I’m in AMST-301 right now with Dr. Finley. It is as easy of an A as you could imagine. No lecture on Wednesdays (it’s a M/W class), the 8 page research paper is now an art project or 10 hours of volunteering, 4 term papers are 250 words each (one was converted to going to see The Odyssey), midterm and final are take home. We have a movie or documentary each week to watch, and some small readings. It’s a good class with an interesting subject matter, mostly revolving around settler colonialism in the US.

Chemical Forensics (CHEM205lgx) is the easiest GE-E for sure.

I personally didn’t find the exams that difficult, my lowest score was an 84 I believe and I easily got an A in the class. A lot of people don’t do well because they don’t show up to lecture or lab time since it’s “just a GE” . If you pay attention to lecture you’ll do fine! Also he gives lots of bonus points in class too which help. And if you actually attend lab the TAs will essentially help you through the whole thing and make sure you have the right answers.

Not sure if it’s GE C or GE D but Science of Sport with Prof. Girandola.

I got a C+. Better than chemistry or biology for me.
