Interesting/"Easy" Summer Electives
Hey everyone!

I'm thinking of taking electives in my remaining summers here at Mac and I would appreciate any interesting/"easy" course that you can suggest. I understand that there really is no such thing as an "easy" elective,as it really depends from person to person, but I'm looking for courses where most of the people who took them got high marks. This is because I kind of messed up my 2nd year and I was hoping that taking some electives might give me some boost while learning new and interesting things at the same time.

Thanks in advance !

What are you interested in give a list of courses example Econ, Psych etc. And I'm sure people can tell you better answers .

I took microeconomics, macroeconomics and gerontology because I heard they were 'easy' electives.

Unlike what I did, I'd say to pick electives that are sure to interest or help you, and you will naturally devote more time and effort into them to achieve a great mark that others get in 'bird courses'. Plus, you also want to spend the $1K or so on something of real value to you.

If you're like me, you want summer classes that don't have a ton of assignments, because, let's face it, it's harder to stay motivated. In the summers I have taken and done well in:

Music 2II3
Music 2F03
Econ 3T03
Hlth Age 2G03 (two short assignments but worth it for the interesting material)
Earth Sci 2GG3
Econ 2D03 (a few short Q&A assignments)
Music 1AA3 (actually taken by my best friend, but she got a 12 not having attended a single class outside of tests)

Have fun!
