    I need some help....I need any 3 hour class for the fall 2006. It doesn't matter what it is, I just want it to be an easy A. Does anyone know what class to take?

    I'm not sure any 3 hour class is going to be an "easy A." The truly easy classes I had were my 1 and 2 hour Kinesiology coaching classes. Although I never took Human Sexuality, I did hear it was somewhat easy, but hard as f**k to get into. The other 3 hour KIN classes weren't terribly hard, but not a walk in the park either. Their was some work involved.

    With that said, I always that the easiest class I ever took at Texas was Intro to Sociology or one of those intro Multi-cultural classes that you took instead of a foreign language.

    Agree with those who state Human Sexuality being the easiest A. You can take both the KIN and EDP versions like I did. God that helped my horrible GPA my senior year.

    Classical Mythology (but I loved that ****)

    For me, easy was anything other than my electrical engineering classes.

    Integrated Communications for Sports

    Test are easy and if you go to class, the material is actually pretty interesting. When I took it about half the class only showed up on test days.

    Human Sexuality, i'd recommend Brownstein but i hear both of the teachers are solid.

    EM 390: Elastic and Inelastic Structural Stability

    It is a graduate level engineering mechanics class. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Here is the class:

    4 students and 1 professor.
    Go to class.
    Buy the textbook, because the professor wrote it.
    Sit around and talk about how things were when the professor was a boy, which I'm guessing was around the time Mr. Burns was born.
    No homework of any kind.
    No exams of any kind.
    No work of any kind was ever turned in.
    Occasionally, if the professor felt like it, we would do a problem on the chalkboard and discuss it.
    It was a Tues/Thurs class, and class was cancelled at least once a week.
    Everyone got an "A".

    The only catch is I'm sure the prerequisites would prohibit a non-engineering undergrad from taking it, but as far as easy classes go, I can't fathom an easier one. A corpse could literally pass if it just stayed in the classroom.

    98-01 private pilot aeronautics was damned easy. but i'm also a pilot. the thing is, the tests are just pulled from the test bank of the FAA written exam which all questions are published so all you have to do is memorize the questions and answers. you can literally come out of that class with 100% without any real effort.

    human sex was good. i don't even remember what we did or if it was easy or not, but it was a cool class.

    kiddie lit is a trap class. it turns out you actually do have to read the books. but thats all you had to do. i went to every class before the first test and got a C, and then didn't go to a single class afterwards and got a 96 and 98 on the tests or something like that. i still had to take it pass fail though because i couldn't get an a after the first test

    Of those mentioned, Kiddy Lit will also have the best "scenery" for when you're not paying attention.

    I'll second the EDP 310 suggestion. You'll get to meet a lot of football players, if that's any indication.

    Yes, the key is football players. Befriend one early on, and get the "recommended class schedule." They register before everyone else, so there are no guarantees, but try. I will never forget my SPE 312 class (training the speaking voice) where half the guys were on the team. They were rapping their finals and ****. It was effing awesome, especially the after-class drunk fest at Nasty's.

    Risk Management 357e. Only if the professor is Arnold. Look it up on pick-a-prof, like 88% of students get an 'A'. It is a relatively useful class (all about the insurance industry), and absurdly easy.

    RTF 301 (i think) intro to media studies was easy. just have to go to class. we had 4 50 question tests, many of which are common sense easy.

    MUS 30? history of rock music wasn't the absolute easiest class i figured it would be, but i enjoyed reading the material and it was pretty easy.

    I had Daley for Human Sex. I have heard she is better because she doesnt call students out the way Brownstein does. Carner's marketing was pretty easy. Also there was Integrated Communication for Sports taught by Fortunato. I liked that class a lot and it was easy.

    Greek and Latin terms in the English Language. Show up, get the study notes from Paradigm, and take 7 quizzes, the lowest of which is dropped. The class ends 4 weeks before the end of the semester and there is no final. The quizzes were 20-30 questions and we straight from the Paradigm notes. Got 3 hours of A for about 3 hours of study time the entire semester.

    STAT 310 - of course that was in 1974, the hardest part was looking like you didin't have a ******* clue when you went to turn your deck in to run your programs in the computer room of the BEB. If you looked like you knew what was going on you would get innundated with questions about programming from the business majors that didn't have a ******* clue. The best part was not having to go to class or take any tests or the midterm or final after the third week because the instructor was tired of having me correct him in class and offered me an A if I didn't show up anymore.

    "Training the Speaking Voice" is almost required coursework if you are involved in UT athletics. It's been a staple of the football program since at least the early 80's (I took it in 1984).

    This one is as easy as it gets. Just answer "Whitey is the devil" on every single question and you're solid.

    "So why is the Native American's single tear so important here?"

    "Uhhh... 'cause Whitey is the devil?"

    "You make a great point. Thank you."

    That intro to RTF is not an easy A. At least when Horace was teaching. I was in the class during the infamous seizure lecture. Big class at the UTC and a student had a seizure and the paramedics came, rolled her out on a gurney, but the llecture kept going. Crazy. Same prof. also revealed he cried when Magnum P.I. was cancelled. Fun times, but not really easy. Alot of the communication intro classes are trap classes.

    My vote? History of Rock n Roll. If you can't write an essay about your favorite rock band - maybe college isn't for you.
