| I have two picks for science, both labs.
Phyiscal Science with lab:
The best easy class to take is Astro 3 with McLean, its easy and interesting.
I got a 98.9% before the extra credit lol, an 8th grader could get an A in this class no problem. Lectures and test are very straightforward and do not focus on details. What makes them so easy is that if you attend lecture and get a feel for the vocabulary you can eliminate 3 wrong answers easily (multiple choice tests). In another words, if a question asks about a star, there would be one correct answer and three other answers that were about stuff in the class, but not stars.
Life Science with lab:
Phy Sci 5 is a good choice because its lab is a project that is super easy and graded VERY easy. Also, you never have to go to class because 100% of the test material is right out of the reader and the lectures are the reader. (They will tell you this upfront).
Contrary to what Bruinwalk says, I'd take it with Barnard/Roberts (Fall Quarters) not just Roberts alone. True Barnard is borning, but you don't need to go to class so that really doesn't matter, but his midterm was cake--much easier than Roberts' | |

| Easiest Life Science are Geography 2 and 5... although one of my majors is Geography...
Atmos Sci 2 & 3 with Lew (coincidentally my other major) are the easiest Physical Science ones. And this isn't just because these are my majors that the material is simple for me... these classes just happen to be ridiculously easy. | |

| Yeah that is a down side, boring labs. The TAs will basically give you the answers though. There was stuff like making a telescope, using a spectrometer, stuff in the planetarium, etc...They're no big deal, not very hard and not graded hard, but a bit tedious. No like lab write ups, just fill out the worksheet. | |
