I'm looking for some good advise for an elective to do. It has to be either
an Education or Arts course. I'm looking for something that is overall easy
to get a good grade. I figure I'd take a shot in the dark here by asking
because there is no harm.

Thanx,
Greg

For which semester, as what they are offering for the summer/crunch session
is normally so different than what's available in september.

I am not sure that there is any real veg course at MUN. I could be a math
wizard and say that Linear Algebra is a breeze and I got an A without
trying (note that this isn't even close to the truth :). You have to
decide for yourself what area of study you find interesting and that is
where you should do you course. If you have an interest in the area and
apply yourself a lot of courses will result in a good grade. I doubt
there is a course that is 'overall easy to get a good grade it' -- if
there is I never heard of it in all my years at MUN.

Sociology 2230 - Newfoundland Society & Culture
Psych 3533 - Sexual Behaviour
Political Science 1000 - Intro to Political Science

And there are lots of "bird" courses at MUN... especially in the Arts /
Social Sciences / & Education fields. I know A LOT of stupid people who
have these degrees and I wouldn't give them a job at McDonalds. I also know
A LOT of smart people in these fields. There are some tough courses at MUN
(in all disciplines) but for those 3 fields there are ways to avoid most of
them and still get a degree.

do something like Sociology 2000 or Psch (child development).

did both at on time or another, about 3 hours study total for each.

I agree. Soc 2000 is relatively easy. Just go to all the classes and do
the assigned reading and you should find it relatively easy. Of course,
having a good prof helps. I had Linda Parsons. She was great.

Psych 2010 is also pretty easy. Once again, just keep up on the reading.
And I've heard that 3533 is good as well....very interesting. I actually
know people that used to go sit in on this course without even being
registered for it.

Hope that helps.

Hey, guys, I'm not sure it's smart to post this kind of stuff here. I
remember during the MUN faculty strike, many professors seemed to be posting
here (though I haven't seen them since). You wouldn't want your professors to
read your comments about taking their courses because they're a "breeze," would
you?

psych 2800 (drugs and behaviour) is also pretty good, and it's not a boring
class. you just have to give yourself enough time to do the reading.

<clearing throat> Being that I have a B.Comm (Coop) from MUN I have to
suggest a couple of business courses.....

Intro to Business (1001 I believe) is your basic business course and it is
something that you can apply when you graduate.....take it from someone who
is now in the real world after convocation 3 years ago....don't just go for
the easy courses. Take something that is worth while and will spark your
interest, something that you can apply in real life....another good business
course is the investments course (don't recall the number). You may have to
get permission to take that one...get Dr. Frasurk (sp)....one of the best
professors out there. Excellent course and something one can always apply.

Hope this helps....

If you've got a head for numbers and money, Math 2090 [Math of Finance] is
supposed to be a breeze. [I failed it, but I also didn't attend any
classes. Whooops. ;/]

Physics 2151 [Also known as 'Scopes for Dopes] and Earth Science 2051
[Moons for Goons] are both very interesting, though the former might
require a little knowledge of geometry and trigonometry. One is astronomy
the other is the solar system. [Neither is admissible for either a physics
degree or an earth science degree, but they do count as science credits.]

Have to recommend Drugs and Behaviour, especially if Bill McKim is
teaching [he wrote the book] and War and Aggression if Leyton is teaching.
Both are VERY interesting, though W&A requires a fair bit of reading.

Hope that helps!
