I assume he means term 2 of next year? Which is actually called the Winter term. Term 1 is called the Fall/Autumn term. Term 3 is a full year course. Terms 4 and 5, the two summer school terms, are called the Spring and Summer term respectively. Or maybe together they're just Spring/Summer, I'm not sure.
So yeah, a lot of the courses suggested above are term 1 or full year courses.
I only know English/Film courses:
Either first year English courses are easy. Short is being taught by Zuroski, Long by Hyman. They're both good/easy profs.
If you have any interest in film, the first year film course is probably pretty easy, and if you're in second year, 2FA3 - Film Analysis is good too.
All the "Introduction to..." courses are survey courses; they're easy and they assume you have no background knowledge in the field. Art, Multimedia, Anthro, Heatlh Studies, Aging/Society, Labour Studies are all fair.
One thing to note is that whatever people tell you about any given course being a bird course/guaranteed A, you should have a modicum of interest in the subject. It's better to take a course on something that really interests you over ones you hear are really easy. Even if a course is really easy on paper, if the subject is really not your thing, you're gonna get bored and will be tempted to just not go to class or do the work. I took Gemstones a couple of years ago - it was a really easy course but I found it so uninteresting I ended up putting close to zero effort into the course and ended up with a D+.
