<p>If you taken any breadth class, or any class for that matter, and did very well (say, B+ or higher) and feel that it was easy to get that good grade, please share!
And also share if you heard a class was easy and took it, and found out it wasn't as easy as you thought.</p>

<p>Music 26AC (Art + Lit) - it's supposed to be easy, questions are taken from the powerpoint slides, but it's a good deal of reading and trying to memorize titles/genres of songs...not as easy as people say it is.</p>

<p>Astro C10 (Physical Sci) - overrated professor. tries hard to add humor, material is not easy, especially if you haven't taken physics (lots of 'simple' ratios, but can get confusing). Definitely a lot of work. Daily readings, weekly homework that take forever, 2 quizzes, 2 midterms, a final, 15 points of labs (so 3-5 of them) which to me are burdens throughout the semester.</p>

<p>Alex Filippenko is by no means overrated. Astro C10 was, to me, a GREAT experience.</p>

<p>Physics for Future Presidents (Muller): This is the class with all the jocks. Muller requires you to simply memorize his textbook (his writing style is easily understandable) and important notes in lecture. With 2 midterms and a final of multiple choice questions and one essay, it's easy to score high in this class by simply rereading the book a few times. There are no tricks. </p>

<p>I also want to second Music 26AC. Brinner is a good lecturer. Some of his testing material was questionable, but it's easy to memorize his main points and the song titles.</p>
