Because each course has different instructors, difficulty varies from section to section. In my experience, the easiest classes are the ones you are legitimately interested in or passionate about. The more you are personally invested in something, the more willing you will be to learn and the more likely you will be to take pleasure in your learning.

Also, classes that are “easy” for some are “hard” for others. For instance, the “Mind” Sosc sequence involves a lot of scientific papers. This will be difficult for those who don’t care much for science but will be significantly easier to those with experience reading scientific papers. Another example is Hum. Some Hum sequences are text-focused while others are more philosophical. Depending on one’s interests, the difficulty of each sequence will vary.

Also, some courses have different levels (there are three different intro to stat levels for example.)

My advice is to read through the catalog and read through course evaluations. Courses will jump out at you and the choice shouldn’t be too difficult.
