Take black and white photography. Apply yourself to it, and then watch as the way you see the world changes.

Unemployment …..Just kidding

When I did my Finance degree the Finance department offered a personal finance course. It was pretty easy and useful in the real world.

History of Cosmology. Most interesting course I've ever taken. Similar to Astronomy but I'm going to assume you know much about the universe already, but how we got to this understanding and the hurdles (mostly religious oppression) the "scientists" faced is pretty cool.

Sorry, and it's facking easy. And there's a 90% likelyhood that your teacher smokes lots of dope.

Well known among UBC slackers, take Wine Science!

http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/undergraduate/course-listings/fnh330

Anyone I know that took this course found it excellent and interesting but far from easy.

You learn about every aspect of wine making down to how certain regions/dirts make particular tastes. You are then tested on how well you can locate a taste.

Great course just don't take it thinking it will be stupid easy.

Of course, if you are already a sommelier you'll have no problem.

ummm if you take 100 level cultural anthropology its pretty slack.

Basically your in a class full of 19-20 year old chicks, and an old guy tells you stories about how he studied jungle people for 20 some years (assuming the same guy still teaches it at UBC i took it 5 years ago)

Lectures = story time
Labs = group discussion about stories
Test = a bit of terminology with long answer questions asking you to tell the moral of a particular story

Basically you just doze of in story land and you get a decent mark anyways. Your supposed to do a big study project on any people of your choosing but it took me 5 hours the day before and I even got a B on it.

Natural Disasters was kind of cool too but involved a bit of actual learning. My gf at the time was taking it. Some people managed to fail both of these courses but how they managed is beyond me, I didn't buy the textbook or even attend all the lectures and I got 74% in Anthro.

aren't you essentially looking for an unrelated, easy first year course?
