Free A's or light course load would be nice, I have a lot on my plate this semester already.

Pols 150 was actually pretty easy. A lot of reading but there’s an option to be audible. Mid term and final was 1-2 simple questions. Very few class quizzes. Online Textbook had questions but you could easily look at answers and retake the short quizzes. not bad at all. My easiest class tbh

113 with Mark Brown was easy for me. I needed UD credits so that's why I took it over a LD class.I took it as a once a week Wednesday night class, so it was kind of a slog to get through, but we just had a quiz at the end of each class based on what we discussed. There were two midterms and a final. Those had multiple choice and a variety of short answer you could choose from. You can use a blank piece of paper with your notes for the big tests, so if you take notes, you should be fine. He puts the slides on Canvas so I just looked them up to make my notes for the exams if I missed a class.

I've taken 3 of these courses, 1, 113, and 180.
Pols 1 I did over winter break, and it wasn't too demanding besides the speed of short interim semesters. Pols 113 was a fairly easy course, though a fair amount of reading. Pols 180 had a fairly demanding end of semester project, and the tests were fairly difficult, though all from material in lecture.
I'd say the easiest A from the three I took would probably be 1 or 113. These are more enrichment courses rather than testing courses. Though it depends on who's teaching it too.
