So what are the "easy A" classes at Brown?

Maybe I’m in the minority, but as long as I’m interested in the topic (and did a quick check with friends/Critical Review to make sure the professor isn’t ridiculously difficult), I find any humanities courses to be rather easy. I have yet to be in a writing-intensive (not necessarily WRIT, but paper-based) course that was hard to get an A in. Meanwhile, I have friends that end up with B’s in courses like ENGN9 because they don’t actually care about the material and have to scramble to study for the finals towards the end.

In my opinion, any course where the professor can watch your progress and help you along the way will either be an easy A or an “easy” A (meaning that the course may be challenging, but putting in the work will yield results that you want to see).
