Hi everyone. I'm looking for an easy 2nd year elective. I keep hearing about how gemstones seems to be pretty easy. Can anyone who's taken this course explain what kind of things should be expected in this course. And the kinds of exams/tests they have? Also, any other easy ones? Thanks!!!

Im taking it now in summer school. based on accounts from friends who took this class in previous semesters...it looks like they completely overhauled the whole curriculum....there are now labs/assignments in addition to online quizzes and midterms
so beware... it may still be an easy course compared to others... but you may actually have to work for your 12 unlike before

Do you think you could post up the course breakdown or something like that?

Evaluation:
1 midterm (July 15th), 1 final (August 7th)
5 pop quizzes, one per week (not during test weeks)
2 short labs
1 short paper

Course Evaluation Percentage Points:
Midterm 30 %
Final 30 %
Quizzes 15 %
Labs 15 %
Short Paper 10 %
