I took AA 20A w/ Choy and it was the easiest class ever. The final was open book. The main assignments were based on 1 book on primary sources. The weekly readings were not much. You can literally not do any readings and still understand what’s going on, most likely earning yourself an A. It also helps if you’re Asian American or good with American history.

Coupling this course along with the easy PFFP and Music 27 (which is easy according to the above poster) leaves you with 2 important Haas prerequisites. It was wise to choose these 3 courses to supplement the 2 harder ones. Nevertheless, you will need to do a lot of memorization for UGBA10 and PFFP (small details for the exam essays). I don’t know how many breadths/prereqs you need to complete, but if you have the opportunity, you can always just drop Econ 1/UGBA10. The curves are both tough in these classes. If you think you can handle it, take on both, or if not, why don’t you just take one of the others as a sophomore?
