<p>I just need to take classes that I could get an easy A in to boost my gpa.
I've already taken intro to psych and religion and am enrolled in universal access. Do you guys have any other suggestions?</p>
<p>underwater basket weaving</p>
<p>CS10 if you have an aptitude for math-like things.
Edu60 is hardish to get into, but a very easy A class. Just go to lecture.
Music 80C was easy, but I’d be wary based on who’s teaching.
Phil11 is supposedly quite easy too.</p>
<p>THEA 12 - Intro to stage management</p>
<p>I’ve never done theater or anything even moderately related and it was by far the easiest class I’ve ever taken at UCSC. No background knowledge required.</p>
<p>CMPE3 Personal Computers and most music classes</p>
<p>^Except Intro to Jazz. I’ve heard the professor is horrible and the class is a killer.</p>
<p>Most of the Music 80 courses are pretty easy. Some require more work than others, so I really suggest taking one with Lieberman (VERY easy). CMPE 3 is ridiculously easy if you know how to turn on a computer and can memorize answers.</p>
<p>There are several other classes that are easy, but they require a little more work. I now Psych 65 and CMPE 80N were easy ‘A’ classes for me, but I had friends who had trouble in those classes. Just go on ratemyprofessor and sort on easiness. You can probably find some interesting professors/courses that way</p>
<p>Ditto for ed 60, it’s ridiculously easy to ace provided you attend lectures and sections. In the first three weeks, you get one 30-page reading.</p>
<p>For that matter, ed classes in general are fairly easy. Perhaps a reflection of ed students generally placing far below most other majors in English and math (etc) proficiencies. An ed minor is sure to boost almost anybody’s GPA.</p>
<p>In winter, try Anthro 128 (American Evangelical Cultures). It can count for an American cultures gen-ed, and a lot of majors (psych, sociology…) will count it towards major requirements. 60% of the grade essentially comes from attendance, with the final 40% divided equally between two short ethnographic papers. </p>
<p>If there’s a language you’re willing to put some work into initially (or already speak to a degree), you can usually just coast in later classes and keep collecting easy A’s.</p>
