Choosing classes to fulfill requirements

Hi everyone...

I am seeking some advice about my schedule. I have a very heavy course load semester but need to fulfill several trinity requirements. Here are the classes I am thinking about

AMES 134S-01 Discourse on Disease with Rojas
CBB212 Responsible Genomics with Cook-Deegan
SOCIO161 Health and Aging with D. Gold
PSY102 Alcohol: Brain, Individual, and Society Swartzwelder

I need to take two of these, so any advice on which two to take would be much appreciated!

Basically, I would like something relatively easy in terms of grading, but I don't mind doing the work. So, work heavy is fine. I just want to make sure I will do well if I spend the time.

Thanks in advance!

I have not taken any of these classes (or even knew the first two departments existed), but ratemyprofessors.com should have really good descriptions of both the courses and the professors. My only other suggestion would be to take the courses that seem interesting, or if you're nearing graduation, to fulfill your Trinity reqs ASAP.

Take whichever class fulfills the most requirements...honestly. I'm a second-semester senior, and am being forced to take 75% of classes which I'm not remotely interested in bc I have 4 grad requiements left to fulfill.

I think that soch class is an EI...always nice to fill those! My advice is yeah, pick the classes which fulfill the most T-Reqs in areas your major won't! Then you'll have a much better junior/senior year. I promise.

Based purely on amount of effort and highest grades, psy 102 seems to be the easiest:
