What was your easiest A in college?

[Indy Coug]

Sociology 365 - Sociology of Aging

No homework, 3 easy tests.


Beginning Bowling

Teacher said if someone bowled a 200 game they got an A. I bowled a 229 the first day of class.

300 level spanish. I'm not sure there is a close second.

[Pheidippides]

300 level spanish. I'm not sure there is a close second.

Japanese 221 for me. Super easy. I was the TA for that later.

[Uncle Ted]

English 360(?) Technical Writing. The teacher said in the first lecture if you had a peer reviewed paper published you can have an A. I came with my paper the next lecture.

Edit: Most likely the second easy A for me was Abstract Algebra (aka. Math 300 and something). All the tests were take home: open book, open notes and open fellow students. A bunch of engineering students took this for an elective. We would meet, divide and conquer, and be done with the test in about an hour. We would have been done sooner if we didn't sit around arguing about how we come make the proof even more elegant. The math education majors that were required to take the course hated us. Maybe we should have invited them.

History 1, Freshman year.

Held in a huge auditorium with I would guess 200 students. Showed up only for the exams and got an A. Guess my History teacher in High School was good.

Second easiest was Quantitative Analysis at the U in the MBA program. I told the teacher I had already taken the class at BYU in the accounting program. He told me that didn't mean I learned anything.

First class he was doing a problem on the board to show what we would eventually be doing. He asked if anyone knew what to do first and so on. I took him through the whole problem and he asked how I knew how to do that. I reminded him of our conversation, got booed by the class, but still he still wouldn't let me waive the class.

psychology of intercollegiate athletics...I think that was the name of the course. My coach taught us how to do imagery and body scanning so we could perform at optimal levels. Every week we spent 20 minutes of class doing body scanning and imagery. That was the easiest A of all time.

[Slim]

Adolescent psychology. Two easy open book exams and we mostly watched a lot of movies.

[LiveCoug]

Recreation Management and Youth Leadership 123

[WashingtonCoug]

Allison - She was oh so easy.

[Hypoplastic]

Not counting any PE classes, probably my independent study Comms 201 course. It was pretty much filling in worksheets with an open book test at the end.

The 300 level required English composition class at BYU was super easy. Our teacher was a grad student who was pregnant and didn't give a crap. The final paper was supposed be this 30-40 page monstrosity and she made us do like 10 pages and called it good. Lots of movie days. Lots of class treats. The class met once a week and was supposed to be for 3 hours. It usually didn't go past an hour.

History of jazz. Interesting class though.

[Moliere]

Accounting 200

I took a similar class in high school through SLCC. I never studied and did all the homework in the first week. Aced every test. I also didn't have Norm.

Tie between baseball, weightlifting and officiating.

History of jazz. Interesting class though.
