Can someone recommend me some chill first year electives for ubc? as in minimal studying for tests? i am not the science or math guy so looking for something in the arts section... thanks.

[twitchyzero]

MATH 180
:troll:

[crazyazn]

^I think you meant MATH 221

[twitchyzero]

he wanted a first year easy class:whistle:

maybe someone in 2nd year can chime in...because easy classes can change easily into hard ones if it's diff profs etc

[dyan]

earth and ocean sciences online are all pretty easy

[instantneedles]

earth and ocean sciences online are all pretty easy

yeah heard about that....but why online?

[dyan]

i heard in class was brutal, i personally took online and found it really easy.. Got a B+ without much effort at all.

The quiz answers can all be found in your notes with a simple ctrl + F.

[Zoidberg]

EOSC 118 online

[instantneedles]

if only EOSC 118 had inclass sessions life would be alot easier for me

[pamplemousse]

i heard IHHS 200 is easy

[optiblue]

MATH 180
:troll:

I got a solid B- in that class :fuckyea:

[instantneedles]

Since were on the topic of online courses as well, what are the pros and cons of them? Things to think about? Things to watch out for?

[ShadowBun]

EOSC114

[turbomelon]

womens studies 201

[rageguy]

Math101. Math for beginners, hence the 101 designation.

[instantneedles]

anyone do biol 155 human biology before? what is the level of difficulty? on a scale of 1-10 and why...

[twitchyzero]

^ if that's the lecture portion of biol 153 then it's not considered an easy course. If you get on your hands on old exams then you can do well but otherwise it's a lot of work.

[instantneedles]

ok then fuck it LOL, i don't wanna work.pce

ECON 101, 102
After you have taken these 2, and you're not in Arts, most of your upper credits for electives will be from ECON and it will be a breeze. All you need to do is take the 300 level courses that are completely useless, I took 317, 371, 334, 336,
ASTR 101, 102
Most of the first year EOSC courses
POLI 100
ENGL 301 (easy and VERY useful, my resume and cover letters were 100x better after this course)
PHIL 120 (this one is a must, insanely easy so make sure you take it before you are fourth year as there is a restriction)

and yes I have been here for a long time... I know the good stuff ;)

Took Econ 317 Poverty and Inequality as an elective as well. Super easy, didn't need to do anything and still ended up with an 88.

which prof did u take econ 317 with? Was it with Douglas Catherine? i've been getting mixed reviews on her from ratemyprofessor.

[JoeyStorm]

Most of my upper level ECON electives are with Douglas Catherine. It all depends on if you're willing to write papers and essays or not. I took 334, 336 and 317 with her. 334 and 336 are kind of like history lessons and for exam type questions if you know your econ you will do fine (ie. how do certain things affect GDP, inflation, etc).

Personally on a final exam I'd rather straight BS and stretch some points for 1-2 questions then go through hell. Her midterms are ALWAYS the same, take home and short answer. She is a very boring prof though so I showed up to a total of about 4 lectures in each of her classes (1 in which I went to pick up the midterm and the other was to hand it in).

But ECON 317 you have a choice of either doing a term paper (in which only 3 people did in my class) or doing some volunteer work and I literally didn't do a single thing for that and still got a pretty good grade. There will always be a keener in your group that will carry you.

Thanks for the reply joey, does exams by catherine require any math calculations? Cause I'm not that strong at math since a lot of econ courses require calculus and derivatives. Thanks again!

Nope, I don't think she teaches any econ courses like that, but to be safe just take the ones I did. Always short answer or essay type questions. The one about Europe and the Industrial Revolution was insanely easy to BS because one of the final essay questions was "how did the Industrial Revolution affect the economy in Europe?" or something like that. And the whole course was about the IR so you would have tons of points to just crap out.

Thanks again for the reply, does she assign lots of irrelevant readings each lecture? I hate profs who assign lots of useless readings that are just "background" info and not relli needed to do well in that course. And how many pages for the paper you have to write and have to use how many additional sources (journal articles) ? I heard from ppl who took 336 that she tests little bits of math for the midterm and requires you to know some bell graph or curve. Her ratings are not as easy as you say they are on ratemyprof.com
Thanks again!

I usually don't trust ratemyprof that much. If you know your econ concepts pretty well then you should be fine. If you need upper level arts electives I think econ is the way to go, otherwise you could take a language.

I still have my old papers from her classes that you can take a look at.

Yup, took it with Douglas.

Like joeystorm said, you can either do a community service learning group work related to poverty and inequality or write a term paper. Most people in my class did the CSL and so did I. It was pretty easy because it was the first time they were doing the volunteer stuff when I took 317 last winter. I actually learned a lot through the community service.

There are also labs where participation marks are given as long as you show up. Labs are all group work too so you get to work with different people.

Midterm was take a take home exam. Careful on this one as the marking is a bit harsher. You need to give very specific and detailed answers.

For the final she gives guide questions beforehand based on the assigned readings. Honestly, I didn't buy the package and did not do any readings. A bunch of us just made a google doc where people answered the guide questions and we all studied from that. The questions on the final were very similar to the guide questions.

You don't really need any econ knowledge for the course. It helps but its not needed. There is no math at all.

thanks for the input, i'm an econ minor so i gota take 6 more econ courses to fullfill that requirement. For the Coummunity service thing you were talking about, what is it? Is it where you go to a community centre to work on it or what? Do you do it during your own time?

[king_2011]

For the coming fall semester i plan on taking econ 341 "economic development of Asia" with Akbar Mohammed, econ 387 "transitions and transformation" with Neary Hugh. Any thoughts on those 2 courses?

For term 2 i signed up for econ 356 "introduction to international finance" with Gordon Munro who everyone on ratemyprof said is super easy where you just gota memorize his slides. I am also signed up for econ 336 with Catherine Douglas. Any thoughts on econ 356 ? thanks in advance!

You work with an organization and basically help them out. You might have to do some research for them, spread awareness for their cause, create a website so they can reach out to more people, find potential donors or supporters, create a video for them, go to schools and talk about them, plan a film festival, and etc. You do it in groups so the workload is very manageable. Don't get turned off if it seems hard - its not. The organizations give presentations and you can choose based on that. We had CCPA/First Call, Lotus Outreach, TRAS, and Frog Hollow.

Keep trying to get in its worth it!

I did Econ 355 but with Kotwal. Class was ok. Average difficulty, just need to exert more effort.

I took Econ 356 with Lahiri. This class was really fun. As long as you understand your basic macroeconomics you should be fine. No math, just a lot of graphs and diagrams but its really easy to gain the intuition for them because its pretty much cause and effect. Once you get to 456 that's when there's a lot of math and it becomes much harder haha

Econ 371 Economics of non-renewable resources is supposed to be pretty easy too.

Just avoid any class with Vaney if you don't like math.

econ 371 this sem is taught by chapple Clive and i think its gona be relli hard based on ratemyprof. He teaches using alot of derivatives which i think i gona die from if he tests me on that. Chapple clive is one of the harder profs for econ i think. I was gona take econ 365 with Vaney this summer but ended up dropping it cause i sensed that it was gona be a hard class. I am an econ minor so i just need 10 econ courses in total of my choosing so i rather choose the easier ones.

Nope.... Starting September it will be my sixth year there (sigh..) I was supposed to grad last term but I was short 3 credits (basically failed 1 course and my CPSC prof wouldn't bump me to a 50 and I was pretty damn close)

I took this course, and not being an ECON major I found this course tough. If you do all his assignments you will be fine though. The textbook is the same every year, and the examples in the textbook teach you how to do the problems on the assignments. Honestly, I think he's a good prof, but the midterm was tough. Final was a bit better because there were more short answer questions to save you. Otherwise the rest is MC.

Oh sorry, I actually meant econ "351" women and the economy by mukesh eswaran. I said "355" in my previous post. Econ 351 was hell !!! I managed to pass with a 50%. I was pissed at this course cause it wasn't meant to be a hard course compared to 301,303 etc and the class midterm average was 56% which is super low for an econ course which isn't a core course( required) for an econ major/minor.

I enjoyed the content of the course and learned a lot but if you want a high gpa then avoid this class. Haha I tell all my friends to steer clear from this class. Had to study super hard for the final just to get a decent mark. It was my first final last term so I literally studied for a whole week just to pull up my grade. I feel that it should not have been that much effort.

We were probably in the same class lol. He scaled the 56% didn't he? Made it like 60% or so.. still friggin low for a third year level. Econ 351 also has the lowest average among ALL econ courses. I found this out too late :okay:

Most of my upper level ECON electives are with Douglas Catherine. It all depends on if you're willing to write papers and essays or not.

But ECON 317 you have a choice of either doing a term paper (in which only 3 people did in my class) or doing some volunteer work and I literally didn't do a single thing for that and still got a pretty good grade. There will always be a keener in your group that will carry you.

Why don't you take it online? I'm taking FNH 200 right now online, beats going to class :awwyeah:

[rocksforsale]

IIRC, the summer course schedule will be up around mid Feb/reading week. Registration dates for summer courses will be out around Aprial/exam time.

FNH 200/250 seem like some of the easier classes I have to take next year, so I'll take them in the summer to get them out of the way with so I can focus on not failing CHEM 233 :badpokerface:

[Noizz]

I need 3 more 300+ level electives non-COMM, any ideas? Thinking of doing FMST 316 online, but I need 2 more...

EOSC? GEOG?

[ShadowBun]

IHHS

94% averages and the lowest percent people in class get is 92%

Cant go wrong.

wow. definitely taking atleast one ihhs class

[ShadowBun]

my suggestion is to start with IHHS200
then take 400 or 407 (300 or 411 if u are good with dist. ed.)

Does IHHS 300 or 400 have 200 as a pre-req? Neither course mentions a pre-req...:badpokerface:

Thing is I don't need to take any more 200 level electives.

[ShadowBun]

anything IHHS requires no pre-req :fullofwin:

[rien]

Oh I'm applying for UBC and SFU now too ^_^ average is 98...hehe but probably gonna drop to 94/95. Is the supplemental that important? This is because I really really want to get into Sauders =/

Yes. And stop saying "sauders" because it is just sauder.

ANTH 103, I took it on the summer and even though lectures were 3 hrs long, we spent most of the time watching videos and discussing cools stuff. i really liked that course.

[kcl38]

Anyone taken HIST 106? Signed up to do it online in the summer because it sounds super interesting but I'm not sure what the difficulty level is

Has anyone taking greek and roman mythology? CLST 105

[dat_steve]

CNPS 4something...425 i think? easiest course i've ever taken in my life by far. this is coming from a guy who has taken the easy EOSC courses, PSYC, FNH - you name it.
learned the course/exam material 6 hours before the final.
mentally purged course/exam material 6 minutes after the final.

[Zoidberg]

Bump!

This class was easy for me.

If you're good with memorization easy A+

we were allowed a cheatsheet for our final so you barely have to memorize small details

[CP.AR]

EOSC ... all mutiple choice question exam
all questions pretty much ripped out from the homework word by word

forgot the course code, but it was Gems and Precious Metals

eosc 114 pretty chill as well.
Heard FMST 220 is stupid easy. Any truth in that?

[Zoidberg]

^There's no course called FMST 220 :p

Has anyone taken

CNPS 427 - Guidance: Planning and Decision-making and/or
CNPS 433 -The Personal and Social Development of the Adult

I want to take one but not sure which one to take :(

[MeowMeow]

Were you in Sioban Mcelduff's class?

[theevilslave]

LOL whoops i meant FMST 210 haha

[instantneedles]

^alot of practise questions to do, but if you're good at memorizing, then this course is for you.

i'd suggest taking this course during the summer, as I take it that it's a bit easier

[poppinkwan]

EOSC 114, EOSC 118.
ASTR310, 310 - Sort of but then way too much to remember.
FMST 316 Online - All online exercises/exams.
If you speak Canto and can take Chin 221 and 223.

[Selanne_200]

I would say PSYC 306 with soma is pretty easy. Not a lot to memorize for an upper level psyc course and exams are fairly easy. Plus the topics are mildly interesting

yep! a really nice prof, whose class were you in?

[beebob]

WOOD 120,

ASTU150 with Sean Saunders. I am not kidding! The prof was super cool and enthusiastic about his teaching. Never thought english classes were something I would be looking forwards to attend and had fun in. Although this is an english class, it was quite easy as far as work load goes. To give you an idea, english is not my first language. My final mark was about 70%, but I did skipped some classes and handed in a few late assignments, which was an automatic 10% deduction for every day late.

[MeowMeow]

I was in her class too!
Yeah she was hella chill I used to visit her during office hours and we used to chit chat random shits LOL
I wanted to take her course this semester too but didn't work out with my schedule :(

Have you taken either of those courses?

Im deciding between them too, for the summer.

CNPS 427.

The average when I took it 1.5 years ago was 80%

[krystal.gubler]

I noticed many people here have mentioned taking EOSC 118, do any of you still have the notes for it?

This course should've been an easy one.. but I kinda screwed myself over. I worked 2 jobs this semester and just kept putting off working on this course cause I felt my other ones were more important. Now the exam is in a couple days and I simply do not have the time to go through each module :$$ I'm just looking to pass at this point..

If any of you kind souls could lend a helping hand and send me the notes I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

[JoeyStorm]

You shouldn't need any notes on this course. All you need to do is read the textbook.

If I recall it was 100 multiple choice, I read the textbook in one day, went in and finished the exam in like an hour and walked out. Never looked back.

strong first post

[Akinari]

POLI 100, easy stuff. Derped my way through it and still getting above 70%

All you need to look at are the lecture slides. Do not buy the textbook.

[kcl38]

I'm pretty sure its been mentioned before, but FNH 200 online.

3 (or 4?) assignments that you do online, easy marks. Usually some definitions and a couple of long answers. Just go through the online notes for all the answers. Then the final is MC, fill in the blanks (with a word bank), a few matching questions (lol what?), and a written question or two from the assignments
