responds to emails quickly, responds to questions appropriately, etc
+ lots of dumb people in the class makes for a few laughable moments. One girl tried to defend the Wayne Simmonds banana throw as a non-racially motivated act, and another said (and explained) how/why "black people can't float" is a stereotype by including "there must be something biologically wrong with them" in her explanation

- exams have a lot of questions for the allotted time
- there's a #### ton of reading. It's something like 27 chapters (from two texts) for the course

I took the English courses Science fiction and the detective fiction one as well...I think they were 393 and 395 or something like that, but not too sure as it's been a few years now...anyways they were pretty easy, good reads and not too shabby.

I really enjoyed either 395 or 399. It was sci-fi/fantasy when I took it. We read HP Lovecraft, Alice in Wonderland, Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Bone and a Fables one-shot. 1001 nights I think it was called.

Great course. A lot of reading though.

The usual ones I suggest are Astr 205, Geology 205 (205? not sure. Had a youngish american woman teaching with an Italian last name. Easy, easy).

I thought one of the Roman courses I took with Nielson (sp?) was relatively easy. It covered from about 500bc to 500 ad of the Roman Republic/Empire.

Depends on whether you want MC or essays or whathaveyou. Some people would rather take Astr 205 or Econ 201 than Eng or Poli Sci because there are just exams and not a lot of papers or anything. Depends on what you like.

And of course any course is completely dependent on the prof. When I took Geography 2?? it was supposed to be the easiest course ever. Then we took the 1st midterm and the class average was like 60%. And of the 413 kids in my class there were no Geography majors but the prof didn't care. He seemed to think we were all 4th years and should be tested like it. I think he was just mad that one of his prof counterparts who taught the same course was making it too easy, so he was punishing all us slackers that took it was an easy A option.

I think I took 371. Don't remember it too much. I really enjoyed 399. Its like OTR with 200 people

ARKY 325 (327? 329?) Was pretty interesting / easy. A very broad, archeology class. Multiple choice tests (25 questions!!)

Basically any 300 level class which states it can't be applied to your major is where you should go. There was another one (Bio or Ecology 300 something, really easy, talked about the environment). Multiple choice testing.

I thought this was going to be a thread with pictures of 22 year old girls.
