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

I don’t recall anyone I know having difficulties with the intro to econ course, and that’s a field I wish I had explored a little bit more.

People with a mathematically-inclined brain may find Intro to Linguistics to be light in terms of workload and not overly demanding in terms of grading as well…but not everyone finds it that way. I also really disliked the class, mostly because of the instructor’s approach.

Although I never took a course S/NC, that’s always a possibility for a 5th course, too, since this allows one to worry less about the difficulty and focus more on something that’s interesting.

As someone who took 5 courses in 6 of my 8 semesters with about half of them in Math, Applied Math, and Computer Science, though…the free time may be more valuable. CS33 is much more work than 15-16 or 17-18, timewise, for example, though I don’t know what changes will be made this year - several of the projects were much longer or more difficult than expected and had to be changed.
