You Asked: “What are the easiest courses to take at Queen’s?”

We Answered: You’ve come to the right place! Queen’s certainly offers some of the most stimulating and challenging courses out there, and the majority of the courses I’ve taken at Queen’s were tough. However, there are quite a few courses that are so hard to fail it’s nearly impossible. I’d hazard a guess that it’s easier to get above an 80 in these classes than it is to get below a fifty.

The list we’ve put together below is by no means finished. You could spend eight years at Queen’s attempting to take all the easiest courses. Not a bad way to spend your twenties, but the point is to take these classes in moderation, enjoy your required courses more due to your new found free time, and break the mould a little by taking a course or two (albeit an easy one) outside your department.

All in all, you can’t go wrong with a bird courses here or there. Just don’t base your life around them:

Architecture in the Classical Tradition
Organizational Behaviour
Physicists in the Nuclear Age
Film Production
Basic Human Nutrition
000 Level Language Courses
Any Course Offered at the Castle

For all your alumni out there; what was the easiest course you ever took at Queen’s? Pass along that wisdom!
