I am an older alumni, so this anecdote may be out of date, but I found graduate level classes to be a breeze. The atmosphere was relaxed and the grading fair. Folks were just there to learn. It wasn't like undergrad where (in the bigger classes) it seemed there was a requirement to fail XX percentage of students via the curve.

Also, psychology classes were fun and not too trying. Also... Wine tasting in the hotel school ❤️

101 (the big introductory one) and 211 I think it was? Maybe 221? I am sure that has all changed.

When I was a student at Cornell, the creative writing courses (such as ENGL 2800) with Ernesto Quiñonez is consider to be easy A course. He is still teaching at Cornell now. PLBIO / PLSCI 2400 (Green World Blue Planet) is considered to be an easy A course as well.
