Biology 2C03 is definitely NOT an easy elective.

Earth Sci 2GG3 is pretty easy.

Psych 2AP3 is one of the most interesting courses I've taken but it's not "easy". I personally love Dr. Day but not everyone does. I'd suggest that you do Psych 2B03 first which is easier in terms of content (both of the course structures are the same), and if you do well and enjoy his teaching then go for 2AP3.

Psych 2TT3 is pretty easy, the final exam was a bit tricky but nothing brutal? Dr. Beston is a great prof and actually made me enjoy a course that I'd thought I wouldn't have any interest in.

Music 2F03 seems to be an easy course, I haven't done it but everyone says so :p

Classics 2MT3 is going to be taught by my MCAT instructor for the first time and he is a really chill guy who I quote "If you wanna take an advantage of a prof who doesnt know what he is doing and will make things easy cos it is his first time, take this course".

Also, I haven't done psych 2H03, but a couple of my friends have, it is not easy but apparently interesting and quite a bit of work but a good grade is still attainable.

I am getting pretty tired of ppl saying "easy" electives because it is very subjective. One course may be easy for you but not for someone else. I could do well in a course that had a relatively great prof and interesting material.

As noted above, Jiwon thought Bio 2C03 was easy while Iqra disagreed. I think it depends on your interests and your strengths as well.

For me, I found the following interesting and thus "easy":

Life Sci 2N03 (Dr. Pincivero)
Math 1A03 + 1AA3 (Dr. Barto and Dr. Childs respectively)
Psych 2B03 (Dr. Day)
Origins/Astron 2B03 (Dr. Parker)

All of these courses had great profs when I took them. They were all approachable, willing to help, and responded to e-mails within 24 hrs.

Check out the course reviews and the comments I made to elaborate why I found it interesting and "easy".

I completely agree about the interest aspect, there really aren't many easy courses, it depends on what you are good at, what is easy to someone may be torture to you.

Bio 2C03 is a super interesting course but it is a lot of work, not something that I'd say is something you can take if you want something that is an easy double digit.
