<p>I just came back from orientation a few days ago so now I have my schedule.
Any tips or advice about anything would be highly appreciated!</p>
<p>BUS-A 100 Basic Accounting Skills (Tiller)
BUS-K 201 The Computer in Business
BUS-X 100 Bus Administration: Intro (Heslin)
COLL-X 111 Freshman Interest Group Seminar (Lottes)
MATH-M 118 Finite Mathematics (Dabrowski)
SOC-S 100 Introduction to Sociology (Hallett)</p>
<p>I had Dabrowski for Finite my freshman year. If you are good at math the class will be cake. Attendance is not at all required, I rarely attended. The Webwork becomes annoying after a while though.</p>
<p>Heslin is an easy A. Good luck with Tiller.</p>
<p>For those who need an interesting class that also meets the A&H requirement, consider ANTH E105, which is being taught next semester by Suslak.</p>
<p>what are some Easy A courses that aren't business courses?</p>
<p>Well, there are a few classes in the HPER group like Fitness conditioning or Basketball (both 1 unit courses) that are easy As. I'd have to look a while to find ones in the academic area though.</p>
<p>When I went to college and law school there were publications produced by the students available in the bookstore or library with tips about the professors. They were really helpful - pointing out the funny professor that seemed so laid back but gave out the final from hell. Or the one that looked critical and hard but actually was an easy "A". Is there anything like this at IU?</p>
<p>Nowadays, most people use either the ratemyprofessors site or they use the Grade Distribution summary put out by Indiana University themselves. </p>
<p>That site is located here:</p>
<p>Grade</a> Distribution Database: Office of the Registrar: Indiana University Bloomington</p>
<p>Also, check out on the threads on here. They are full of suggestions of which professors to take or not to take.</p>
<p>thank you Calcruzer - gotta love the computer age :)</p>
<p>Yeah, it really makes a difference. Bthomp1 put out a thread a little while ago with the rankings on different courses by department.</p>
<p>After searching it for awhile, I've noticed that the Music Department, Astronomy department, Education department, and some of the academic courses in the Health Department seem to be the ones where the grading is a bit easier compared to the averages. Obviously I wouldn't "load up" on these, but I would suggest possibly taking one per semester to balance an otherwise tough workload (so that there is a mix of "tougher" versus "easier" courses). This is what my son will be doing from this point on--taking about two "tough" courses in the major (mostly required ones); two "medium" courses--one in the major, one not; and one "easier" course.</p>
<p>I agree w/ you calcruzer- I did basically the same thing that your son is doing. The MUS-Z courses are fairly easy to get A's in (history of rock and roll, rock in the 70's/80s, etc.) as well as the HPER-E/F/H courses. For my senior year electives I took HPER-H 174 (1st 8 weeks) and HPER-H263 (2nd 8 weeks) and both were very easy A's. :)</p>
<p>Also, if you are looking for some fairly easy N&M courses (and don't want to take a psych. course) check out MSCI-M 131 and MSCI-M 216. The instructors are very laid back in both courses and the material is rather interesting :)</p>
<p>unless you are a business minor or just taking a class for distribution; BUS X-100 is pointless. You don't need it for your Kelley degree and I hear it is not worth the credit. This is similar to my first semester and I did fine. Those first 8-weeks when you have A-100 and everything else will be overwhelming, but it is over by mid-October. I would if you can, switch X-100 to a distrib. class, an A&H or S&H [you have enough math], that will serve you better in the LR.</p>
<p>these are just my thoughts and let me know if you have any questions</p>
<p>I really enjoyed my A&H credits of CLAS C-101 and C-102, Ancient Greek and Roman History. They were easier than normal history classes (no papers; just MC tests), and very interesting.</p>
