Easier Elective?
I can't decide which elective to take for next year.. I'm debating between Linguistics 1A03, Classics 1A03, and Anthro 1AA3.
Which one is easier/ less amount of work?

I haven't taken Classics or Anthro but I would say Linguistics would be easier/less work because there are no essays or anything in the course. I found it to be a nice break from all the essay writing I do.

There are regular assignments to do, but these are based on material covered in class. |

not sure if you want one of those because of interest or you heard they are really easy; but some courses that are very easy as well include:
Origins 2b03 (Big Questions)
Astron 1f03 (Intro astronomy)
micro & macro econ
I only took astron 1f03 personally, but I have heard nothing but how easy the other two are. Origins 2b03 has interesting material but easy work.
Cheers and have a great summer!

This one's easy as in the material isn't hard, but you have to try pretty hard to get above a 10.

I have taken Classics 1B03 and it was actually really fun! If you have Dr.Murgatyod (I think thats his name) he is a great professor! He's an awesome lecturer and the reading material is quite interesting if you are into mythology. If not the novels we used were all on spark notes. Tutorial was great and you do activities such as writing your own version of a story to small essays about themes.
