Hey so I'm looking for classes that are really easy for an elective. Something that you can get a good grade in without much work. I'm doing 4th year seminars soon so I want something to offset the balance.

-thanks

EDIT: It has to be 2nd or 3rd year.

And I thought people went to school to quench their thirst for knowledge and challenge themselves. Ha

Economics 1B03 (Microeconomics) is the first one of those that comes to mind. With minimal studying, it is possible to get 10+. Go to class though. D. Holmes said there would be podcasts, but they were extremely unreliable. Technical difficulties resulted in several lectures not being recorded and of the ones that were recorded, most were of poor audio quality.

I don't know if I would buy the text (probably not, I didn't), but definitely attend all classes. Take advantage of office hours too. Nobody else goes, so the office hours end up being essentially free private tutoring.

tell it to all the med school applicants

You mentioned that the elective has to be a 2nd/3rd year course, so you have to make sure that the course that you want to take doesn't have prerequisites or that you took it's prerequisites before.

I found this list:
http://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/documents/electives.pdf

I would say:
1. Find a course that interests you from that list.
2. Make sure it doesn't have any prerequisites that you didn't take before.
3. Make sure that it counts as an elective for you... sometimes an elective varies from department to department.
4. Make a thread here and ask people about that course that you want to take...or see if there's a course review for it (here on MI).

Good luck

High school courses.

Econ/linguistics comes to mind. I also heard the language courses are a joke

Feels good knowing that our future physicians look for the easy way out.

I can understand wanting to lessen your load due to some heavy course requirements but you might as well get something out of the courses that you're paying for.

Sorry Chris, posted before the edit.

I always found the Psych courses to be interesting. Try those?

2nd year psych - personality

Anything econ 2nd year.

Good one, boss.

Youd have a good chance getting an answer if you started a thread for difficult humanities classes. Any course posted there is generally going to be easy for you;P

History 2TT3 is pretty awesome.
