Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Classes @ Berkeley are hard and once in a while we need a "filler" class to balance things out a bit. So, I think it would be great if everyone on CC took a second to name a few classes they have taken or heard of that are REALLY easy. Then the CC commnity will always have a list that we can reference when in need of an easy class. </p>

<p>NAME THE CLASS AND THE PROF</p>

<p>I'll Start: Anthro 2AC (Prof. Lightfoot)
EPS 80 (Prof. Berry)
Music 27 (Prof. Van Orden)</p>

<p>Let's keep te ball rollin....everybody, add to the list....you might be able to benefit from it at some point.</p>

6

<p>Of all the classes I've taken at Cal, I found Psych 150 and Psych 160 to be the easiest (by a landslide). For me, the workload for those classes was miniscule. The only homework (when I took them) was "reading," but I've found that it wasn't necessary for me unless I was studying for the exams. The only work I did in those classes was studying for 5 hours the night before each of the 3 exams. That's it, and I know I wasn't alone.</p>

7

<p>American Studies 10 is usually fun and easy too. It's always got some sort of WACKY theme! :-D</p>

8

<p>ESPM 119 chemical ecology fun class and only need 30 min study before each midterms to get A. exams are based on different experiments discussed in class</p>

<p>ASTRO 10 extremely fun class, exams are really easy.</p>

<p>MCB 11 ditto</p>

9

<p>EPS 20 i took it pass no pass. Studied 20 mins before each exam and got B's.... so... not to bad.</p>

10

<p>ESPM 50AC ? cools that'll help me with my AC requirement :) which lecturer?</p>

11

<p>PMB 10. Basically, I didn't do anything the entire semester, other than write a 3-page paper. Crammed the entire semester's worth of material the day before the final(wasn't fun though), aced it, and got an A in the class.</p>

12

<p>Any easy R/C class beside Asian American?</p>

13

<p>German typically has the easiest R&C classes.</p>

14

<p>Philosophy 12A (prof. Fitelson)</p>

15

<p>Please tell me more about ES 10 and if the field study is good too</p>

16

<p>Is Math1A really easy??? I heard it was hard as hell... I think I might need to take that, but if it's easy that would be awesome</p>

17

<p>Depend on your major, your professor and how much you like Math. From what I heard it is easy not that rough...</p>

<p>1B is tough though...</p>

18

<p>The easiness of Math 1A really depends on your professor. Last Fall there were 3 Math 1A classes-- taught by Borcherds, Haiman, and Steel. Borcherds and Haiman were really easy and had a great helpful curve. Steel's curve was the unhelpful kind where you needed more than a 90 to get an A on some of his exams.</p>

19

<p>EPS 131, EPS 185, and CHEM 105</p>

20

<p>Anthro 2, English 135, and UGBA 107 were all easy.</p>
