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

I must inquire as to why your son is not doing his own research for classes he could elect to take. Your coming to a message board searching for such answers tells me that you are a little too involved in the young man’s life during a time when he should be finding his own way just as students of the past have done.



I’d say you are being pretty judgmental for a first-time poster. Of course my son makes his own decisions; I am just his occasional researcher and advisor. My son has a broad range of interests, and if he can find a 5th class that he both finds interesting and where he can get an A without being too distracted from his core classes, why not explore it?

As it turns out, my youngest son and I have similar and complementary personalities (INTP/ENTP): he’s the intellectual and I’m the strategist. We are also partners in a web development business – he and his older brother handle the heavy tech stuff and I handle the rest, including research and communications. How this relates to the topic would take many paragraphs to explain and would bore most people here – but rest assured that my son is an excellent independent thinker, not that browbeaten helpless kid you seem to see. Feel free to PM me if this matter still concerns you.
