This is Leanna, Brian's fiancee, Art History classes are very interesting if you like history and the study of other cultures. However, it is a lot of memorization of names and dates, and sitting in a dark room looking at slides of artwork for like, three hours. There is usually reading involved from somewhat large texts that talk about the society of the time and the art that was produced. If it is a survey course, it will go through a large span of time and sometimes it can be difficult to keep the eras straight. My suggestion would be, if you are looking for easy A's, stick with something that interests you and that won't necessarily cause too much undo stress. That is what Art History is to me, but I am an Art major.
i took women's studies as an easy elective senior year. it was a mistake, because it was full of hostile women and me and the two other dudes in the class had to participate way too much for the "guys perspective". but on the bright side, i got an A- in it. And my final paper was a 20 pager on why cereal mascots were sexist

Why, because they're all male?
if so, you must have had a hell of a time getting 20 pages on it.
it was basically a history on mascots and advertisements and blah blah blah. you can basically make 20 pages on anything if you're desperate and bullshitty enough.
An introductory lecture course which surveys the general principles and techniques of atmospheric science and illustrates their application through discussions of natural but unusual weather phenomena such as blizzards, hurricanes, tornados, and chinooks, of the effects of air pollution on weather, and of intentional human alteration of the atmosphere.

Chinooks? I thought this thread was about a black guy.
I took a Folklore course and several Sociology courses for my electives. I have to do one more this coming semester and I chose an Introduction to Psychology course. Folklore was by far the easiest course I've ever done. I graduate in April with a Mechanical Engineering degree. My Uni has a 6 year Co-op program. Longest 6 years of my life.

i desperately need to pick a career to pursue and get in school but i don't enjoy or care about anything so it's kind of hard to pick something
The one I did was called "Introduction to Folklore" and honestly, I wouldn't be able to tell
you what it was about. It really depends on the professor. He gave us 10% of the semester
for showing up on Fridays and the final was only worth 15%.

The books for Slavic Folklore class are Russian Myths and Russian Fairytales.
I'm so tempted.

You can probably ace the final if you had to do so right now.
GERM 124 German Cinema in Context
But be ready to drop on the first day if it turns into Godwin's law; that'd actually end up being hard because it means you have a film professor who for some reason is Nazi obsessed.
Interesting trap on that list:
MUSC 136/MUSC 336 Masterworks of Music
Any serious history of music class will kill you unless you have a music background and a solid grasp on what history professors want to hear.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
In my experience, most German professors don't talk about Hitler that much because there's actually a lot more to German culture than fucking Hitler.
But they aren't German professors; they're film professors
Which means there's a 50/50 chance they mistook Triumph of the Will to be important because of the subject and not the filming technique

It'd be pretty difficult to teach a German Cinema class that was about Hitler since they've only produced 3 movies featuring Hitler as the main character since the 1950's.
And one of them is a parody that came out last year called Mein Führer: The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler

i'd say pick a class you're interested in instead of just an easy A

you pretty much have to talk abotu Leni Riefenstahl if you're talking about German cinema though

They didn't let me chose history as an elective.
They let me do electives such as Offshore Oil Construction, and Transportation Design.
As these were actually somewhat practical for my education.
Satans..... hints.....
All I did was show up to class and discuss the day's topic and maybe do a small paper every once in a while. And get an A. It was that simple.

the rest of your classes are about carefully balancing your required hours with potential deductions to your GPA
Are they film professors?
Based on class heading, it looks to be a German class, not a film class.
