I heard enviro sci courses were easy but boring.
Math 1A03 is ridiculously easy if you took calculus in high school.

From what I've been told by friends, Math 1LS3 is easier than 1A03. Don't even bother trying 1AA3 if you're looking for easy...it's significantly harder than MATH 1A03. And I'm taking 1B03 in summer school right now (through correspondence from Laurentian University tho), and it's definitely manageable, if you like math. It's a different kind of math, but I like it  |

Physics 1B03 is decent if you've done highschool physics.
Math 1A03 as well if you've done highschool "calculus".

Compsci 1MA3 and 1MD3 are both pretty easy if you've done compsci before. Don't take 1FC3, unless you love discrete math or something...

I found Physics 1B03 challenging. I know a lot of my friends did poorly and they're pretty bright people.
Kin courses are apparently good.

I found Kin 1Y03 and Math 1LS3 pretty easy last year. I haven't taken Astron 1F03, but I've heard it's relatively easy, especially if Dr. Reid is teaching it. I had Reid for Physics 1L03 last year, and he's a superb prof.

Depends on what you like...Enviro 1B03 was easy but ridiculously boring. And I've realised (for me anyway) if something is boring I'm not going to do well in it because I just don't pay attention, no matter how easy it is. But if you don't mind a boring course or if you find soil and water and pollution particulary interesting..go for it.
Math LS3 is funny..very easy if you've done calc and vectors in high school
The Psych courses were fairly easy too if you enjoy the material

If you do happen to have Physics 1B03 completed, Physics 1BB3 with Dr. Fradin had a nice marking system.
If the class average was under 75% in the midterms they were raised to 75%. Which means that sometimes you can get a 10% boost on your midterm. Although the second midterm wasn't that hard, the average was already above 75%... I think it was like 80%. So a lot of people seem to do well in that class. Unless of course if the standard deviation is massive...

Trust me marks wise...if you take Enviro 1A03 you cna easily get 12 GPa. its really easu course and the prof gives you any possibility to raise your marks..
It is a little boring all about climate but not bad...really easy though.
Others are little hard to get 12 but unless you love the course.
Physics 1B03 - hard because of prof ...easy hard to get good marks.. |

Which prof did you have? I had Dr. King. His midterms were kind of hard but you can easily get 80% in them. Plus labs, iClickers and CAPA bring up your mark. I thought he was a really good teacher.

I've heard that Enviro 1G03 was super easy, but it's currently full-- I wanted to take it too!
Math 1LS3 is kind of a joke =/ .. Really easy course.
Kin 1Y03/1YY3 is by far my favourite first year course (I took it as an elective). If you review your material and listen in class, it's pretty easy to get a good mark in it. It's lots of reading and memorizing though, not to mention that there's a Friday morning test (15 or so M/C questions) every week-- but they were pretty easy if you reviewed your stuff. I definitely recommend this course if you're into Anatomy and Physiology.
