    Do not take econ 103 or 105 unless you need them.

    What other easy GPA booster classes are there in WQB department.
    Thank u

    Psych is easy, whatever you have the most interest in will be the easiest. Cogs 100 is a good course since it has all three designations.
  • crimematic
    Have you already taken CRIM 101 and CRIM 131? Because you need both before you can take 210

    No I haven't. What other class can I take instead of that. GPA boosters. I'm planning to transfer over to sfu so I need to able to do transferable classes
  • 112233
    Oh you're transferring? I took 100 level language courses before transferring. Very easy but they don't count towards any breadth requirements.

    Take Psych with Jamie Palmer-Hague trust me. Russel Day's class is shit from what I heard.

    DUDE DO NOT TAKE PHIL 110 philosphy is NOTORIOUSLY difficult at SFU. Also, familiarize yourself with ratemyprof and look up your profs. The reviews can be very accurate in most cases. And don't take econ 103-105 unless you need them. Econ lower levels are also quite difficult

    Why don't you take KIN 110/1140, CMNS 100, or idk which courses did you love in high school? just keep looking and see a course that may interest you. You'll do better in the courses you actually wanna know more about.

    I made the mistake of choosing archaeology 100 thinking it was gon be easy as shiz but IT WAS SOOO DAMN BORING i wanted to cry every lecture. my prof was horrible as well. it was painful and i regret it so much. Don't take a course just cuz ppl say its a gpa booster, make sure u wouldnt mind it becuz you may end up doing bad becuz u dont care for the subject.

    Psych 100-102 are interesting but they do require some work to get a decent grade. Lots of textbook usage and i clickers almost every week but they made you study and absorb the material so you dont need to cram end of term.

    ^Well said about the Psych courses. Although I haven't even cracked the textbook open once yet and everything's been in the 90's.

    Thanks. And what does distance education mean
  • Buddha
    What would you guys define as a easy class. I'm having a hard time. I can't write essays well, can't really memorize stuff well, not good at sciences at all.
  • 112233
    Well how do you plan on doing well in your core major courses then? Sure you can get in by taking easy transfer courses, then what? Sure Cs get degrees, but you can't do co op with a low GPA, and you can't get into grad school with a low gpa.
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    LOL. @Buddha if you can't write essays well, or you can't memorize stuff well then you can't really do anything because it's either of the two hahaha other than math. 

    Dist ed.= online
