Santa Monica College/Moorpark

If you went to any college that was in the valley please let me know the teachers who are easy A’s and the school.

Im not looking for classes that you study and are easy A, im instead looking for a joke class. You have extra credit, tests are easy. Etc.

Thank You.

I do use rate my professor btw, im just looking for help from someone who has an honest review of easy classes.

Neither SMC nor Moorpark are located in the San Fernando Valley…

Why do you need a ‘joke’ class?

I want easy A classes to obviously get a 4.0, Im near the Valley so SMC/Moorpark/Pierce/Mission are all close same distance.

I can see how that’s going to help you when you are at a UC…

I don’t know if SMC has many easy classes. That is the main reason they have such successful placement into the UCs like UCLA. I have a cousin at Pierce who was strong in the traditional humanities subjects. She normally gets B’s and the occasional A’s on her tests. She isn’t the most studious person, but she says she has to put in time to get good grades and her work does seem harder than the work I see from my friends’ classes at WestLA

I agree with the two above.

Telling you the ‘easy’ classes isn’t going to help you at all. A short term gain, that’s it.

Why not find a class you are actually interested in, so that you’ll do the work and EARN an A?

I’ve been to six community colleges and Pierce was honestly somewhat difficult. I took a sociology class at Pierce and a symbolic logic course. Both classes only offered 100 points total. The sociology class offered no extra credit whatsoever. I forgot to do 1 assignment and I missed out on 8 points, meaning I had to be just about perfect the rest of the semester to get an A. I haven’t been to Santa Monica College, but my Spanish professor used to teach there. She stated that she hates extra credit because it gives students an excuse to be lazy. If she’s from SMC and had that viewpoint, I would imagine classes there aren’t that easy either.

Santa Monica College + “… looking for a joke class.”

Hmmm.

May I suggest taking SMC’s Math 11 (Multivariable Calculus) with Dr. Andrew Ernest Nestler?

That should be a neat experience, especially if you enroll in that section during the six-week winter session.

I transferred from SMC, and most of the classes were pretty challenging… I took Dance History thinking it would be easy and it ended up being harder than my Biology and Anthropology classes. Just take classes that you’re interested in and it won’t feel like so much work. “Joke” classes won’t serve you well when you transfer.
