just need 1 more elective

thanks for the all the replies from the previous thread guys. i'm definitely going with pyschology, but i need 1 more elective, so which one do you guys think is the easiest ?

1. Sociological Perspectives
- introduction to basic sociological concepts & theoretical frameworks used to understand social structures and cultures that transcend & shape personal experience.
- focusing on Canadian society in historical & comparative context

2. Introduction to Politics: Exploring the Democratic Experience
- introduces students to the central concepts of political science.
- emphasis on how individuals participate in politics and how politics may be changed.
- material from municipal, provincial, national and international levels of politics will be included as well as material on current policy issues, such as recent changes in the Ontario Human Rights Code.

3. Introduction to Social Anthropology

keep in mind an intro to Psychology course is not *that* easy, depending upon the prof...it's one of the largest 1st year classes at many universities...and thus it's often used to weed out all the people who take it simply because it's one of the "cool" subjects to take. Many 2nd year courses are still "intro" courses, but much smaller because so many people don't continue in that field

Sociology is interesting, but I had a *brutal* 1st year prof who I think ruined the entire subject for me, lol.

I'd go with Psychology and the Politics course...because those topics interest me the most (my degree majors were Psychology and Philosophy, mostly ethical and political philosophy at that).

take the two that interest you most...that way, you'll be more motivated to do well, no?

Sounds interesting - I'd take this (even if it wasn't the easiest).
