Easiest Breadth?

[magnum]

I was wondering what would be a good breadth subject for semester 2. One that is pretty easy and doesnt require much work lol. Can be level 1, 2 or 3.

Thanks

Sports coaching, wine tasting and pretty much any of the inter-disciplinary breadth subjects I've heard are pretty bludgy.

If you come from a science background, Genetics Health and Society is obscenely easy (don't attend first 4 weeks of lectures, get 100% on the test worth 10% of your mark).

Otherwise creative writing is pretty simple if you're into that, since there's no exam and it's pretty low in terms of writing requirements.

A friend said Sex, Science and the Community was really awesome but didnt comment on how easy it was, might be worth looking into that.

edit, i heard someone say that African Dance and Drum is only 6.25 credit points, perhaps don't do that unless you're willing to make up the other points by overloading or summer semester?

I'm doing random arts subjects which have no exam, which I find easy.

Ahh ok I'll check it later - I really wanted to do creative writing as a breadth but I also want to do Principles of Business Law and there's only 1 breadth each year in actuarial...

This is how I pick my breadth as well.

I pick subjects related to my course/future :O

I must be in the minority lol

I love arts subjects too! I guess it'll be a toss-up between business law and creative writing then...
So what are the easiest art subjects (breadth)?

Everyone does that for the 75% of their course that is, you know, part of their course. For the breadth options, most of them won't make a difference, pick the easy ones to boost your GPA

And the easiest breadth vary depending on the person, when you get to uni you can decide for yourself (typically no exam is a good sign, or if it's not an academic subject like Choir or Australia in the Wine World)

how do they work out GPA if the class is only Pass/Fail ?

[Russ]

No idea, never done a pass/fail only subject. Got a feeling it won't be counted towards GPA but you might want to check that?

Even if there are no exams, there should be assignments, performances or essays or some form of assessment,

Even for choir:
Assessment will be on a pass/fail basis and will be based on preparation of parts, individual and/or sectional practice and active participation in all rehearsals, classes and performances as directed (75%); attendance and submission of a concert report of three appropriate concerts (500 words each, due weeks 4, 8 and 12) (25%). Less than 80% attendance will result in a fail. All assessment components must be passed in order to pass the subject, including the timely, satisfactory completion of all three concert reports.

And Australia in the Wine World:
Examination - Theory (2 hours) = 40% (During Teaching Block)
Examination - Practical (1 hours) = 20% (During teaching block)
4 online quizzes = 20% ( one each week following the teaching block)
Practical book = 20% (Submitted 4 weeks after the teaching block)
